Waldhorn Inn in Pineville Nc

When we were in Charlotte we checked for German food and found that one of the 10 best German Restaurants in the country were in a suburb called Pineville.  We went for Brunch and they do real German Food and you get so much for $16.95 that it is a bargain.  I am glad we ate their but I am glad we do not live nearby since I would gain too much weight.  Go and go for Brunch.

Inequality is based on structural changes in family

This election you will hear a lot that inequality is a problem.  It is and much of the problem has little to do with the economy and more to do with the the structure of the family.  This article from the New York Times shows this better than most.   http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/15/us/two-classes-in-america-divided-by-i-do.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all

How Newsroom went from watchable to Liberal Attack machine

HBO’s Newsroom started as an interesting show on what an imaginary news program would be like.  I really liked the pilot.  By the third episode it was unwatchable and yet another line of attacks on conservative politics.  I guess I should have known what was coming but I hoped they would be more informed, more balanced, or just plain more interesting.   Instead, we get the same old trope that the tea party is controlled by the Koch brothers.  Each show is shriller, less interesting, and more liberal.  It got so bad by the third episode that they decided there is no use debating since they know better.  This is what Thomas Sowell calls the liberal vision of the anointed and makes it unwatchable.  I wonder how much of the audience is conservative and when the others will stop watching.  My limit was the third episode.  

Romney's Timing

We keep hearing from the so-called smart people that Romney needs to define himself.  The reality is that his timing has been great so-far.  This election, like most second-term elections, is much more a referendum on the incumbent than about the challenger.

Romney needs to announce his running mate about 2 weeks before the convention.  About one week before the convention he should make a major speech about the themes that he will focus on for the campaign.   His major address at the convention will focus on the themes and the future of the campaign depends on the themes at this point in time, not what is going on in July.  Most undecided people will not look at the campaigns until the elections.  So everyone should take a breath and stop worrying about what Romney is doing right now.
