Taylor ArmerdingCurb your anger over BP chairman's 'small people' remarkBy Taylor Armerding I am one of the small people. I will never be president, never the CEO of a multinational corporation, a pro athlete, movie star or rock star. I won't ever have to worry about being subject to a millionaire's tax, let alone a billionaire's tax. And I'm perfectly OK with that. Fame, power or wealth do not automatically guarantee happiness. Some of the most unhappy, dysfunctional people I know are rich and famous.
Obama loyalists too quick to play race card
By Taylor Armerding According to the allegedly smart people who flutter adoringly around the Obama administration, the tea party protests against his policies, besides being populated by hairy-palmed, knuckle-dragging morons, are not really about his policies. They're just a cover for the real "elephant in the room." These people are racists. They've got to be kidding. But they say it with straight faces, even though it has all the credibility of Jim Jones Kool-Aid.
Massachusetts, an example of high cost univeral health careBy Taylor Armerding Obamacare is off the front burner. The president still insists it is going to happen, but he has really moved on. Yet we in Massachusetts can't move on. We've fallen into Romneycare and we can't get up. We have our own universal health care -- a law that was supported by Scott Brown as a Republican state senator before he won Ted Kennedy's U. S. Senate seat by opposing Obamacare.
What the Democrats don't get about Brown's win
By Taylor Armerding Welcome to the Monday-morning quarterbacking forum. Where hindsight is always 20/20. Where everything looks clearer in the rear view mirror. Where success has many fathers and failure is an orphan. Where the blame game becomes a circular firing squad. I'm just excited to be here. "
Kennedy successor: Press 1 for more options
By Taylor Armerding I know elections are supposed to be all about the issues. But I know, and you know, that they aren't. Elections are more about what candidates can do for you, or what they make you believe they can do for you. Which means they are about self-interest and personality. And by that measure, neither Democrat Martha Coakley nor Republican Scott Brown are worthy to fill the U.S. Senate seat occupied, sometimes rather amply, by the late Ted Kennedy.
