The State of the Union
From an undisclosed location outside of D.C., I will share my thoughts (like anyone actually cares) on the State of the Union speech that is upcoming this evening. For starters, this may be the lamest event of the year. Politicos all week have been in almost near frenzied excitement over this speech. Why? We all know the current State of the [...]

New Cigarette Tax Today
By Adam Bitely Today was the first day that Obama's new tax on smokers took effect. Not only is the singling out of a minority group to pay for the majority wrong, this broke a campaign promise from Obama. It's not like any of us ever expect politicians to keep their promises anyways. Jacob Sullum at Hit & Run had a great write [...]
