AEG#18: Embracing the 3rd Rail

Believe it or not, there are people who lay awake in night in fear that I will, one day, attain political office. Now, never mind the fact that being a politician is one of the last careers that I'd ever want. Forget the fact that if I were ever elected I would--as William F. Buckley Jr. once said--"demand a recount". Even with those facts in mind, there are still people who know me that are scared to death that somehow, someday, somewhere, I might accidentally be elected Dogcatcher.

Those people are rejoicing today...because in this edition of "America's Evil Genius" I take the one position that--while I believe in it 100% and stand behind it--will nevertheless guarantee that I can never--under any circumstances--be elected to any political office in this nation.

I take the position that Medicare, Social Security, and other such "Entitlement" programs must be phased out.

It's the one position that everybody who is serious about reducing the debt and addressing our financial insolvency has always had in the back of their mind--but few had the guts to come out and openly advocate for it. I'm the one guy who has the guts to come out and say it. Let the arrows fly in my direction...

AEG#15: Gingrich drops out of 2012 race!

The newest episode of "America's Evil Genius" has hit the internet, and we have a bombshell today...Newt Gingrich has dropped out of the 2012 Presidential race!!!

...of course, Newt doesn't exactly *know* that he's dropped out yet...

In this episode, I analyze Newt's withdrawal from the race (a withdrawal that's obvious to everyone but Newt himself at this point). I also declare Gingrich's political career to be dead, and give it a fitting (not to mention heart-felt and tear-jerking) eulogy. This one will bring a tear to a glass eye...
