The San Carlos Institute’s directors in Key West have written to President Obama against the president’s Cuba initiative. There is no doubt some substance to the complaint. Barack Obama, however, is a lamer-than-lame duck and will not be on the national scene much longer. Cuban nationals as well as Cuban Americans, like many of our […]
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas from Dick and Debbie and the wonderful Boston Pops Orchestra.
Higher Taxes Are the Answer!
The Cato Institute’s Dan Mitchell explains that if the goal is bigger government and more red ink, than higher taxes are a solution. Dan is America’s foremost scholarly, think tank advocate against big government and pro Federalism leading to innovation, diversity and experimentation. In his “The Best-Ever Argument for Federalism,” Dan writes, “The nation with […]
RIP Joe Cocker
From FoxNews: Joe Cocker, the singer and songwriter whose hits included “You Are So Beautiful” and “Up Where We Belong,” has died of lung cancer, his agent, Barrie Marshall, confirmed to FOX411. Cocker was 70 years old. “Joe Cocker is a legendary artist of rock and blues history and yet he was one of the […]
Cuba Is Not Isolated
Reestablishing diplomatic relations with Cuba is the correct move. Allowing Americans to travel to Cuba and encouraging commerce between the two countries makes a lot of sense. President Obama is generally on the right track with Cuba, but it’s a narrow track. As always, the president misfires when he ventures too far from script. Regarding […]
Obama—Si, Rubio and Jeb Bush—No
The Cato Institute’s Doug Bandow writes, “There are plenty of reasons to criticize President Obama and his cast of liberal but incompetent hawks, However, he’s got Cuba policy right in contrast to Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, and most of the GOP presidential wannabes. It long ago was evident that the embargo had failed and deserved […]
McCain & Graham Misfire on Cuba
The two are quoted here in the National Interest “It is about the appeasement of autocratic dictators, thugs, and adversaries, diminishing America’s influence in the world. Is it any wonder that under President Obama’s watch our enemies are emboldened and our friends demoralized?” Exactly which enemies and friends are the senators referring to? Saudi Arabia and […]
Reagan Best President, Obama Worst
The Cato Institute’s Dan Mitchell recently posted an excellent “Good News on Young People and Gun Control.” Dan ran the numbers from a PBS poll (not exactly a gun crowd) answering the question, “Would you support more restrictions on guns in your state?” An astounding 95.09% of those responding answered no. Previously, Dan ran a […]
A Four Freshmen Christmas
I have been listening to The Four Freshmen since the early fifties, but the group actually began in 1948. The original Four Freshmen that fans remember so well included Ross and Don Barbour, cousin Bob Flanigan, and Ken Albers. The last original member, Flanigan, retired in 1993. Bob owned the name and managed the group […]
Jeb Bush For President?
I guess if you were a fan of the thinking of the former Project For a New American Century, Jeb Bush would be a perfect fit. But count me out. It would be instructive to hear Jeb’s views on his allegiance to PNAC as well as on his brother’s Iraq/Afghanistan strategy and the outcomes. Bloomberg […]
