Former Vice President Dick Cheney and war dogs need to back-off. “What’s going on now—I don’t blame on President Obama,” the Kentucky senator said in an interview yesterday on NBC’s Meet the Press. “Has he really got the solution? Maybe there is no solution,” Mr. Paul said. “But I do blame the Iraq war for […]
The Beautiful Game: Teamwork
The San Antonio Spurs exemplify teamwork. The videos say it all.
Good Morning from Newport, RI
Downtown Newport is buzzing as sailors prepare for today’s Newport to Bermuda race. I walked down to the docks at lunchtime yesterday to check-out the scene. Lots of boats scrambling to get ready for today’s 12:50pm start. As of 5:00am this morning the weather report is calling for light winds out of the northwest. It will […]
My Summer Internship
I know my first job wasn’t an internship. I scooped ice cream at my first job. Working for minimum wage and waiting on the public is an education I’ll never forget. It wasn’t until I was at Babson College that I even considered an internship. The idea of working for free never crossed my mind. […]
“Don’t Do Stupid Stuff”
Wouldn’t we be in a better place if “Don’t Do Stupid Stuff” had been said by President George W. Bush? Not that President Obama has been right on Iraq/Afghanistan. “It’s true that Obama has never lived up to the cautious foreign policy maxim he’s coined: launching a destructive ‘dumb war’ in Libya, doubling down on […]
Win By Not Losing
If you have a dollar and lose $0.25 you’re left with $0.75. You’ve lost 25% of what you had, but to get back to $1.00, you’ll have to generate 33% of what you have now. To get it back you could go to work or you could hope the market helps you out. In real […]

How hard would it be for taxis to come up with their own response to Uber? Apparently pretty hard. L. Gordon Crovitz writes in The WSJ: Maybe going on strike wasn’t the best way for London taxi drivers to protest Uber, the Internet-based car service invading from Silicon Valley. When riders couldn’t get cabs last […]
The Fortunate 500
The GOP establishment got rocked this week when House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost to Tea Party favorite David Brat. Many of the titans in the Fortunate 500 have government in their back pocket. David Brat is right to be against crony capitalism. And this is a problem countrywide as Cato’s David Boaz writes: Around […]
Bike Paths to Nowhere
Here’s another example of a politician calling for fiscal restraint and spending money like crazy. This time it’s Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY). Cato’s Chris Edwards writes: Maloney has recently scored $1 million for airport funding, $1.86 million for hurricane clean-up, $130,000 for arts grants, $6.7 million for bike paths, $3.8 million to fix highways, […]
Hillary Clinton: What A Difference?
You may be disappointed with the title of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s memoir “Hard Choices.” A better one, that I can’t get out of my head, would be a picture of her on the cover and the quote, “What Difference, At This Point, Does It Really Make?” The about sums her up. It’s the […]
