First it was New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg who decided that he was really everybody’s mommy. A few weeks back Momma Mike took steps to outlaw the sale of large sodas in New York. No more super sizing for you. As the fizz was still settling on the big gulp grab, Ma Bloomie’s Board […]
We used to recognize them by their entrenched contradictions; Republicans were the party of free enterprise and regulated morality while Democrats were the party of civil liberties and economic confiscation. Libertarians were also easy to identify – we took the best from each to form the party of free enterprise AND civil liberties. Think of […]
If you are under the age of 70 and not sitting in a dentist’s office you probably haven’t seen the latest edition of TIME magazine. The cover has a photograph that features about 20 folks standing around with their faces clearly visible. That is important because the people featured allegedly only live in the shadows, […]
The justice system is apparently through with John Edwards. But according to the former Senator and presidential candidate, God isn’t. If the Almighty needs a helping hand, Edwards — the legal albatross removed from his neck — is ready to help.

Just a few weeks back we heard about a school that cancelled a class performance of that Lee Greenwood classic, “God Bless the USA,” and now we hear it again. This time, the Edna Cohen Elementary School in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, New York, is the site of the dispute. It seems that […]
This past week the attorney general, Eric Holder, sat in front of Congress and lied. In an absolutely amazing display of arrogance, as members of Congress read to him from his own emails and memos about the despicable Department of Justice gunrunning program called “Fast and Furious,” Holder sat there and told them, with a […]
Rand Paul, that is, as opposed to his father and still GOP presidential contender Ron Paul. So is this enough to get diehard Romney RINO critics to jump on the bandwagon, or at least make pulling the lever for him a somewhat less bitter pill to swallow? Including any of the horde of passionate and […]
