I’m happy! While many investors, media members and politicians lament the defeat of the proposed $700 billion rescue plan, I celebrate this resounding defeat of socialism. Call me naive, but I believe that as a people and as a country we will be just fine. The United States has always responded well to adversity. I …

Redskins 26 Cowboys 24
I first played organized football as a 7th grader at Atlanta Junior High School in the early 90′s. We were a rag-tag bunch of football players with a ton of talent but little knowledge of the nuances of the game. Even so, our coaches stressed to us the importance of two basic principles–runing the ball …

Sometimes no hand can be a real "cool" hand…
Today, whatever you do, be sure to take a few minutes and say a good thought for Paul Newman, who passed at the age of 83. While Newman will be remembered for a ton of movies and his philanthropy, Newman will always be Cool Hand Luke to me. In a movie filled with memorable lines and …

Oxford, Mississippi Presidential Debate
I like getting political analysis from a variety of sources. Every media outlet slants one way or the other, an unbiased media does not exist. Therefore, it is imperative to flip around to get the full story. Personally, I felt John McCain won tonight’s debate and exposed Barack Obama as a one trick pony. Sure, …

The President who cried wolf…
We’re all familiar with the story of the boy who cried wolf, after seeing the Bush administration’s presentation of the $700 billion dollar bailout, I’m convinced that George W. Bush is the President who cried wolf. Leading up to our invasion of Iraq, the Bush administration sent out every one of their minions to convince …

What's the matter in Somalia?
When the country Somalia is brought up in casual conversation, it is usually in the context of our short lived military jaunt there in 1990′s. However, over the past two years, Somalia has crept back into cocktail chatter all over the nation. In 2006, I published Islami Fascists I and Islami Fascists II on my blog. …

An Epilogue to "Don't Do That!"
After having a couple of days to think about what I wrote in “Don’t Do That,” I decided I needed to tie up some loose ends and wrap up some unfinished thoughts. I promise, this will be one of my last posts on the economy for a while. Our current problem is the result of …

Eco-terrorism in Texas?
Someone once said, “anyone in their 20′s who is not a liberal has not heart; anyone over the age of 30 who is not a conservative has no brain.” If you need any further proof to the last part of this maxim, look no further than James Andrew Jeppe. In addition to vandalizing the cars …

Don't do that!
Allow me to preface this post with the following: I’m no economic genius. Finance bores me to no end. In college, I avoided classes in economics and business on purpose. I love debating politics, especially foreign policy, con. law, and social issues, but I often shy from debating finances. I simply describe myself as “social liberal” …

On Turning 30…
As many of you probably know, I celebrated my 30th birthday on Tuesday. Actually, the celebrations began Monday night as the Cowboys throttled the Eagles 41-37 in the last Monday night game ever to be played at Texas Stadium. Opportunity presents itself for me to quote “My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys,” and tie in …
