		<description><![CDATA[If there was any doubt that the 2012 presidential election would be a class warfare fight, this San Francisco bumper sticker eliminates all doubt. Orchestrated from the top levels, the triangulation of false anger against the wealthy by irrationally tying the rich to bailed-out banks is the cornerstone of Obama’s backward campaign. People who appreciate [...]]]></description>

Overnight the cartels battling in Nuevo Laredo strung-up 23 people from a bridge, which made the morning [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today the Associated Press, an outlet not known for accuracy, echoes a government report about how often the Mexican government asks if a firearm they came from theUnited States. Which, of course, is meaningless. Barack Obama’s failed attempts to ratify gun control treaties such as CIFTA requires presenting a problem. Despite Obama’s staff smuggling guns [...]]]></description>

For readers unfamiliar with strangers to ethics, George Soros is a man for whom money and corruption are merely matters of daily commerce. The philosophy major turned money changer may soon turn to incarcerated felon for an insider trading conviction, which frankly is small stuff compared to [...]]]></description>

In the writing and political punditry trades, folk like me who have published on some area of expertise (in my case, gun control policy) make ourselves available to the media for brief interviews on news programs. Derisively called “rent-a-quotes”, we are more or less available on-demand to sit [...]]]></description>

In ignoring the constitutional imperatives therein, Jon abandoned differentiating between enumerated collective commitments (e.g., having an army) and undocumented personal privilege (e.g., free contraceptives at your bosses [...]]]></description>

This marketing truism sounds trite, but in all examinations of every type of relationship, an absence of trust creates and absence of a relationship. When I amble down to the corner saloon for an end-of-day distilled brain relaxant, I trust the bartender to serve an honest pour, the bar [...]]]></description>

Not Paganini or Merle [...]]]></description>
