Team BO, the most transparent presidential administration is recent memory, finally releases The One’s long-form birth certificate. Let the newest wave of conspiracy theories about conspiracy theories begin. Frankly, I’ve never understood all the furor and angst over where Obama was born. The guy’s broken the Constitution in so many different and more damagingly profound […]
Hitting taxpayers up for a $55 million funding increase, and then canceling a budget workshop scheduled for this week, apparently passes for compromise these days with the school board.

The bigger government is better government brigade in Minnesota is taking to heart the notion of taxing anything that moves.
