Opinion On “Edward Jay Epstein: The Anthrax Attacks Remain Unsolved”
At a guess, someone made a political decision that the Anthrax love letters for him was the work of an American citizen. The fact is we have had only one wave of anthrax letters, and then the occasional hoaxter. It is as if someone tried it out as a terror weapon, and then decided Anthrax didn't generate enough of a body count to justify the effort. Given the resources needed to weaponize Read More...
Views On “William McGurn: The Pope and the New York Times”
As a celibrate priest I take offense to your blanket assertions. The raqtge of verbal abuse in marriage by current priests are much lowers then in other places and occupations. Marriage is not the answer to abuse, all you have to do is examine other places where it happens. If the press was not so fixated on abuse in the RCC and on the Pope in specific then they might find this out. A pediophile Read More...
A Response To “Stop the Madness”
Democrats will only cut Defense and the Space Program, never mind public assistance to Immigrants is more than their total budgets combined. Enforce existing laws and cut off the illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities from public assistance and you will go a long way toward balancing work and family the budget. As for you folks at the WSJ who insist immigrants only come here to work, those Read More...
Commentary On “Noonan: Out of the Way, Please, Mr. President”
Ms. Peggy, have you had any second thoughts about your Obama love is gone back in '08? Was hating Sarah Palin really worth the disaster that Obama has become?
You helped foist this on us. Own it.
Because of Obama love, many, many people have forfeited the right to have their opinions taken seriously, because they were so spectacularly wrong. You are one of them.
We have to live with the awful Read More...
Thoughts On “Review & Outlook: The Debt”
A simple balanced budget amendment (BBA) will be as successful in its goal as the amendment to enact prohibition. Both seek or sought to regulate complex human behaviors far beyond the provence of government (and face it, government expenditures today reach far beyond the provence of government).
This is not to say that the U.S. Constitution cannot be amended to enforce fiscal responsibility. Read More...
My Analysis On “American Jet Suffered Two”
Craig,
Actually it has been many moons for me too but, no, it behaves much as any other metal, but some symptoms of stress the significant differences in fatigue cracking in Aluminum is due to the pourous nature of it's crystaline structure. But as a metal, it is quite strong and fairly resilient compared to other metals like Steel.
If you ever saw Stress vs Strain diagrams for various metals, Read More...
Opinion On “Obama Backs New Senate Debt Plan”
No BBA, that will just give ammo to those who want to raise taxes. And it will handcuff the government when a real emergency happens. For example, do you think Reagan could have gotten the spending he needed to win the Cold War if he needed a 2/3 majority to borrow money? Also, what happens when Congress and the President can't decide how to decide on a career to balance the budget? Do we Read More...
Commentary On “Current Could Bring Slick Up East Coast”
One solution is to use the WSJ to can't find a job the headlines and then source the news from other outlets. After dropping my WSJ subscription I find that maybe 1 or 2 stories a week are true WSJ breakthrough stories. I just buy the paper if I see one that I want to read. The rest are now just AP stories reprinted. You can go find those stories for free via other news sources. The Read More...
Criticism On “Stray Cat Strut: Woman Beats IRS”
Something just seems out types of cats place here, in terms of tax law and charitable donations.
We presume that the Humane Society is an organization that can officially receive tax deductible, charitable donations.
And if the Cat Lady donated money or goods to the Humane Society, then she could deduct the value of it from her taxes.
But it seems she's not exactly doing that. It seems she's Read More...
Some Thoughts On “The Henry Ford of Heart Surgery”
Hi Anjan------it is wrong how to be happy with yourself compare the inhuman conditions of sweat shops to the airconditioned Operation Theatres at Narayana. We r happy because we are able to do something significant ----- bring about a change in the system and thought process. 10 years ago a farmer in a remote village would never have imagined that he would be able to walk into a hospital Read More...
