By Alan Caruba “I’m beginning to think Obama will be reelected”, writes a friend, a conservative and a Republican who is having grave thoughts about the narrowing GOP field of candidates. He is not alone as I hear similar thoughts from others. As he put it, “Approximately 45% of the people think this idiot is doing a good job.” There is a solid 30% of voters (and those who do not bother to vote) who are hardcore liberals, immune to facts and the reality of the destruction of both the...Read Full Story

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels . All opinions are 100% mine. What would you do if someone offered you 100 hotel rooms free of charge for a weekend? I’ve been trying to imagine how I’d fill the rooms if I had a prize like that! Some people might use it for a family reunion, a wedding weekend, or a class reunion. Perhaps they’d treat members of their church or charitable organization. I’m still thinking about how I might use a prize like that because there...Read Full Story

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels . All opinions are 100% mine. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have an entire hotel all to yourself?

Nope, this is not a typo, you can actually win an entire hotel (100 rooms for 2 nights) for a weekend. Hampton hotels is...Read Full Story

Obama and the Oil Spill Peggy Noonan I don't see how the president's position and popularity can survive the oil spill. This is his third political disaster in his first 18 months in office. And they were all, as they say, unforced errors, meaning they were shaped by the president's political judgment and instincts. There was the tearing and unnecessary war over his health-care proposal and its cost. There was his day-to-day indifference to the views and hopes of the majority of...Read Full Story

I usually appreciate the opinion pieces of Peggy Noonan in The Wall Street Journal and the one this weekend was no exception -- except for her total non-mention of women serving deployments. Here is the letter to the editor that I emailed The Wall Street Journal and which I hope will be printed: Peggy Noonan's June 26-27 Declarations "McChrystal Forces Us to Focus" was an excellent opinion piece except for her failure to include women in her references to active-duty military personnel...Read Full Story

Let’s put to rest, once and for all, the idea--or rather, the  notion (it’s not even an idea,  just a vague impression, based on hearsay)--that the health reform legislation now under discussion includes no plans for containing health care spending.   The reform proposal now being debated in Washington would put a brake on health care inflation. As an eye-opening essay in the most recent (March 4) issue of the New England Journal of Medicine explains, Medicare would, at last...Read Full Story
