A Chicagoland bank is running a radio commercial during Cubs broadcasts asking "What's your definition of Financial Security", with different people in the spot responding with things such as "my son's college education paid for" or "enough money to retire comfortably." My definition? $5 million in the bank and Larry Kudlow in the White House. Read the analysis below from his post at National

Tip of the hat to Michael Berry of KTRH in Houston, TX. Berry on occasion fills in for Mark Levin and I heard this soundbite above on his show recently.You can't really blame Obama for his absolute ignorance of the basics of how wealth is grown in Free Market Economies. He's spent his entire life surrounding himself with losers and people who live in the most opportune country on the face of

I purposely lay off environmentalism somewhat because its one of the topics I'm not 100% versed in. Lets say, however, that it should come as no surprise that I am DEEPLY skeptical of a lot of the hysteria that comes from environmentalism, and their unwillingness to listen to any dissent from their religion, shutting down debate in an almost Stalinist fashion.And you can imagine when, courtesy

Comrades! Great and Glorious Leader is now enshrined around City Hall with a NEW BANNER! Two weeks after the inauguration, Viceroy Daley has gotten around to swapping out one knob-slobbering image around City Hall for another one! Isn't it great, my fellow laborers in the new order, to know that our elected President is being enshrined like Che Guevara or Josef Stalin on our public buildings?

Now Islamistmilitants are in control of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal, and by late winter of2010, Iran has detonated its first nuclear

I’ve long discussed on these pages making time to do a send off of President George W. Bush. I’ve been so busy with other things I’ve kinda fallen away from focusing on JG&AH. I figured I’d take a few minutes this evening to give him the send off that he deserves, parroting a lot of good things I’m reading over at National Review Online.I’m really disappointed in a lot of the decisions GWB made

Folks, for the longest time on these pages, I've referred - rightfully - to the American Mainstream Media (MSM) as the "Useful Idiots". This was mostly due to the fact that they seemed to be perfectly content with being complete tools of Islamofascists, so long as damage was done to the sitting Republican President. Well, now a Change (to coin a term) is taking place. When you hit the sack

We need to go back to Reagan Republicanism - Conservatism 1.0. There's nothing wrong with the original version. Our problem is that we are trying to replace Conservatism 1.0 with the political

I've heard many good things about the band 3 Doors Down - they've done much charity work on behalf of the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and, at the risk of sounding biased, they are the epitome of Southern Class. That is, they are men who see themselves as proud Americans (check out their live album Another 700 Miles, when they introduce the song "Love Me When I'm Gone") and, rather than act as
