Often I get the feeling that something just ain’t right.

Republicans Can Be Leftists Too: Part II

Continuing on the theme that Republicans Can Be Leftists Too is the latest installment.  And the guilty party?  None other than the Left’s favorite bloviator Sean Hannity.

I have been late in posting on this topic, and really, I should have been on top of it from the time it hit.

The subject?

Republicans?  Against it.

Me?  Bad form.  But if they wanna build it, they should be allowed.

Unemployment and Benefits

Once upon a time I became unemployed.  And I registered for benefits.

There is an old story about Milton Friedman.

It goes roughly like this:

Milton Friedman was being escorted past a large construction project by a government finance minister.
