Thomas Sowell, PhD - Minimum Wage Madness
Minimum Wage Madness - Part I
Minimum Wage Madness - Part II
So how many people really think it is wise to pay inexperienced, unskilled workers more than their productivity is worth?
If you got 2 bids for the cost of a project around your house, how many would simply pay the highest bidder, for no other reason than because the contractor needs to make more money?

Gun Control - Let the debate begin anew
Funny how every time there is a shooting in the news, liberals and many others seek out the cameras and microphones to declare anew a need for gun control. Keep in mind that yesterday's shooter was stopped from killing even more people by men with guns.
Interesting notes about recent mass shootings:
The Aurora Colorado theater shooter passed up 2 movie theaters that did NOT have no guns allowed signs, to get to the theater with the no guns allowed sign.
The Connecticut school shooter picked a school to shoot up, and schools do not allow guns on premises.
The Ft. Hood shooter shot up a military base, and the Navy Yard shooter shot up another military installation. The US Military does not permit soldiers and sailors to carry firearms on bases.
Why is it that mass shooters pick place to shoot and kill that are unlikely to have any victims who might shoot back at them?

Cal Thomas: We've been played
Cal Thomas: We've been played
The money quote from this article:
In his nationally televised address Tuesday night, President Obama said little that was not already known. By my count he used the words "I," "me" and "my" 30 times in his 15-minute address. He personalizes everything, but delivers little, except uncertainty in his foreign policy. The world is becoming increasingly dangerous because we have a president who either does not know how to lead, or doesn't want to lead in foreign affairs.

Obama's Syria Problem
August has been a very busy month for me personally and professionally. I wanted to write a few more blog entries but simply did not have time.
President Obama is drumming for war in Syria. Of course he won't use the term 'war'. But his plans for military action in response to the use of chemical weapons is problematic at best, and dangerous at worst. :Let's consider the following:
1. Claiming to want to hamper Al Asaad's chemical weapons capability, Obama claims there will be no boots on the ground. This is a reference to no need for an invasion force such as in Iraq. However, the advance notice he gave to Al Asaad have provided the Syrians ample time to relocate the stockpile, move human shields into harm's way, and take other evasive measures.
2. Secretary of State John Kerry has informed the Syrians it would be a "very small" military action. Whoa now. That has some scary consequences implied, no?
3. Members of both the administration and the Pentagon have leaked specific target details. When was the last time a military was successful in telling the enemy which targets they were working against?
4. Politically speaking, this action is problematic for Obama at home. The citizens are not interested in another military action. They've seen long, protracted military actions which end up being very costly, both in human terms and and financial.
5. After having his Secretary of State called a liar by Russian President Putin, Obama goes to Russia for already planned meetings, and poses for photos with Putin, shaking his hand and smiling. There's supporting the chain of command for you.
