As I view our current situation and look at the world we now live in (and are about to give ourselves), I cannot help but think of how prophetic Ayn Rand’s epic tome, Atlas Shrugged, really is.
We were hit today with an audio clip of Barack Obama lamenting the fact that the courts hadn’t done [...]
I spent part of this weekend catching up on the election. In the course of my reading I came to an interesting conclusion: An Obama presidency would be nothing more than a third Bush term. Yes, I’m serious. Please allow me to lay it out for you so you can decide for yourself.

I believe I’ve posted this video before but given David Walker just announced his retirement, I wanted to post it again. If you really want to understand the financial mess we’re in take 9:38 and watch the following video:
