Investing in Wine, a Noble Endeavor
You, like me, may have long ago learned that investing in wine is both enjoyable and offers a good store of value. Debbie and I focus on France’s Burgundy and Rhone Valley regions. As far as wines from outside these two areas, we focus on the Pinot Noir’s of the Willamette Valley Oregon, so I […]
Republicans Selling Out the Middle Class?
The following story by Pat Buchanan is so grizzly that you may want to cry. These are the only words satisfactory to introduce the disgraceful scenario that unfolds here. At the Cold War’s end, the GOP reached a fork in the road. The determination of Middle Americans to preserve the country they grew up in, […]
Rubbing America’s Face in Ideological BS
In today’s WSJ, Peggy Noonan laments the emotional and tangible distance between Washington and the rest of America, between the federal government and the people.
