The only commodity that might be worth less than the US dollar by year’s end is a Panthers PSL, given the team’s brutal schedule for the upcoming season. The potential for true ugliness starts with a home-opener against Green Bay, followed by a stretch versus a string of playoff teams from last year (Chicago, New […]
Glad to see the United Nations has its priorities straight, or I’d be worried about various diplomats wasting time on trivial matters like war, famine, genocide, and terrorism. Nope, instead the UN’s braintrust spent a whole day debating whether Mother Earth deserves human rights status. This from Fox News: A bloc of mostly socialist governments […]
Politically speaking they’re located somewhere just south of the Desert of Deceit and slightly east of Arrogant Isles, which would put them squarely over the NC Governor’s Mansion. As tornadoes and deadly storms ripped through North Carolina, Gov Bev was caught out-of-state attending to a “family obligation,” which obviously is the same thing as partying […]
If you think it’s just one school in Chicago that has gone completely nanny-state certifiable, think again – and say hello to House Bill 840, co-sponsored in part by Mecklenburg’s very own Becky Carney and Tricia Cotham. The bill’s shorthand title is the “Healthier and Greener Schools Act,” which should give a hint where it’s […]
How’s this for a logic-busting pair of dueling headlines, courtesy of the El Paso Times. Keep in mind that both stories were published on the same day this week: One Juárez mayor says residents feel secure Six months into his tenure, Juárez Mayor Héctor Murguía Lardizábal has a surprising public message for outsiders: Juárez residents […]

This from the Tax Foundation: […]
Hours before Libyan rebels on Monday rejected a cease-fire proposal that didn’t include plans for the immediate ouster of Col. Muammar Gaddafi, a rebel leader in the besieged city of Misrata called for America to resume a more prominent role in enforcing Libya’s no-fly zone and protecting its civilian population. “The first 10 days when […]
The next time somebody calls you paranoid for questioning the ever-expanding reach of government into the private lives of citizens, tell them to give Fernando Dominguez a call. The seventh grader had enough temerity to protest his Chicago school outlawing students from bringing bag lunches to school. This from the Chicago Tribune: At his public […]
Earlier this month I wrote an April Fool’s post about the NCGOP abandoning any semblance of conservative principles, relinquishing majority control of the General Assembly, and agreeing to a power-sharing deal with Democrats. Enough people thought it was a legitimate story that we had to convince them it was a spoof. Here’s the reason why […]
What started out as a fairly reasonable piece of legislation to eliminate the state-imposed cap on charter schools in North Carolina has devolved into a bill that merely lifts the existing cap by 50, while placing more restrictions and requirements on charter schools. The latest version of Senate Bill 8, the so-called ““No Cap on […]
