It’s not often that a Manhattan Institute scholar quotes a Drum Major Institute (DMI) report.  But there was Fred Siegel, a longtime contributor to conservative Manhattan Institute’s City Journal, citing material just issued by the ultra-liberal DMI in today’s New York Post. The DMI report warns that the only significant job growth in New York […]

My father-in-law makes an excellent suggestion whenever he hears about a dumb new bill being sponsored in the New York State Legislature.

This little snippet out of the Golden Gate City… It seems San Francisco voters don’t have enough to worry about these days.  Their state is $26 billion in the hole, businesses are fleeing while Governor Brown is raising taxes, parks are being shut down just in time for the summer season, and tens of thousands […]

It’s been quite a PR campaign by the May 21, 2011 doomsdayers. I went to the dentist today, and I hardly know why.  If 8 p.m. EST tomorrow is the end of it, I probably could have used the hour better. I’m just grateful that the Preakness will be held at 4:30. (I like “Dialed In” by […]
