Phil Gramm was my number one choice for president way back when he was running against Bob Dole in the Republican primary race. He dropped out shortly after tsomeone (left media) made a bigoted remark about his wife. I dont know if that had anything to do with his decision to leave the rae but I wouldnt blame him if it didwho needs that? Hes been away from politics for awhile but now hes got his toe back in the water as an economic advisor to John McCain. Ive missed him on the political scene; he has an amusing way of explaining serious economic matters.

CEO pay is one of those things few of us understand and too many of us have a hissy over on a regular basis. Mr. Gramm gives justification a shot in the following excerpt from an article in The Wall Street Journal. Go aheadslap a smile on your face and prepare to expand your mind:

Ultimately, it is only the public that holds the power to enforce professional standards, and therefore each of us must accept this responsibility. – James Kerian

Today as I pondered the latest Supreme Court decisions I was acutely aware of the importance of language and communication. I considered the great care taken by our founders to get each and every word, phrase, and punctuation mark exactly right so that the meaning would be clear. They did not run from debate and they did not affix their signatures until all could agree that the document was solid, resolute, defensible, and complete. Our Constitution was written by men with a profound respect for the written word. It has been lauded around the world for its greatness. Still, today, we find that Supreme Court Justices cannot agree on its meaning. I submit that the problem isnt with the Constitution but with the layers of complex, often conflicting laws that confound and frustrate even the most highly educated men. Our laws, lacking in simplicity and clarity, have become unmanageable things, sometimes so complex that we find they contradict each other. It could be said that our laws have failed to serve us to the degree that lawmakers have failed to retain a similar healthy respect for the language.

But it isnt lawmakers alone that participate in this colossal failure.

If you buy into this legislative bologna you deserve to pay through the nose:

“California’s next great experiment starts today. The state Air Resources Board will outline this morning a plan to slash greenhouse gas emissions 30 percent by 2020 and prepare the state for much deeper cuts in the years beyond.”

Thats the bad newsmeddling will bring nothing productive and it will punish the public, including the poor, unmercifully. (The ongoing fires this year will set us back before we start).

“The bottom line for consumers, according to the agency’s analysis: Electricity and fuel prices will rise. But improvements in efficiency should, on average, result in a net savings on household fuel and energy bills will drop.”

Oh yeahsureand theres the lie.

The Arctic seabed is as explosive geologically as it is politically judging by the ”fountains” of gas and molten lava that have been blasting out of underwater volcanoes near the North Pole. ** They returned with images and data showing that red-hot magma has been rising from deep inside the earth and blown the tops off dozens of submarine volcanoes, four kilometres below the ice. ”Jets or fountains of material were probably blasted one, maybe even two, kilometres up into the water,” says geophysicist Robert Sohn of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution… CanWest News Service

Human beings and the “footprints” we leave are so incredibly insignificant…think about it.

Barack Obama has sponsered a global bill in the U.S. Senate to be administrated through the U.N. and funded by U.S. taxpayers to the tune of $8,000,000,000.00

Thank God for The American Thinker, we cant count on the media to warn taxpayers about this. The bill states the following:

“To require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the [U.N.] Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.”
