I know many of you are gearing up for the Kansas City Tax Day Tea Parties coming up on Wednesday. I hope all of you plan on coming to the Tea Party in Overland Park as Darla Jaye and I will be broadcasting live from 12345 College Blvd (corner of College & Quivira).
Here is the [...]

I’m sure many of you saw this story on Drudge, so I’ll spare you the details and instead fill you in on my initial reaction.
I was pleased to see a story coming out of the White House that wasn’t trying to play on Americans’ fears of a crisis. However, that feeling was shot to hell [...]

We’ve got some exciting plans in the near future. This Friday I will be on-air with Darla Jaye to begin her show, around 6pm. I believe we’ll be talking about the Tax Day Tea Party that is coming up in Overland Park.
Then, on April 15th, I will be joining Darla at 12345 College Boulevard in [...]

“Saving the New York Times now ranks with saving Darfur as a high-minded cause.”
That, my friends, is a direct quote from the Executive Editor of the New York Times, Bill Keller. He was speaking at Stanford University. He also said, “If you’re inclined to trust Google as your source for news — Google yourself.” So [...]

You might recall a post from earlier in the week that discussed Obama’s economic adviser’s response to a question regarding tax increases: “There are no, no tax increases this year.”
Heh. Obviously that statement doesn’t apply to the largest tax increase on tobacco. Remember Obama’s promise not to raise taxes on families making less than $250,000? [...]

TC: I’m totally happy to take Jon Stewart seriously. He’s a smart guy. He’s a very funny guy. I’m happy to take him as someone who influences the national conversation like anyone else: [...]

President Obama’s Economic Adviser, Lawrence Summers, has informed the American public that there are absolutely no new tax increases this year. Silly me, I’m with Conservative Punk on this one: “Oh yes, yes, there are. The President’s budget calls for the largest increase in the death tax in U.S. history in 2010.” Watch Summers spin [...]

As we discussed on the show Saturday night, the House of Representatives passed a bill last week (HR 1586) that will “tax American International Group Inc. executives’ bonuses at a 90-percent rate.”
