I'm going to make a crazy statement, but that's what I generally do when I have free time:Coinstar (makers of coin-counting kiosks you might find in your grocery store) has done more to stimulate the economy than Obama, Pelosi, and Reid could ever do.More than anything, economies grow on the movement of money. This is often referred to as "Velocity of Money" or the average frequency with which a

I've been talking about politics too much recently... and I need to expand out into things I care about just as much. Yesterday, I sat and looked through my old copy of Les Miserables and noticing some things I underlined when I plowed through the book a few years ago.This piece on success really caught my eye:In passing, we might say that success is a hideous thing. Its false similarity to

Ok... so I've come to an interesting conclusion:On a net basis, Barack Obama was the best choice for President of the United States.Don't get me wrong here, kids. I don't agree with almost anything that Barack Obama believes. I'm a conservative that tends to vote Republican, because Mitt Romney quoted Reagan's classic line that "It's not that liberals are ignorant... it's just that everything

As I watch the political landscape, I noticed an article from the Washington Post titled "Obama Team Shifts to Transition Mode". But, the most interesting thing about this article wasn't what the Obama team is doing, but what the BUSH team is doing.Now, remember that in January of 2001, the departing Clinton administration TRASHED the White House offices. I have heard first hand accounts (that

A lot of people have been asking me what I think about the election yesterday, thinking I'm deeply saddened. They seem to think that I'm some football-fan Republican who hates the very idea of Barack Obama. That is NOT true. But, I do have some thoughts on the matter.My first reaction was: "yep... just as I suspected." The numbers have been pushing Obama for weeks. A friend who thinks John

Sigh.This election is driving me nuts.  I spent most of the primary season pulling for a candidate I thought was actually qualified for the job.  And, now I spend the general election season nonplussed by one candidate and really spooked out by the other.I can't get excited about John McCain.  I think, in the end, I will vote for him... but I'm waiting with bated breath to see whom he chooses as

Horatio's Land of Joy has been somewhat slow for the recent past... and I finally found something worth ranting about today.

Well... Super-Duper-Tsunami-Fat Tuesday just passed like a steamroller in a rubber-band factory, and the general consensus is that nobody won. But, one thing is becoming much more clear: Mitt Romney is not likely to win.That's very sad, because I still think he is (by far) the best candidate in the race. I mean, nobody else combines conservative values with executive experience and a gigantic

Well... here are my thoughts on the Republican Primary. Mitt Romney has never acquiesced to apparent defeat—and he shows no signs of quitting in this election.  The media already wrote an obituary, but Mitt's supporters have many reasons to be optimistic. The campaign released a strategy memo today by Alex Gage.  He outlines a very important weakness in McCain's situation: he still does not

Wow... isn't this FUN??? Actually, this primary has been just super interesting! And, it has had the other effect of entirely turning me off of political ambitions. But, more on that later.I dedicated 3 weeks straight to supporting Mitt Romney in Iowa and New Hampshire. And, I decided that I must be the bad egg, so I stayed home for Michigan. Turns out, I might have been right. In the

Well, everybody does seem to love Huckabee these days. After watching tonight's Republican debate on CNN, I can certainly see why. I'll admit, he's articulate and funny. And, according to recent polling, he actually threats Romney's dominance in Iowa.But, to all zero Iowa voters that I expect to read this blog post, I want to say something:A Vote for Huckabee on January 3rd is actually a vote
