| 11/8/2008 4:57:34 AM |
 This is why Barack Obama’s ideas about building the economy from the bottom up will not work. It comes from William J.H. Boetcker, a minister and outspoken advocate for liberty in 1916. He published a pamphlet entitled “The 10 Cannots:” “You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the poor man...

Obama is One of the Extra Stupid Celebrities or a Professional Liar |
| 11/3/2008 4:57:42 AM |
  Sorry, back to politics the day before the “big day”but Barack Obama still ranks as just another one of the multitude of stupid celebrities. It has now surfaced that the half-aunt, Zeituni Onyango, 56, who lives in Boston, is here illegally. She was ordered to leave the country in 2004. It is also amazing that Obama’s half-aunt was able to get into government subsidized... Read More |

The Politics of Cigars Don't Box Me in! |
| 11/2/2008 11:38:19 AM |
 Cigars have long been a part of the iconography of American politics. On the negative side, early-twentieth-century newspaper cartoons symbolized the greed of villainous "party bosses" and robber barons by showing fat men lighting their stogies with one-hundred dollar bills. On a more positive note, cigar boxes were also used to advertise for various campaigns -... Read More |

Retro-Smoke Cigar: Oliva Master Blends 2 Churchill |
| 10/26/2008 9:02:55 AM |
 Earlier this week I alluded to the cigar I'm writing about today: The Oliva Master Blends 2 Churchill. I've had this cigar in my humidor for about three years, and must admit that I was a bit sad at the thought of lighting it up, since it was not only my last, but maybe one of the last of these cigars on earth. Since Oliva only made these in limited edition, they've become... Read More |

I Didn't Know..I Didn't Listen..I Didn't Read...Obama Voted in Now! |
| 10/21/2008 10:03:37 AM |
 
By human nature people are very trusting. Sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes being skeptical is a good thing. I would divide supporters of Barrack Obama to be very trusting and non-supporters of Obama to be skeptical.
I myself am on the skeptical side. There have been quite a few times in my life, and I am sure yours also, that I have been burnt very badly for... Read More |

 Ready for a little cigar history today? Perhaps a better way to phrase it would be "no cigar" history.
