New York needs the death penalty back for cases like the one we read about today involving a murdered and mutilated eight-year-old boy in Brooklyn. The animal who did this needs to disappear. Innocent people tragically have been put to death because of faulty trials, which gives any death penalty advocate pause, but in a case […]

It is bewildering to contemplate the mindset of California legislators. They make New York officials sound sober by comparison. San Francisco legislators, in Grinch-like fashion, banned “Happy Meals” in restaurants recently and will soon join Santa Monica in voting to prohibit the 6,000 year-old medical procedure and Jewish cultural ceremony, circumcision. There is no religious […]

It would seem wrong for someone of my generation not to note the death today of Brady Bunch and Gilligan’s Island creator Sherwood Schwartz. He was 94. I remember watching the very first Brady Bunch episode with my siblings in September 1969 in our apartment on East 93rd Street in Manhattan.

The Chinese are starting to piss me off. Not the people; The People’s Republic. Today, they publicly lectured U.S. Admiral Mike Mullen, charging that America should spend less on its military for the sake of the taxpayers. First of all, hah!, ha!, ha!, ha! And secondly, screw you. The Chinese didn’t criticize the U.S. military […]

I’m no economist. But I know how I spend. And if that is any measure, it is going to be long time before this economy fully recovers. Decades possibly. There is nothing President Obama or Congress can do to change that. Like so many Americans, I have been burned financially and it has forever altered […]

A small story this weekend in the New York Post spells out New York State’s big problem. City municipal unions are waiting out Mayor Bloomberg’s term to renegotiate their contracts. They would rather wait for a union-friendly Democrat than deal with independent Bloomberg. Some of the unions are without contract now. So how can they […]
