Global Warming: The latest culprit — clean air!
Published on April 14, 2008
Blogger’s Note: According to the European mainstream, global warming is caused by evil Americans driving SUVs. The sole salvation of the world lies in establishing a barter system of carbon dioxide indulgences… and sorting household trash all the way to Tuesday.
But a recent study is pointing at other culprits: Birkenstock-wearing European greens and environmentalists with [...]
The Clinton Alibaba Connection: Flexible positions
Published on April 13, 2008
Blogger’s Note: Day after day, it is becoming more becoming apparent just why the Clintons fought tooth and nail to keep their tax records under lock and key: To keep the vast network of Bubba’s sources of income from the unenlightened and the sceptical. Especially those sources of income that are diametrically opposed to the [...]

by J. Christoph Amberger
Baltimore — (TFN): Say what you may, you certainly cannot accuse Hillary Clinton of inflexibility. Following the Democrat motto of “Do as I say, not as I do,” the Clinton campaign has become a living kamasutra of moral contortionists — a migrant carnival of double-jointed confidence artistes whose spectacular limberness would normally [...]

Hillary Clinton’s Bosnian Adventure: The untold story
Published on April 2, 2008
Blogger’s Note: Hillary Clinton’s excellent Bosnian adventure is almost out of the news already. But Slate.com’s Christopher Hitchens highlights the even less flattering back story to Hillary’s Indiana Jones tall tale of snipers and foreign policy experience. Liberals are already crying foul…

Liberal Tolerance: The apostasy of David Mamet
Published on March 27, 2008
Blogger’s Note: It is becoming popular to be liberal again. The Echo Boom kids — the "participation trophy generation" — are heading into college. And they are likely to vote. Untainted by the realities of having to make a living, running a business, or pondering one’s place in the global market place, they are embracing not just the retro fashions of their late hippie-era parents’ bygone youth, but also the…
Hillary Health Care: A Canadian perspective on socialized medicine
Published on March 20, 2008
Blogger’s Note: As a German expatriate living in the States for the past 20 years, I never fail to be amused by the reverent admiration Americans (especially American liberals) exhibit for everything European — especially social, welfare, and health care systems. When Hillary Clinton tried to ram "Hillary Care" down Americans’ throats for the first time back in the 1990s, I was wondering if she had ever talked to a…

Ignorant Politicians: The cockroaches are scurrying
Published on March 14, 2008
"On Capitol Hill, the economy is not considered the heartbeat that keeps this country alive. No, it is merely another powerful pawn in the political chess game. " – Andrew Snyder
By Andrew Snyder
Baltimore (TFN) – Economists have their hands full. Some say it is the perfect storm of economic calamities: inflation, a falling dollar, a lack of liquidity, and cash-starved mega-corporations. The slightly more optimistic folks of the nation (or the misinformed)…
Campaign 2008: What the candidates’ plans tell about their grasp of economics
Published on March 12, 2008
by J. Christoph Amberger
Baltimore — (TFN): Since my sons became Boy Scouts, being prepared has taken on new meaning for me. Turns out preparedness is as much a function of one’s ability to think ahead, as it is an indication of your ability to identify a problem.
The economic "Jump-start" plans of the Democratic candidates provide a compelling view of how they perceive…

Baltimore — (TFN): In speech after speech, campaign commercial after campaign commercial, Hillary Rodham Clinton pledges to put her "35 years of experience" to work for the American people.
Is this a promise or a threat? I remain uncertain — considering that she kept mum as to just what that experience consists of. Sure, she has…

Baltimore — (TFN): Remember back in 2000, when Texas governor George W. Bush was asked who the leader of Pakistan was? His inability to answer the question provided weeks of Schadenfreude and newspaper ink for the teacher's pets of the media, politics, and entertainment industries.
But just the other day, Hillary "35-years-of-experience-instantly-ready-to-be-commander-in-chief" Clinton was asked who [...]
