My Comments: I promised myself that I would not create any more blog posts about the fiscal cliff. Yesterday, I told you that I really don’t care if we don’t have an agreement before the end of the year. Today, I find myself commenting again since there seems to be nothing else out there that’s …

Cheer Up, Republicans
You’re going to have a moderate Republican president for the next four years: Barack Obama My Comments: I have a memory of the 1952 presidential campaign where I’m leaning out the window of a room in the Pere Marquette Hotel in Peoria, Illinois.
