• Obama Homeowner Aid Plan A Bust

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  The Obama administration’s $75 billion program to help homeowners escape foreclosure is a failure and should be scrapped. By unintentional consequences, the government itself under the FDIC sabotages the program. The irony of this is that a private non-profit company exists that has a proven track record helping ...

• You Thought 2009 Was Bad?

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  You thought 2009 was bad? Well, in the aftermath of the mess left behind by the previous administration, it was. And, as we end 2009, unemployment is still unacceptably high. USA Today writes in an editorial today, “2009 will not go down as a great year. Come to think of it, the whole decade has been rather ...

• Stop Whining, My Friends

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  I’ve had it with my liberal or progressive or whatever we call ourselves whiners who feel double-crossed that President Obama reneged on a campaign promise they insist included a public option in the health reform legislation. My recollection is exactly the same as reported in today’s “First Read” posting ...

• Another Grey Morning

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  One of JT’s finest (lyrics below video) … When I feel as though my love is sinking down, sun doesn’t want to shine. And when it feels like she won’t face another day, life is unkind. She’s frozen in time. Here comes another grey morning. A not so good morning, after all. She says, Well, what am I to do ...

• The Fruitcake Chronicles: An Unfortunate Headline (Part 5 of 6 installments)

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  Steve Forester despised his floral patterned, living room glider rocker as well as its accompanying gliding ottoman.  It was a gift from his mother-in-law, but no one sat in the awkward contraption but the family cat.  Even the cat would have preferred a recliner.  Still, the rocker was the first piece of furniture ...

• Why did the crime rate drop so much in 2009?

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  According to the FBI, the national homicide rate dropped 10 percent in 2009. Property crimes also dropped significantly in 2009. Crime, broadly speaking, is now at levels not seen since the early 1960s. No longer is this just a New York City miracle. It’s a national story. Why did that happen? Crime used to be ...

• General Softens Pregnancy Ban

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  Last week I bookmarked a story from MSNBC that reported the Army general of U.S. forces in northern Iraq threatened to court-martial and jail personnel who became pregnant or impregnates another service member, including married couples assigned to the same unit. I was too busy to pursue the story, expecting an ...

• Alabama Gets a New Republican Seat

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  Today, Representative Parker Griffith (AL-05) switched parties from Democrat to Republican (see the Politico:  House Dem blames leaders for party switch ).  This takes the ratio of seats in the state back to 5-2 (Reps to Dems), where it had been for some time prior to the Democrats winning AL02 upon the retirement ...

• The Fruitcake Chronicles: A Terrible Misunderstanding (Part 4 of 6 installments)

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  “So what do you guys think?”  Steve’s loud tone and exaggerated gestures conveyed his lack of faith in his audience’s receptivity.  “Let’s do this thing!  Instead of wasting a bunch of money on a bunch a useless stuff, let’s make this Christmas memorable.  This year. . . let’s make our own ...

• Will Obama Be A Bartlet?

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  Network television is terrible these days, but I don’t care. The awful re-runs of shows that stank to begin with, the endless reality twaddle featuring pathetic individuals debasing themselves for a 15 minute shot of shame, the holiday fare that at best is only fair, at worst gluttonous, and almost always too often ...

• It’s The Public, Not The Process, Fools

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  Sometime between now and the day next year President Barack Obama signs the historic healthcare bill into law — based on the path they are now headed — I want to know how much the private insurance carriers gain in all this. We know they will pick up potentially 31 million new customers. We know some of their ...

• Why Interest Rates Will Rise in 2010

  
  SeekingAlpha.com: Home Page — Authority: 647
  Daryl Montgomery submits: While stocks were rallying, long-term U.S. treasuries were selling off sharply and interest rates climbing on December 21st. The rally was particularly noteable because 10-year bonds were selling down more strongly that 30-years - the opposite of the normal pattern. As part of its ...

  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  “What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can’t make the vote tonight.That’s what they ought to pray.” The person was Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Oklahoma, speaking on the Senate floor Sunday afternoon before this morning’s 60-40 vote cutting off a filibuster on the health reform bill. The quote, ...

  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  As Steve walked toward the kitchen garbage, the fruitcake weighed particularly heavy in his hand and on his conscience.  Unable to resist a gracious gift from a persuasive widow, Steve had been forced to break his first Christmas resolution.  Weeks before he had determined not to allow Christmas to intrude upon his ...

• Auschwitz Sign Recovered

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  Police have recovered the sign stolen from Auschwitz and taken suspects into custody. No word on the motive yet, I hope it is one of greed and not hate, but I suspect I will be wrong.

• Prepare To Welcome The New Immigrants

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 674
  The British have always been a cruel people. You see it in their relations with our own country. They imposed a stamp tax here in colonial times so simple and hard to avoid, it drove American smugglers like John Adams to start a revolution in 1776. The British then burned Washington during the War of 1812, but bugled ...
