August 3, 1999 - Drunken Sailors
President Reagan used to say that Congress spent money like drunken sailors. But he would always apologize to drunken sailors because at least they spent their own money. Well, there Congress goes again. They're spending over $100 billion on 198 programs that Congress itself did not authorize.

July 9, 1999 - Something Special
We hear a little too often that we in the United States should change some policy simply because other countries do things another way. The implication is somehow that if most countries do things differently, we in the U.S. must be behind the times. I'm reminded of my Mother's oft-repeated admonition, "If everybody else jumps off a cliff, are you going to?"

July 8, 1999 - Musical Chairs
Washington politicians often act like children and they're doing it again when it comes to term limits for committee chairmen. Like spoiled brats they're refusing to share power.

Social Security and Political Risk
Social Security is called the third rail of politics because when a program sends checks to millions, a congressman who talks about changing it puts himself at risk of being politically electrocuted. If you want a career in Washington, who needs risk?

Courage
When a soldier leaves his foxhole, crawls through enemy gunfire and drags a wounded buddy to safety, I call that courage. When Rosa Parks faced jail rather than give up her seat and move to the back of the bus, that took courage, too.
