The Conservative Political Action Conference in DC wrapped up today. I tromped down there Friday and got a few photos. There were heaps of books on Sarah Palin and several organizations touting her political future. Joe the Plumber was there, along with lots of people who retain faith in all the nation’s recent wars and […]

Epigrams from Feeling Your Pain (2000)
The following lines are from Feeling Your Pain: The Explosion and Abuse of Government Power in the Clinton-Gore Years (St. Martin’s/Palgrave, 2000): Those who forget past boondoggles will be perpetually taxed for new boondoggles.

Once the feds started bankrolling the banks and other financial institutions, it was only a question of time until politicians claimed the right to control what they subsidize. It would have been […]
