Can Investors Afford to Ignore Politics?
I am a fiscal conservative and a social liberal. The reality is no party matches all of my views. The Libertarian party comes close, but not 100%.

Preparing for an Obama Presidency
I think it is a given, Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the United States of America. Let’s just hope he is not the last.

The VEEP Stakes
Obama bunts with his selection of Biden.
McCain has hit a stunning homerun with the selection of Palin.
All of a sudden the race became interesting.
The Obama camp can’t attack her lack of governing experience because even though she has been governer of Alaska for less than two years, she still has more governing experience than Obama. [...]
This is a GREAT Idea! More Schools Need to do This
Guns in schools?
Absolutely! This is an excellent idea.
Superintendent David Thweatt said the small community is a 30-minute drive from the sheriff’s office, leaving students and teachers without protection. He said the district’s lone campus sits 500 feet from heavily trafficked U.S. 287, which could make it a target.
“When the federal government started making schools gun-free [...]
