The first time I heard of it, it was being called Mackey Sasseritus. Now it’s simply called Mackey Sasser Syndrome. It was named after New York Mets catcher Mackey Sasser, who after many successful years in Major League Baseball, inexplicably began double clutching the baseball before  throwing it to second when a base runner was […]

The Massachusetts House has now joined lawmakers in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Indiana in voting to limit the bargaining powers of public service unions, which have wrenched concessions out of the elected officials they help elect year after year for decades. The reason? The Bay State can no longer afford sweetheart pension giveaways. No state can. The […]

He is setting the conversation — a conversation — whether one likes what he’s saying or not. What’s most interesting about Trump, and I don’t mean this as criticism, is that he’s shameless. That is, […]

http://youtu.be/2N8gJSMoOJc Well this is novel… As of this posting, this video has been seen 1.5 millions times. It is one of many being thrown into the ethers by the National Inflation Association (I first thought it was a Ron Paul video; then I thought it was a gold industry ploy.)
