Take a gun to jail… stay there.
// Mar 7th, 2010
Which one doesn't belong in jail? This...?
... Or this?
My nomination for stupidest bad-guy of 2010 comes from this story in the Enquirer.
The story goes like this:
Bad guy takes a loaded gun to jail. That’s right, the county slammer. Showing up with a gun at the jailhouse is like carrying a pound of pot...
The Empowerment Zone stands for EZ money? That’s not news
// Feb 24th, 2010
Lots of readers probably saw that Sunday story in the Enquirer about $25 million wasted by the Cincinnati Empowerment Zone and thought: “Here we go again. Yet another textbook case of government malpractice.”
But really, it’s worse than that. It’s also a textbook case of race hustling, politically...

Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland must be sweating .50-cal. bullets.

Coming soon to a political theater near you
// Jan 8th, 2010
They say that life sometimes imitates art. If so, life in 2010 could look like bad movies and lame remakes of good ones.
"Whaddya mean I get 30 seconds to discuss 2,000 pages of boondoggle Obamacare?"

The most permanent temporary tax in history will only get worse
// Jan 6th, 2010
When it was created, the federal income tax was supposed to be temporary. But it became about as temporary as the common cold virus.
Each winter, it comes back, causing headaches, watery eyes, choking and that old drained-out feeling. We are forced to spend a fortune on remedies that only treat the symptoms.

‘Up in the Air’ never got off the runway

George Clooney playing George Clooney -- as usual
