Have you been shopping for underwear lately? If you start checking the labels you’ll find it’s hard to find Made In The USA down there. If you try, you might find made in Canada – OK by me – but most of all it’s made in China and that’s not OK … and it’s not OH, SC […]
I purchased online these “WE WELD AMERICA” gloves made by Tillman Co. When they arrived, the fine print on the label said, “MADE IN CHINA”. American products made in China are so ubiquitous that it should be assumed, left unsaid. – Iron Filing
All elections are important but many voters pay scant attention when national offices are not on the ballot. Tomorrow Nov 8 is a good example. City council and school board elections traditionally were non-partisan but in recent decades have become ideological battlegrounds that have tremendous influence on our youth and our future. With less publicity […]
After much anticipation, Friday was my first day at Occupy Boston. First impression – disappointment. Yes, I expected it to be a bit messy but the clash between reality and dream can be harsh.

© Jen Sorensen According to estimates, the world’s population has passed 7 billion people, more or less. Hard to count the squirming mass of humanity with any accuracy. At the rate we are growing, the population will hit 8 billion by 2025, and 9 billion around 2043. World population is growing at around 1.1% per […]
Many conservatives want to lower corporate taxes, claiming that our corporate tax rate is too high. But that’s just the statutory rate, before companies take advantage of various tax breaks. In fact, a new study of 280 corporations in the Fortune 500 shows that the average tax rate they paid was 18.5%, just over half […]
Herman Cain and Rick Perry run into trouble: The host of the speech given by Perry claims the Texas governor was not drinking and that his speech was very well received.
© Ed Stein Commentary by Ed Stein: The Republican candidates for president are suddenly all hot to propose flat taxes. First Herman Cain, the pizza czar, came out with his loopy 999 plan. Now Rick Perry, humbled by his lack of debating skills and challenged to present something more serious than shooting coyotes while jogging, […]
