Haiti is in ruins after a devastating Earthquake that affected 3 million people in the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Estimates of deaths are as high or exceeding 100,000 people. In the wake of such a tragedy, Rush Limbaugh decided to tell viewers not to donate money. Does this seem like the type of person you should be taking advice from?
I recently had a feud with the Florida Whig Party (thankfully no longer a part of the MWP) where their candidate Paul McKain thought Rush wasn’t a bad guy. You can read his comments here.

For anyone interested in helping those who are less fortunate then ourselves, you can text “Haiti” to 90999 to make a $10 donation to the Red Cross . More info on this service here.

Gatherings have already taken place in numerous places such as Missouri, New York and Texas, as well as substantial online venues. Deployed service members also have quietly organized meetings. In fact, our next mass meeting is set to take place in Washington, DC.
Bailout cop might be wrong approach to improving investor confidence
Neil Barofsky is being nicknamed the “bailout cop“. His job is to oversee the $700 billion in TARP funds being used to prop up failing companies. I can understand some regulation of TARP funds as we have already seen some instances of abuse such as AIG throwing lavish parties immediately after receiving TARP funds. So [...]
Credit Card Reform: Helping the lazy stay lazy
I have been following the credit card reform being championed by President Obama. Then I read this article at The Whig blog about the silence of Vice President Biden. In my opinion, I think the Vice President is dead on opposing this legislation. I’ll do my best to keep this more politically based rather than being a rant.
