Bush, Kennedy and freedom

January 3, 2010

I don’t think any of us who saw it will ever forget 9/11. It was a day of great sorrow, anger, gut-wrenching loss. It was a day that united all Americans.
Unfortunately, we would see the unity of that day fade as the war against the perpetrators and the wider world of terrorism expanded. And it [...]

America deserves better reform and better representatives

December 24, 2009

They, they who are supporters, call the Senate’s health care reform bill the art of compromise. But the more accurate description is the science of corruption.
This bill is a clear case of malice aforethought designed not to benefit the nation but senators. This is obvious in a couple of ways.
First look at the individual carve-outs, [...]

Climate change is people

December 11, 2009

For the man-caused global warming crowd, Heston might as well be saying, “Climate Change is people.”
I talked about this here and since then there has been a bit of a deluge of evidence to reinforce the point that many man-caused global warming proponents believe the real answer is less of us:
Population control called key to [...]

Does blogging, pursuing your passions, really help the job search?

December 10, 2009

Network, be present, be visible. Write a blog, be on Twitter, Facebook. Oh, don’t forget LinkedIn. Never forget LinkedIn.
Apply for jobs? Ha! That’s the old way and it doesn’t work.
That’s the advice I’ve heard and read since being laid off a year ago.
And oh, one more thing. Pursue your passion.
But I wonder. Is pursuing your [...]

God and man at Copenhagen

December 9, 2009

I am not a believer in man-caused global warming (M-CGW). There are several reasons.
Contrary to popular belief — created by a vocal group of scientists and pliant media — what “everybody knows” is not universally accepted by all scientists, and for good reasons.
This division has been intensified by the e-mails of Climategate. Almost as damaging as what [...]

We need more PR*, not more government

November 19, 2009

More government isn’t the answer to our problems, more government is the problem. That’s a paraphrase of Ronald Reagan’s quote and it’s true in many cases today.
(And, BTW, as Ramesh Ponnuru has pointed out, most people using the quote leave out the beginning which mentioned the situation at the time, important because without it some use it to mean [...]

Redfern letter about Kasich story was provocative but lacking

November 18, 2009

Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern’s letter (Nov. 16) criticizing the Dispatch for a story about John Kasich’s time at Lehman Brothers was as provocative as it was unsubstantial. (Essentially this letter was answered two weeks ago with this post, but let’s take another look.)
The gist of the Dispatch story was that Kasich worked hard [...]

Respectively, please don’t pass this kind of health care reform

November 6, 2009

Without histrionics or accusations, whether it’s the monstrosity in the House or the one in the Senate, I join with millions of other Americans in asking our representatives to reject such health care “reform.”
I realize many Americans would like to see this, or something like it, approved. However, based on history and the proposed reform [...]

The stimulus saved jobs! It had to!

November 3, 2009

There has been much controversy on the effectiveness of the stimulus package and whether it created jobs. And the Obama Administration added the practically meaningless category of “saved” jobs to the possibilities of stimulus benefits.
It seems though, according to this story in the Dispatch today, that the way the administration collected data on the stimulus [...]

Kasich shocker: John worked hard, was successful

November 2, 2009

It wasn’t clear why the Dispatch took the approach it did in Sunday’s Insight-section story on John Kasich. Under the headline, “Was Kasich a Wall Street titan?,” the story began with this:
So, we thought we’d ask John Kasich once again: What did you do at Lehman Brothers? — Chris Redfern, chairman, Ohio Democratic Party, June [...]
