California Dreamin’

California! Home to the gold rush, Hollywood and, once upon a time, the greatest of all American dreams. But as Don DeLillo, the great modern American novelist said: “Californians invented the concept of life-style. This alone warrants their doom.”

Our Greek Tragedy

Regardless of who the President is after this close election, the equity markets and the U.S. economy are in trouble. Debt has spread throughout the Western world. The fallout is political dissonance, growing economic hardship and, in some places, mob violence.

Our Hundred Years’ War

The race for the Presidency has been interesting, not because of what either candidate has said, but because of what has been ignored: the Nation’s continued involvement in Afghanistan as well as the progressive deterioration of American strategic goals for the Mideast.

On A Rig And A Prayer

Let us hope Mitt Romney is uncorking non-alcoholic champagne in 34 days. If Romney wins the Presidency, there will be celebrations across the land as hundreds of rigs get set to drill and capture oil inside the United States and along the Nation’s coastlines.

The War With Islam

Around and around we go. Violence and death of innocents on Islamic soil seems to be a perpetual phenomenon. The most recent round of senseless violence was said to have been sparked by the surfacing of a sophomoric YouTube video that pokes fun at Muhammad.

Getting A Job

The race for the Presidency is focusing on which candidate will best help people get a job. Whoever is elected in November, whether President Barack Obama or GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney, it will be his priority to improve the economy. If the economy does improve, that will create jobs.

Keeping Up With The Obamas

President Barack Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney have been trotting out their wives, hoping the women will swing votes to them in the upcoming election. All of it is nonsense, and it leaves voters less informed about either candidate’s plans to revive the American economy.

Ryan Not A Real Libertarian

Presumed Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney tagged a man named Paul for Vice President. There’s just one problem: He picked Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), not Ron Paul (R-Texas). The latter is a real libertarian, while the former is a big-government conservative.

Mitt Romney Won’t Bring Back Norman Rockwell

Renewal in America is a central theme of presumptive Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s platform. However, if he’s elected, Romney will be just the latest President to preside over the United States’ grand decline, which began decades ago.
