Every Senate Democrat voted to raise the debt limit to $14.3 trillion. The vote was 60-40 on straight […]
Revolution calling… Got no love for politicians, all that crazy scene in DC, it’s just a power-man town…. I used to trust the media to tell us the truth, tell us the truth. But now I see the payoffs, every where I look… Who do you trust when everyone’s a crook? (read: […]

About 15 years ago, I read the book 7 Men Who Rule The World From The Grave, by Dave Reese. It was one of those books that really stuck with me, but I hadn’t read it since. I finally bought a copy this fall, and read it again this week.

Sort of like this:
Pretend that I’m am the mayor of our city. And, I have told you constantly that I was 100% behind your Rood Construction business. You always donate to help my re-election. Yet, year after year my main concern is replacing current modes of transportation with a monorail system. […]
I really don’t like discussing politics in depth publicly because often people are ridiculed as being hard “left or right”… meaning: political extremists.
