In case either of my readers was wondering, I have not changed my view on the Republican presidential primary; Mitt Romney is still the inevitable nominee. Even when Rick Santorum has his biggest victories, as was the case last Tuesday, Romney still gains more delegates. The reason that Mitt Romney is the inevitable nominee is...

Research in (downward) Motion
If you are 10,000 feet from the earth, it does not make the likelihood of being splattered all over the ground like an egg any more or less likely. It depends on the direction you’re going in and what is under your feet. If you are in an airplane plane that is taking off, you...
Three Cheers for the Establishment!
In recent weeks Newt Gingrich has surprisingly been able to rally the grass roots of the Republican Party and the tea party movement around his insurgent, anti-establishment campaign. From demolishing a moderator for asking him about his past infidelity to stating that he would strive to build a colony on the moon, Mr. Gingrich showed...
Can We Hurry Up and Get This Race Over With?
I have lost count of all the debates and surprise surges from fringe candidates. It is time to get this Republican Primary over with. It seems almost every candidate in the race except Mitt Romney has had a surprise “surge” at some point in the past six months. If John Huntsman can hang on until...
A Prediction for 2012

Some seemingly intelligent journalists have recently been writing some surprisingly simple-minded columns about how the “do-nothing” Congress and the failure by the bi-partisan debt committee to come up with an agreement to cut the deficit. Commentators on both the left and right have been accusing the other side of failing to compromise; the Republicans refusing...
A Modest Proposal for Europe
As most people know, about 70 years ago Germany tried to take over Europe and in the process killed millions of people and attempted to exterminate several segments of the human population. Because of the immense damage and human suffering caused by this ill-fated endeavor, the notion of Germany seizing control of Europe became a...
It’s All Greek to Me
The world’s population recently reached 7 billion people. Greece has a population of 11 million people. For those of you keeping score at home, that is 0.15% of the world’s population. As I have sat back and watched the international stock markets surge and plummet based on what is going on with the Greek national...

In case you needed any further evidence of the decline in modern of modern civilization, you need look no further than Happy Valley Pennsylvania, where Penn State University students recently staged a passionate, and at times violent, rally in support sexual abuse of children by lecherous old men. There was a time when idealist young...
