the legitimate businessman’s social club

According to the Washington Times:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has directed nearly $100,000 from her political action committee to her husband’s real estate and investment firm over the past decade, a practice of paying a spouse with political donations that she supported banning last year.

Former state Sen. Ford is guilty again

It probably went something like this: A still-buzzed recent college graduate, slowly recovering from a mid-week bender, bored out of his skull on his first job as a “business analyst” at XYZ Consulting, decides to search for “Barck Obama” because the pace of working at the State Department, even with a hangover, would drive […]

Shocking, I know. It seems that the framers of the Constitution actually meant what they said about firearms in the Second Amendment. At least so says the Supreme Court in an opinion handed down today.
I’m not going to attempt to recount, in this space, the reasons why our founding fathers decided it was a good […]

Lady, I’m sorry that you’ve been ensnared in a horrible enterprise designed to exploit everyone involved. Governor Eliot Spitzer, a man of (formerly) immense power and privilege, paid large sums of cash to have sex with you. But let’s get one thing straight…it’s ok to admit that you’ve hit rock bottom.

As soon as it all falls apart and someone smarter (and better) than […]

You could have knocked me over with a feather when I heard that <gasp!> the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) has had 200 employees CAUGHT stealing since its post 9/11 inception. I know…it’s hard to image the government stealing from citizens. And don’t say “it’s people,” not the government. Who do you think does all the […]

As soon as the “mortgage crisis” started bubbling to the top, I smelled a rat. I knew it was possible for completely worthless people who I knew personally to borrow ridiculous amounts of money to buy house. I wouldn’t loan these same people $5.00. Anyway, those of you who don’t understand the mess (and by […]

Kickbacks, softball, steroids, booze-fueled orgies.
“I cannot explain how big an obsession softball had become,” he said. “People were promoted on the spot after a softball game at the drunken party to high positions in the department because they were able to hit a softball out of the park a couple times.”
Just another day at the […]
