While I am clearly not very prolific, a piece I read today by Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, of Teaneck, New Jersey, was so clearly articulated that it jolted me from my blogging torpor and forced me to point my voluminous readership his way. His piece, The Decline and Fall of the American Empire, which he wrote [...]
The Wall Street Journal highlighted yesterday that the used car market is incredibly tight right now and prices are unusually high – making this an excellent time to sell your used car (or trade it in on a new car, which is, of course, what our government would consider the patriotic thing to do.)

Ronald Reagan knew what America was supposed to be about, and knew whose fault it was if we failed to reach our potential. How sad that the goals of our current crop of “leaders” have strayed so very far from what they should be. President Reagan – Government is the Problem
I had the distinct pleasure of taking a class from Professor McCloskey at the University of Iowa (Western Civilization, I believe), one of those 200+ student undergrad lecture affairs.
