Obama’s Political Capital
By: Tom Thurlow (Diary) | February 5th at 09:18 PM |
President Obama blows through his own political capital just as fast as he blows through America’s financial capital. Neither case of over-spending is sustainable, and we will just have to wait to see which spending spree is forced to end first. But this further confirms my suspicion that President Obama’s brains are the most over-rated to occupy the Oval Office in generations. Take his recent | Read More »

The Sanctimony Tax
By: Tom Thurlow (Diary) | December 28th at 10:26 PM |
Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit has a great rallying cry of “ending the Hollywood tax cuts,” as a way of raising the taxes on the Hollywood wealthy. And it is tempting, because if higher taxes on the rich is what the wealthy in Hollywood really want, then this is what they should get. On themselves. To hear the Hollywood rich tell it, rich people like them | Read More »

The One Warren Buffett Tax Hike Proposal You Will Never See
By: Tom Thurlow (Diary) | December 4th at 06:36 PM |
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett is out again with another proposed tax hike. In the New York Times a few days ago Buffett noted with disgust that there are certain higher-income people among us who can find enough loopholes in the tax code so that they pay low tax rates or in some cases, no taxes at all. His solution: a super alternative minimum tax that | Read More »
Brace Yourself For The Paul Ryan Smears
By: Tom Thurlow (Diary) | August 15th at 01:15 PM |
I was cleaning out the Ryan family refrigerator and freezer. I looked into the back of the freezer and there was this round thing covered with newspaper. Slowly I pulled back the newspaper and … it was a frozen head! With a scary expression on its face! As far as I knew I was alone in the kitchen but I turned around and Paul Ryan | Read More »
Issa’s Bombshell
By: Tom Thurlow (Diary) | July 3rd at 01:59 AM |
It sure isn’t looking good for Attorney General Eric Holder nowadays. Last Thursday a certain bombshell landed in the congressional record, courtesy of Congressman Darrell Issa. If last week weren’t so chock full of news already, this bombshell would be the talk of the town. The affidavit Issa inserted into the congressional record outlined what was known about the Fast and Furious Operation as of | Read More »
A Breitbart-Type Reward Offered
By: Tom Thurlow (Diary) | May 17th at 08:12 PM |
Recall that in March, 2010, when the Obamacare battle was raging, following a walk through a Tea Party rally outside the Capitol, black congressional leaders John Lewis and Emanuel Cleaver accused the Tea Party protesters there of spitting on them and calling them the “n-word.” Media outlets ran with it, but then Andrew Breitbart promised a $100,000 reward to the NAACP if anyone can show | Read More »

A Healthcare Alternative To Planned Parenthood
By: Tom Thurlow (Diary) | February 6th at 09:33 AM |
The recent controversy regarding the Susan G. Komen Foundation and its decision to de-fund and then re-fund Planned Parenthood for breast exams got me thinking: there has to be another place for women to get breast exams besides going to Planned Parenthood. After all, in any given year, over 300,000 babies are killed inside Planned Parenthood clinics. Truly a repellent organization. Fortunately, there is an | Read More »
Time To Draft Rubio For VP
By: Tom Thurlow (Diary) | January 31st at 09:03 PM |
Soon we will know the winner of the Florida Republican primary, and the winner in Florida will probably be the ultimate Republican nominee for president. So it is time to start considering whom to have for vice president. Florida Senator Marco Rubio is the man. It’s not too soon! Don’t take “no” for an answer! During the time he has been a senator, Rubio has | Read More »

Loud Mufflers and Music
By: Tom Thurlow (Diary) | January 17th at 02:07 AM |
Let’s have a show of hands: who among those reading are annoyed by loud cars or motorcycles, or a driver who is playing horribly loud music? A few days ago I was passed by a motorcycle that must have had something done to its muffler to make it louder. My ears are still ringing! Something must be done. But wait – something has already been | Read More »
