Two Interesting articles
Posted: Sep 25, 2012
I read two good articles this morning and am posting a little of each here with links to read the whole article if you chose to do so.
TEMERITY AT THE TOP by David Brooks
I guess we’re all supposed to be talking about how to build the middle class these days and look askance at the top 1 percent. But would you mind if I interrupted this cultural moment to point out that capitalism is an inherently elitist enterprise?
Prosperity is often driven by small enclaves of extraordinary individuals that build new industries and amass large fortunes. These driven, manic individuals are frequently unpleasant to be around. But, if your country is not attracting and nurturing them, you’re cooked.
Let’s take a contemporary example, Elon Musk, who was just beautifully profiled by Ashlee Vance in Bloomberg Businessweek.
For those who don’t read the financial press or the gossip blogs, Musk is a 41-year-old entrepreneur who grew up in South Africa. At 15, he migrated to Canada, worked on farms and at a lumber mill and then got into Queen’s University in Ontario.

Some Interesting Articles On Cutting The Budget DeficitNov 28, 2010
All these articles are quite long but are worth reading every word. Remember, nothing is written in stone. All can be tweaked. I found some of the ideas very good, and some 'not so good.' All in all, it's good that there's plenty of input happening and hopefully, our government will READ (if that's possible) them and debate/compromise on them. The first one is from the Brookings Institute which gives quite a few plans from various Senior Fellows: http://www.brookings.e ...

One Of The Most Insightful Articles I've ReadApr 11, 2013
I've heard many people comparing him to Nero. I can see why. Especially with his latest stint of throwing a lavish party when the country (Russia, SK, China and many other countries) are bracing for what NK might be doing. This article pretty much sums it up. It was written in 2011, but still holds true to as if it was written today: Three significant historical events have been eclipsed by Obama: 1) Jimmy Carter will no longer be looked upon as the worst president ...
I'm No Fan Of Ann Coulter But Sometimes Her Articles Make Some Sense Nov 29, 2009
I saw this in our newspaper and had to remark on it. I think she hit the nail on the head with this one. Since her column is copyrighted, I am posting a few paragraphs and you will have to go to the article itself for thes rest of it. I really got a kick out this article. All you Olberman, Maddow, and Matthew fans do not need to read it unless you want to but any bashing will not be answered. I am posting an article, that's all, that I found interesting.
