Will it hurt?

The beautiful woman said: “I am thankful for my life. I have so much to live for. I have hopes. I have dreams. I want to fall in love someday and get married. I want to be a mother and to raise a family. I have so much love inside of me, I can’t contain it. I humbly believe that I can make the world a better place if only you’ll give me a chance.”

This is the promised land.” Today, the present administration has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of…

Why more people will lose jobs in Obama’s second term

By quinersdiner | November 19, 2012

Obamacare adds a cost of $1.79 per hour per employee for small business owners. If you employ rocket scientists who earn $200,000 per year, it’s not as big a deal as if you employ folks who make pizza for you earning $10 per hour. If the employer chooses not pay for health insurance, they will be fined. But the fine only costs them 98¢ per hour per employee, which makes this approach more economically feasible …

Frank Sinatra vs. Diana Krall. Nelson Riddle vs. Claus Ogerman. Listen to two dramatically different interpretations of Cole Porter’s classic song, “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.” You tell me, which version is the best?

I’ve got more good news for you: it’s time for NewsBusted’s crackerjack reporter, Jodi Miller, to read the news with a conservative twist.

BOOK REVIEW: The Gospel According to Apostle Barack

By quinersdiner | November 16, 2012

By Tom Quiner In my previous post, “The Cult of Obama,” I made reference to a slobbering new book about Barack Obama: “The Gospel According to Apostle Barack.” The writer, college professor Barbara A. Thompson casts the president in messianic light. I went to Amazon.com to see what people have to say about it. Here’s an incisive review by a gentlemen named James Snape that I think Quiner’s Diner readers…

The cult of Obama

By quinersdiner | November 16, 2012

By Tom Quiner Barack Obama transcends rationality. He was the junior senator from Illinois with a mere 2 years of experience when he was elected president. He ran on a platform of hope and change.
