Do you ever remember bad things that happen to you from ages ago? Sometimes you’ll be going along enjoying your day and all of a sudden something will remind you of a bad memory. It’s usually something you thought you had forgotten, or wish you had forgotten. A traumatic experience or a major embarrassment. Maybe [...]

I’ve heard it asked several times in the past week or so. “What are you going to do with your check?” Of course this is referring to the bribe from the Fed’s, also known as the economic stimulus package. Since it was our money to begin with, I think it’s rather rude [...]

Yesterday while at the grocery store a young woman asked me if I was a Scottsdale resident. Yes, I replied, to which her response was to ask me to sign a petition. Normally I resist such offers unless it’s for an issue I know something about. In this case it was in response to the [...]

Former Senator Fred Thompson has bowed out of the GOP presidential primary. I am thoroughly disappointed but not surprised considering how poorly he did in South Carolina. Why do only a handful of small states get to make a decision that negatively affects the rest of the country? We need to overhaul the primary system! [...]

When the Republican primary comes to Arizona, February 5, I plan to vote for Fred Thompson. Fred Thompson is a consistent conservative, guided by conservative principles. He has not always been in politics, and I like that because there are too many people who make a career out of running for office.
