Obama’s Grasp Of Reality Thin And Slipping »
(Fred Weinberg/The Penny Press) – I’m not like Rush Limbaugh. No matter how much I disagree with a sitting President, I would never wish for his failure in public. In fact, I said on January 20, 2009 and still believe that anybody who watched the inauguration and didn’t have just a little bit of a lump in their throat just doesn’t understand that America truly is the land of unlimited opportunity. But I’m not going [...]
Mexican Gun Running OK, Buying Back American Cell Customers From German Government Not »
(Fred Weinberg/The Penny Press) – Is it possible that the bureaucrats in Washington have completely lost their minds? (A rhetorical question at best.) First, what passes for an Attorney General sics the Department of so-called Justice on AT&T when the company wants to buy T-Mobile. Why? Well, it’s an election year, the whole nation thinks that his President is a joke and these clowns assume that everybody hates cell phone companies, so slapping one around [...]

A Bad Business Plan Doesn’t Make You A Crook »
(Fred Weinberg/The Penny Press) – This is probably going to surprise my regular readers a bit, but I have a hard time getting too worked up over the bankruptcy of Solyndra and the Obama administration’s faux pas in pushing the Department of Energy to grant a half a billion dollar loan guarantee to prop them up. Even with their executives’ cheesy pleading of the fifth before Congress. Now I need to be clear. I don’t [...]
You Know You’re A Socialist When… »
(Fred Weinberg/The Penny Press) – Last week, some very nice people from AT&T came by our Elko offices to enlist our support in the battle they are waging with Federal regulators for approval of their acquisition of T-Mobile. Since I happen to be a veteran of battles at the Federal Communications Commission, I told them that I really didn’t need to hear their pitch because I could not imagine a circumstance under which we would [...]
Why Senator Heller’s Battle Against Net Neutrality Is So Important »
(David Mansdoerfer) – Today, Senator Dean Heller (R – NV) led a coalition of ten U.S. senators calling for FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski to review the impact of net neutrality regulations on the U.S. economic recovery. This letter, which comes after Executive Order 13563 that requires each agency to conduct a cost-benefit analysis on all new regulations, is targeted directly at the recent decision of the FCC to implement Net Neutrality rules in December of [...]
Merging AT&T and T-Mobile in Taxpayers Best Interest »
(David Mansdoerfer) – Recently, AT&T agreed to buy T-Mobile for $39 billion dollars. If this deal goes through, AT&T will then become the nation’s largest wireless carrier – supplanting Verizon for the top dog. To many, this deal represents little more than two large companies coming together to make a giant company. To the U.S. taxpayer, however, this deal has the capability to save them hundreds of millions of dollars. What most taxpayers don’t realize [...]
