…rge number of hits on “YouTube”. This needs to continue…in spades. Though he is the party Chairman can he be considered the leader? Usually the party leader is the most viable candidate for the presidency. That being the case Mike Steele is out. So let’s see if we can find Waldo in that consensus the honorable Margaret Thatcher was talking about. To start with there is Piyush “Bobby” Jindal, Republican Governor of Louisiana. Jindal was on the fas…

Mike McQueary Joe Paterno is out, but Mike McQueary who actually saw the sexual assault that resulted in the ouster of Penn State’s legendary coach will not be disciplined. Huh? How can that be, you say? There’s a twisted logic to it if you contemplate overall arc of what’s going on behind the scenes between Penn State, its Board of Trustees, and the Pennsylvania Attorney General. Unless you’re in a cave somewhere you know by now tha…

… seemed on the superficial level to offer continuity, it was actually an ideological reversal, back to the Liberal wing of the Republican Party. Though he lambasted his opponent Michael Dukakis, tarring him with the “Liberal” label, which Reaganism had turned into a dirty word, Bush himself was every bit a Progressive. His admitted trouble with “the vision thing” prevented him from continuing with Reagan’s unfinished work: shrinking government, e…

… must be reduced to give people and business more disposable incomes. … the progressive income tax must go. … All residents must be required to pay the tax so they have a stake in limiting its abuse. And finally, Mike Huckabee has his own list of 10 principles: 1. Lower taxes are better than higher taxes. 2. The purpose of government is to protect us, not to provide for us. We should provide for ourselves. 3. The best government i…
