TIME has come out with an interesting article today on the adjoining Des Moines headquarters of the Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee campaigns. As usual, the reporter gets it completely wrong, yet my prediction is that she will continute to pull a paycheck from a once-prestigious news magazine, possibly with a nice bonus for these [...]

I live less than a mile from Elizabeth and John Edwards. All three of us are currently in Iowa campaigning for presidential candidates– they of course for Edwards, and I for a far superior candidate. While reading the latest issue of The Economist, I noticed Elizabeth Edwards trying to give out some pearls of wisdom [...]

Driving across the country provides you with thinking time about issues that you normally wouldn’t dwell on. One of these involves rest areas. I noticed when I entered Iowa that a “Welcome Center” greeted me that was more of the nature of something you’d find at the site of a Southern plantation than something you’d [...]

The head of [...]

This morning on that fine show Fox and Friends, Ron Paul quoted Sinclair Lewis in reference to Mike Huckabee’s anything-but-subtle “is-it-a-cross-or-is-it-a-window-pane” ad, saying: “It reminds me of what Sinclair Lewis once said.

No wonder Tax Hike Mike Huckabee doesn’t want to get rid of all that bureaucracy in Washington (and in fact, wants to create more).
