3 Hours of Obama Bashing
America seems so impotent internationally these days. Is our nation–and especially the Obama Administration–in need of a giant dose of Viagra to put the spring back in our step? That was one of the opening questions of my three-hour gig on Glenn Beck’s online radio network, the Blaze Radio Network, on Monday of this week, […]
Why Capitalism Will Save Us
“Capitalism hasn’t failed the poor. Government has failed the poor.” That’s one of the better lines in the opening moments of my recent speech, “In Defense of Capitalism,” at TEDxFultonStreet. It was a case of Dennis in the Lion’s Den: You can click here http://bit.ly/1n6kAea to get the full 13 minutes of me onstage, playing […]

Rickards sees any number of threats that could be the trigger for […]
Facebook’s Privacy Flipflop
Facebook has, to fracture an old phrase, just closed the barn door after a billion cows already have departed the premises. The social network’s new pro-privacy policy, adopted yesterday, for the first time delivers the assurance that over a billion Facebook users themselves might already have assumed: that the stuff you post to Facebook will […]
The Fluppin’ FCC
Is he an industry shill or an Obama crackdown artist? We’ve waited six months for Thomas Wheeler to show his true colors as the new chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. He had spent two decades at the lobbying trade groups of the cable-TV business and the wireless industry, so some were hoping for a […]
Break Up AT&T–Again!
AT&T’s bold bid of $49 billion in cash and stock to acquire DirecTV would lash together the two distribution giants to contend with the mammoth media combo of Comcast and Time Warner Cable, but here’s what it really means for AT&T: It is time to stage another massive break-up. AT&T should split itself into two […]
Surfing the Next Wave, Part 2
Steve Case says tech is on the brink of a Third Wave. The first wave took 15 years as millions of people got connected online, enabled by the likes of AOL and Cisco.
