Bill Wavering — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:48:11 +0000

President Obama believes government, and by extension himself, to be the savior of Man. It is conventional wisdom that progressives believe that government can provide for the perfection of Man.

Republicans control the House, so why can't they repeal the ban on incandescent light bulbs?

I don’t know precisely how many Republicans it takes to change a light bulb, but I can tell you that 289 are evidently not enough. That’s how many Republicans are in the House and Senate, yet they can’t accomplish [...]

Selwyn Duke — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 19:47:51 +0000

After the European Union banned conventional incandescent bulbs, German businessman Siegfried Rotthaeuser’s entrepreneurial spirit was sparked. He started selling another product: heatballs.

This is just too good. Many of you know that in a few days the federal ban on conventional incandescent light bulbs will go into effect. And while House Republicans included [...]

Thomas Segel — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 19:31:06 +0000

Nobody really knows how much his or her upcoming Medicare premiums will be.

Concerning my previous commentary on the topic of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, I was excoriated for a misstatement. The subject of the article was the 800-pound gorilla (Obamacare) in the room that Republicans are [...]
