It may seem simplistic, but wouldn’t measuring they buying power of your salary (or what’s left of it) in terms of gallons of fuel per hour make a certain amount of sense? Think about it: it will make the effects of increasing fuel prices something directly relevant to everyone except the minority of people that…
Harrisburg, Illinois was surprised to find out that after a devastating tornado disaster, Øbama’s FEMA would not be providing any monetary aid or relief services to the town. Essentially, FEMA said that the damage wasn’t that bad and that the town and the state could muster up the recovery costs on their own: “Based on our…
Living as I do, in close proximity to the Connecticut border, I get most of my news from Connecticut. Lately, the topic of the blue law restricting the sale of liquor on Sundays has become a hot topic. And in the interests of full disclosure, I could not possibly care less if people can buy…

As reported in U.S. News, Gov. Malloy said that…
