Winter 2016] Lewis, Lewis, Lewis. (Lapham of course.) Reviewing your paltry (smiley here) literary and history journal is like listening to a broken record.

Here is a new op-ed by two people whose intellect and opinions I very highly respect. I have read their book Free Market Revolution twice and I strongly recommend you read this 221-page book... carefully. OP-ED We Should Be Embarrassed by the Sequester Debate If you're concerned about economic growth the cuts are far too … Continue reading We Should Be Embarrassed by the Sequester Debate
At the risk of my meandering blog offending snow people, photogs, and fashionable women, I too "am a conservative foremost, not a Republican." I like this man's writing.
The WSJ Opinion Page has a good article on Obama's SOTU (State Of The Union) proposal to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $9.00 per hour. It has facts (what a novel idea), but as a friend often reminds me, "don't confuse me with the facts". I will try to confuse you anyway.

Feel like a little reading? Proceed. Have you had enough post-election analysis? Here is a noteworthy one referred to me by a friend: Post-Mortem by Laura Hollis Points I thought were especially pertinent: ..."we are now at a place where there are legitimately fewer Americans who desire a free republic with a free people than there are … Continue reading Individual Freedom (and responsibility) or Social Justice Collectivism?
Is this old news now? Has the dust settled? I watched one hr+ of the 2 hours scheduled. I liked it. I liked the candidates (some more than others) and I liked what they said. I think this country has a good number from which to choose their replacement for Barack Obama. That seemed to … Continue reading Republicans’ Debate Mon. 13 June
See Sarah Run. Stop Sarah Stop. Don't Run, Sarah, Don't Run. Some Republicans urge Palin not to run If I have to I will say it a thousand times between now and 2012. We who dearly and seriously do NOT want to see Obama elected for a second term must NOT allow Sarah Palin to … Continue reading Look Look. See Sarah Palin.
