    Who is really to blame for the deficits?

    Interesting assessment in this story from The Atlantic Magazine. Plenty these days ripping Obama for what he has done to the debt and why NOW republicans scream about how we have to worry about the debt ceiling - this shows a different picture...

I hope all MadJackers have some fun and relaxation this weekend - I'll be at the lake with no computer access and no phone calls.

    Thoughts and Prayers - SW MO...

    Just watched the first overhead video from the Joplin tornado - absolute devastation, I'm speechless. I grew up close to that area and know the drill all too well. Have friends in Joplin, still don't know if they are alright. Just sickening to look at the pictures and videos. God be with...

    Hey, Big Spender! What Mitch Daniels Did to Indiana.

    It's sounding more and more that republicans are looking to Mitch Daniels to be the nominee in the next Presidential election. I'd be curious to hear what locals think about Daniels (truly, not making a jab here). Kind of an interesting article that both could cause a problem and rally the...

    Army Interrogators on Torture - Why It Doesn't Work.

    Came across this article today, found it an informative read by someone in the profession that teaches others about interrogation techniques and practices. I know it's not an imbedded YouTube link, and will be avoided by some. For those that want to "think" about something, it's a good read... -...

    Profiting From Secrecy: Corporate America's War on Political Transparency

    I cannot commend Obama enough for this stance and I hope he follows through with this. I think this is extremely important for our political process, and as a taxpayer I think it's something Obama should be praised for. IMO the organized opposition to this is laughable and reprehensible. Perhaps...

    Help with idea for school presentation

    I'm doing a relatively short microteaching presentation next week, and I want to jazz it up a little with a couple video shorts to use as examples of the self-disclosure concept.

    I think I have a Man-Crush on Russ Feingold

    Perhaps some way we could create a powerful third party ticket of something like Ron Paul and Feingold (or vice-versa)? Can you imagine how difficult arguing with these two principled men could be? How about the current crop of possible candidates? Can you imagine a former conservative coming...

    G.E.?s Strategies Let It Avoid Taxes Altogether

    I think this is a very revealing article in thinking about conservatives claims about the high tax burden on big business in this country, job creation, etc. I hear commentary all the time about how tough it is for corporations to compete, and how helping them here will allow them to hire...
