Bush “squandered” and the terrible financial mess President Barack Obama “inherited.” Both arguments ignore a few basic facts. First, presidents don’t control spending, Congress does.

Missouri Prop B: ‘That Dog Don’t Hunt!’
October 6th, 2010 · 28 Comments
“That dog don’t hunt!” Where I grew up in rural northwest Oklahoma, the saying above was used to describe something that wouldn’t work, that shouldn’t be allowed to continue or that defied common sense.

October 4th, 2010 · 1 Comment
During the past 16 months, I’ve written and published some three-dozen posts about or involving Michael Behenna. In December 2009, I published “The Michael Behenna Story,” a 26-page summary written by BMW contributor Carrie Fatigante. Why so much attention given to one man? Because his story needed to be told.

October 2nd, 2010 · 2 Comments
