Says here that three tickets won the record-setting $640 million Mega Millons lottery jackpot; a lot of loot, to be certain, which would take any near-normal, rational person years to burn through. Know what’s not normal or rational? The Indy Star’s Gary Varvel does and puts the insanity that is our federal government in stark […]
The question started churning in my brain when Tea Party favorite, Utah’s Sen. Mike Lee, tossed his weight behind Mitt Romney. The churning turned into a rumbling with a formal Romney endorsement from George H.W. Bush, along with one from Florida’s Sen. Marc Rubio. And now this: That’s a mighty load of churning and rumbling […]
There was a marvelous moment in Washington, DC, the other day. No, I am not talking about the reports that Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg apparently stayed awake for the entire Obamacare hearing. I’m not even thinking of that oh-so-telling, hot-mic moment for President Obama, when he confided to Russia’s president that after his coronation in November […]
Alternate headline – McCrory: “I Am Not a Sheep” – shamelessly stolen from guerilla blogger Jeff Taylor, who runs down our former mayor’s strange assemblage of a Gov2012 campaign team: Pat McCrory — long regarded as an easy mark by GOP consultants looking to take his money — has hired Fred Davis to helm his TV […]

Obamacare. The nuances and legalities are many, the importance equally huge. To set the stage, Adam Freedman over […]
I mean aside from that Heels/Bobcats squeaker last night. Or that Wolfpack heartbreaker. No, I’m talking here more along the lines of government subsidies, to the tune of $2.7 billion. That’s how much the 13 venues hosting games during the Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament have received in the form of government largess, a.k.a. local, state […]
What happens when police get the bright idea that it’s perfectly acceptable to detain and handcuff reporters, and ignore that pesky little First Amendment thing? This from Chicagoist: Chicago Police detained two reporters outside a hospital where a drive-by shooting victim was being treated Sunday. Apparently at the request of Mt.

It seems the NYC brigade is pulling out all the stops, with the Bloomberg administration “blocking food donations to all government-run facilities that serve the city’s homeless.” Because the mayor is worried about their intake of salt, or something. This from the New York Post: In conjunction with a mayoral task force and the Health […]
Hoke County officials rightfully came under fire last month when it was revealed that a student was forced to eat a school lunch – of chicken nuggets, no less – after a government inspector determined her home-made lunch didn’t meet nutrition standards.
