The Supreme Court Decision: It hurts to be wrong — but it hurts more to be right and still wrong!
July 2, 2012
Now that we have all heard the decision by the Supreme Court on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), perhaps it is time for some reflection. I know as I read the decision Thursday morning, while I was waiting in the queue preparing for a radio interview on the issue, I felt both vindicated in my initial analysis, but also left wanting and inadequate for not seeing the sideways tax justification for its declared constitutionality. . .

Obamacare Supreme Court Ruling Likely Tomorrow: What will it mean to me?
June 27, 2012
If the discussion around water-coolers across the nation, or if the intensity of the discussion I have been having at meetings, discussions, or speeches I have given lately is any indication; then regardless of the decision from the Supreme Court tomorrow on the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare if you prefer, the nation will once again find itself in a vitriolic and unnecessary national argument.. . .

What is Wrong with Politics
March 29, 2012
People that know me well know that I read. I read a lot. I read incessantly, I read everything . . . Recently, I have seen a series of articles, from both sides, trying to answer the question of what is wrong with our political system . . .
