All rise! The Court of Historical Accuracy is now in session, the Honorable First Amendment presiding. The Court will entertain arguments in the case of Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) vs. Free Speech. At issue is the protected status and free application of speech during wartime. Sen. Graham, hereafter the Prosecution, alleges free speech is invalid […]
The unfortunate case of Mr. Bob Barber, whose life was ended by the actions of Mr. Chauncey Sterling, has brought to the top of the froth the usual apologizers and social guilt mongers. As always their question is: How did we fail Mr. Sterling? What should we do different in the future? What can we […]
The debt ceiling is due to be voted on soon and we have come around more to the position that the best thing Congress can do is to leave it alone as is today: $14 trillion, $294 billion is the legal limit of all of our borrowing can be under existing law. What would happen […]
This might be a self-defeating tactic for a media guy, but whenever a major event occurs I tend to let some time pass before I start drawing conclusions. I’ll spend the first 72 hours or so gathering information and listening to what other people say. I try not to make a formal assessment about a […]

County fairs and traveling carnivals were once the prime entertainment for rural Americans. A staple attraction at those amusements was the Tilt-a-Whirl. For the uninitiated, the Tilt-a-Whirl platform simultaneously tilts and rotates while each passenger car spins independently. The Tilt-a-Whirl can be a dizzying, stomach-churning experience that leaves passengers incapable of determining a proper direction. […]
After seeing Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged Part I,” I found the name of Sen. Dick Durbin’s “Main Street Fairness Act” sickeningly hilarious. Rand nails the hypocrisy of the language of the left in her book. Trust me, there is no “fairness” in Durbin’s bill, or any other euphemistically titled contrivance the Democrats have come up […]
President Obama, this week, began his 2012 reelection campaign in earnest with stops across the country to reinvigorate his base and to raise war chest funds for the months ahead. In stops from Annandale, Virginia to San Francisco, California, the President tuned up the delivery and the message that served him so well in 2008. […]
About 1,000 North Carolinians who are registered to vote (although might never actually do so) say they’d prefer former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory to be Governor, rather than the current occupant of the office – Bev Perdue.
