First, a correction. A Bar regular writes...
"Joe Lieberman is not a Democrat. He is an independent, as he resigned from the Democratic Party. Don't you ever check things out before stating them as facts?
"Wish you the best with your paranoia,"
"-- Steve K"
This comes from one of our most-faithful, unswerving, persistent ...

Enthusiastic tax shill Warren Buffett has put his money where his mouth is.
He's ponied up $49,000 to help pay down the national debt. He's simultaneously matching voluntary contributions already made by Rep. Scott Rigell of Virginia.
Yes, $49,000 to Mr. Buffett is the equivalent of 49 pennies to the rest of ...

Some old Roman guy, Marcus Tullius Cicero to be wikipedially exact, said that the sinews of war are infinite money. The state’s minions only have three ways of getting the money that their war machine needs to stay strong; debt, currency debasing, and taxation. There isn’t anything we can do ...

Yesterday was the morning of my 35th anniversary on the planet.
The well-wishing phone calls started early. I missed the first — from my younger sister, who is always the first to call on my birthday — and made a note to call her back later. I was awake enough to ...

A reminder to all those trigger-happy voters out there: Remember, a vote of no confidence is still a vote and, for true freedom lovers, perhaps the most important one of all.
To this editor’s mind, the only way to avoid being complicit in the crimes the victorious party will inevitably commit ...

Because of failure to heed the limitations of the U.S. Constitution, which has produced runaway federal spending, our nation sits on the precipice of disaster. Former Senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming and Erskine Bowles, White House chief of staff under President Bill Clinton, co-chairmen of President Obama’s debt and deficit ...

These days it takes very little to set me off on yet another rant against the American political class – a proxy for governments the world over.
On occasion, I’m tempted to apologize for these rants. Not so much for the message, but for the frequency.
Unfortunately, when surveying the landscape on ...

It’s “tax week” in America. This week includes that infamous date of April 15th where the I.R.S. intrudes on our lives and tries to convince us (at gunpoint and threat of prison) that our money and property actually belongs to them. Over the years I’ve come to realize that the ...

Every generation scolds the next one down the line and blames society’s ills on the guy up at bat. Considering past policy decisions, this common perspective doesn’t make much sense. Just look at the Great Depression generation, both known for its great character as well as the worst policies of ...

Like many of you, the passage of the healthcare bill wasn’t met with the popping of champagne in my house. I found myself chanting “Uncle Sam, Uncle Sham” as the day wore on. Higher taxes and other major changes are headed our way. And yet, I think there’s something in ...
