Albert Jay Nock, in his “Theory of American Education,” described a good education in the 1890s: After the three R’s, or rather for a time in company with them, his staples were Latin, Greek, and mathematics. He took up the elements of these two languages very early, and continued at them, with arithmetic and algebra, nearly all the […]
Two cases of star gazing paint a fairly vivid picture of just how far into the lunacy lair our fair country’s leaders have wandered. First up, how about a little rehashed chatter of imperial ecstasy to kick off The One’s would-be penultimate term: New York Democratic Rep. Jose Serrano reintroduced a bill in Congress on Friday to […]
The Republican-led House of Representatives has passed a bill to increase the deficit $9.7 billion. Why did they do this? Because the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is broke. The NFIP is a federally run program that allows individuals, businesses, and municipalities to purchase insurance policies in flood prone areas where private insurance companies REFUSE […]
I recently read a comment online that included the directive to “do what’s best for your country.” It doesn’t really matter what the person was supporting, it was the belief by this person that any two people could agree on “what’s best” that got me to thinking.

I’ve refrained from putting my thoughts on the Newtown shooting in writing to this point so I might digest as much information as possible about what happened, why it happened, and what the country might do about it.

While listening to the NRA’s recent press conference on the Sandy Hook situation, I found it ironic that Code Pink interrupted the news conference blaming the NRA for killing our […]
I got nothing to add here and confess to lifting the headline verbatim from WBTV, mainly because, well, naked burglar flees Alabama home with Chihuahua. A man and woman arrested for manufacturing methamphetamine in Morgan County, AL are also charged for a previous burglary in which authorities said they made themselves at home in a […]
Cigarette butts, that is. Not content with banning smoking in restaurants, public parks and open spaces, along with serving up a whole menu of other bans that includes outlawing the sale of super-sized sodas, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg is at again, this time looking to effectively snuff smoking in private residences. Yes, your home. This […]
The shell casings had barely hit the floor in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting when the left began to exploit the horror to further their gun control agenda. Attorney General Eric Holder weighed in with the statement that we need to take a “hard look” at the rights of American citizens, and Obama himself […]
This one has been making the rounds on the Google machine; worth a read for a chuckle if it hasn’t crossed your radar yet: Timmy’s Letter To Santa Claus Dear Santa, How are you? How is Mrs. Claus? I hope everyone, from the reindeer to the elves, is fine. I have been a very […]
