Quick Political Observations
Excuse the shortness of this, but “real quick”, I want to capture some good articles as the country struggles under the weight of the economy, both domestic and global, and gears up for a heady election.
From recent WSJ and IBD editions
Great article on where the money goes for gas profits

ditto, from Baltimore Sun

Finally, Jobs Sequester – how playing games can bite you
My dear husband will be so happy I finally started creating links to articles I want to review – now we can toss out (recycle) all these newspapers that are lying around….
and one more addition to this from Ben Stein’s paradoxical quote of the day:
“Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured… but not everyone must prove they are a citizen.”
Now add this, “Many of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.”Think about it when you vote in November !
