I've begun the NRA Diet today.
The premise is that if the amount of food you're eating now causes you to gain weight, then you should eat more food to lose weight.
I'm loving it. I have to count my calories and fat grams each day to ensure that I eat more than yesterday. ...

Just out of curiosity, why is "well, that's how it's always been done in the past" considered a fuddy-duddy, Neanderthal position to so many "forward-thinking" folks... until it is used by, say, those supporting (yet another) national debt-ceiling-rise proposal?
To be honest --heck, even to be...

Okay, so we're broke. Not "have to stretch to next payday" broke. Really broke. Our accounts are overdrawn, the credit cards are maxed out and if that's China on the phone, tell them we just stepped out. Yes, again.
We're in an economic hole so deep we're bumping elbows with blind moles. Can...

Last weekend, my oldest son played in a baseball tournament at the somewhat misnamed venue, "Sports at the Beach." A quick internet search revealed that the fields were nearly twenty miles from Rehobeth Beach. Thinking that we wanted to be closer to the games, we decided to stay in...

I have been transfixed and glue to all forms of conversation that is being discussed over these past many weeks regarding the debt ceiling. I believe that this is one of the many times that the base nature of this society has been depicted so clearly and without the ability to be skewed because...

It played like a trite Hollywood movie. The bad guys strapped a bomb to America and set it to explode on August 2nd. They stopped the countdown timer with moments to spare, when we caved in to their demands.
I don’t know what damage will be inflicted on ordinary Americans because some people...

I've been thinking about it steadily since a friend said it a week ago. "I know it sounds far-out, but I think they're blackmailing Obama. I think they took him aside right after the election and said that if he wanted his family to live out his term, he'd better toe the line."
My friend...

The situation on Capitol Hill has become so confusing, we're going to need a nuclear physicist with a googleplex of serially connected molecular microscopes to precisely explain what is happening. Instead, you got me. This whole debt ceiling debate has made rush hour gridlock on the 405 look...

The debt ceiling debacle isn't about debt any more than all the talk about balancing the budget is about the deficit. There is absolutely no ned to be in a crisis. The protracted stalemate has only reached crisis proportions because the president has allowed Congress to be diverted from raising the...

President Obama is making a huge mistake by trying to build consensus between the two parties. This is no time for negotiating nor is this any time to be talking about taking down the national debt.
This talk of making a "deal" with his opposition as a sign of leadership is ridiculous...
