in libertarian fashion.

Was Joe Biden Writing You an E-Mail During the State of the Union?
It kind of looked like Vice President Joe Biden
may have been texting during the State of the Union* (picture at
right). Maybe** he was writing this, which came from the Democratic
Party just as few moments after the address ended:
Edward —
I am so proud to stand with Barack tonight.
If you are too, chip in $10 or more to support Democrats, and let’s
go follow through:Thanks,
Joe
If it sounded like the State of the Union was a campaign speech,
that’s because it sounded like a campaign speech. And now they’re
raising money as if they were still campaigning.
*he was probably following along with the printed copy of the
address, but it makes for a good set up
**the e-mail was probably pre-written, by someone other than
Biden, but, again, it makes for a good set up so thanks for bearing
with me

NY Gov. Cuomo: Conservatives, get out
Everyone “knows” it is conservatives who are mean-spirited, intolerant, censors of speech with which they don’t agree, anti-gay, anti-black and anti just about everything else, right? We know this because the left keeps telling us so.
Which is why in this era of increasingly corrosive language — note the overuse of the f-word in the film “The Wolf of Wall Street” — and acidic political discourse, recent comments by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.), ought to shock and outrage everyone, regardless of party affiliation or ideology.

Fact-free liberals, Part 3: The war on poverty
Since this year will mark the 50th anniversary of the “war on poverty,” we can expect many comments and commemorations of this landmark legislation in the development of the American welfare state.
The actual signing of the “war on poverty” legislation took place in August 1964, so the 50th anniversary is some months away. But there have already been statements in the media and in politics proclaiming that this vast and costly array of anti-poverty programs “worked.”

Beautiful in wisdom
She was not a pretty woman in the days of her youth. Her lips were too thin, her forehead too high and her eyes so round that they seemed to bulge into the lens of the glasses she wore.
But the lack of youthful beauty is a gift in old age for a woman becomes just an old woman, not a faded beauty who has the sympathy of those who knew her when and can say, “You should have known her then. Beautiful she was back in the day.”

Jones: It is ‘evil’ to oppose diversity
I write this letter in response to a recent article asking the question, “Are diversity and inclusion important?”
Honestly, the answer really depends on which side of the color line you are on. So being a Colored, Negro, Black, African American, my answer has to be a resounding YES! Why?

PTC pay raise: It’s all in how it’s done
I have a different take on the City Council’s pay raise idea, versus the letter to the editor last week.
To start with, perhaps councilmen King and Imker need to read the fine print more closely, as to exactly what an elected position pays, before they choose to run for said position.
You both stress that you don’t need the money, and the current pay is hardly worth your time. Who forced you to run?
