The Most Interesting Man in the World
Sunday, August 29th, 2010 | Author: dzsokol

Who would have thought that the actor that plays “The Most Interesting Man in the World” on those Dos Equis beer commercials…  is a 72 year old Jewish conservative living in California?

If you’ve seen the commercial, you’ve heard the narrator exclaim: “He once had an awkward moment just to see how it feels. He lives vicariously through himself.”

Well, My buddy, Rudy Rudner, came back with a good one just for this occassion: “He once fathered 9 sons, just so he could have his own minyan.”

Polling America
Friday, August 27th, 2010 | Author: dzsokol

A great article in the Wall Street Journal about “uber-poller” Scott Rasmussen… and interesting approach he takes:

…a significant division among the American public that he has tracked for the past few years—a division between what he calls the Mainstream Public and the Political Class.

To figure out where people are, he asks three questions: Whose judgment do you trust more: that of the American people or America’s political leaders? Has the federal government become its own special interest group? Do government and big business often work together in ways that hurt consumers and investors? Those who identify with the government on two or more questions are defined as the political class.

Thomas Jefferson and Government

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” – Thomas Jefferson

Obamanomics Psychological Overhang
Thursday, August 19th, 2010 | Author: dzsokol

I don’t often cite stories in USA Today, but an article about the economy from Scott Powell hit the mark.  A few extracts:

A record $2 trillion now sits on corporate balance sheets waiting to be invested amid reasonably cheap assets prices. What holds back investment is uncertainty and fear stemming from an overbearing and free-spending government. Businessmen and investors would never attempt spending and borrowing their way back to prosperity. The debt-financed Obama stimulus plan is not only failing to create jobs. It also ratchets up systemic risk, inviting a currency crisis and bond market collapse — from which recovery might be impossible.

The Endless Cycle that Drives the US to Failure

It’s an endless cycle that is driving the country to failure: Elected Democrat officials bestow ludicrous salaries and benefits packages on government employees. In return, the public employee unions ensure that the corrupt Democrats keep getting re-elected.

Little Fire Fighter
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010 | Author: dzsokol

A firefighter was working on the engine outside the Station, when he noticed a little girl nearby in a little red wagon with little ladders hung off the sides and a garden hose tightly coiled in the middle.

The girl was wearing a firefighter’s helmet. The wagon was being pulled by her dog and her cat.

The firefighter walked over to take a closer look. ‘That sure is a nice fire truck,’ the firefighter said with admiration.

‘Thanks,’ the girl replied. The firefighter looked a little closer. The girl had tied the wagon to her dog’s collar and to the cat’s testicles.

‘Little partner,’ the firefighter said, ‘I don’t want to tell you how to run your rig, but if you were to tie that rope around the cat’s collar, I think you could go faster.’

The little girl replied thoughtfully, ‘You’re probably right, but then I wouldn’t have a siren.’
