In the news

So, join our cheering up club. The headline in the local newspaper reads: “A Dutchman is a happy person”. Well, I’d like to meet him to ask why. No seriously, we do have it pretty good in comparison to many. Yes, we are pretty much shackled to the grindstone of heavy taxation [...]

Intruder

I’m just a fool; I know that now but I must go on anyhow. There are those who might giggle, sneer, pity the one who’s sitting here. It seems so very long ago that we bathed in [...]

The descent

Obama’s going down even further in the estimation of many and it’s his own fault. He who made such a hopeful start has never ceased to disappoint since, except those who are still mesmerized by his charisma or are making a mint from his financial handouts.
Now the “Groveller-in Chief”, as the press is calling him, [...]

Saturday report

I’m sure our local morning paper is mostly a source of cold amusement or boredom to those of a more skeptical turn of mind, like me – those not easily fooled by shoddy propaganda. Its sudoku is also too easy, damn it! Why don’t I take another? Well I did switch to a national paper [...]

Racial tendencies

“The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy.
