It seems that the huge loss in South Carolina is affecting the Clinton campaign. First, they took great pains to point out that Jesse Jackson won the primary twice in an attempt to smear Obama to white voters by comparing him to Jackson. Then, Clinton flew to Florida, breaking her own promise not to campaign there.

Kevin over at Exurban League posted a link to an opinion piece wondering if the Right was right on the Clintons. While his reason for posting the column is different than mine, I had to laugh at the coincidence. See, I posted this on an online forum just yesterday.
The crap that the Clinton [...]

In what must be the quickest agreement in the history of Congress, Democrats and Republicans agreed on a stimulus plan. It includes business and personal tax incentives.
That scream you hear? It’s state tax departments all over the country. The business stimulus includes bonus depreciation, similar to what was done after 9.11. The problem is that [...]

Then I heard that the European markets dropped 7-8% yesterday (I was [...]

You know the joke about the difference between an audit and a colonoscopy? Well, Google apparently didn’t hear it. This post on Roth and Co. cracked me up (not the least because Des Moines is nowhere near Ottumwa).

Like I’ve said before, I want to like Mike Huckabee, I really do. He’s a personable guy who has a sense of humor about himself, which is sorely lacking politics. Most of his religious social views mix with mine, as far as helping those that need it. While he’s against gay marriage, I don’t exactly [...]
