I was fortunate to see Eartha Kitt live at Michael’s Pub in New York in 1983. It was a scintillating show by an inimitable show-biz giant. One of Eartha Kitt’s keys to success was a courageous lack of concern for convention and criticism. She even supported the Iraq war in 2003, despite the resistance to [...]

Of course, the senile New York Times depends upon the mindless bias of its readership. President Bush warned in 2003 and 2006 that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac needed oversight and preventive measures in order to keep them from causing widespread economic disaster. As I have said for months, the Democrats in congress would not [...]

The value of stock in Boeing Company has risen today, presumably because on Saturday, November 1st, 27,000 assembly workers voted to approve the company’s four-year contract offer. This move by workers ended an assembly-workers’ strike that stopped production at western Washington Boeing plants for nearly two months.

The ignorant and gullible will try to elect Barack Obama because they believe that they’ll “get free stuff”, little realizing that they would give up their freedom, and that their jobs will disappear when corporations and businesses are penalized and taxed to death.

Senator Joe Biden was respectful to Governor Palin, consistently addressing her by her title.

Senator Biden didn’t admit the well-known scientific fact that global warming is partially due to cyclical climate changes. He was obviously pandering to the Blame America First crowd.

There is a vicious ad in Español on the radio in Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. Sen.
