This column debuted a year ago and proceeded to make a troubling announcement: World peace has broken out. The political implications of world peace are dramatic — but difficult to credit. A year later, however, the Annunciation of the Peace has turned into something of a cottage industry. The AP’s Seth Borenstein reports: We’ve never […]
They say everything is bigger in Texas; I guess self-implosions are no exception. The scariest part about watching Rick Perry’s brutal brain freeze on stage during last night’s debate – aside, you know, from him not being able to name the three Cabinet agencies his flat tax and streamlined government would eliminate – is that […]
It’s said that necessity is the mother of invention, but this takes it to a new and truly twisted level. Facing up to 15 years in prison for charges of cocaine and heroin possession, a Salt Lake City man by the name of Jaime Alvarado essentially copped a get out of jail free card by […]

How’s that hope and change thing working? This from ZeroHedge, on GDP vs. Debt and what portends to be a very scary Halloween for the nation’s economic coffers coffins: We decided to dig into the actual numbers (cancelling out the per capital denominator as it is the same on both sides of the equation) and […]
This enlightening video was brought to the attention of PunditHouse this afternoon. It’s too good not to post. Thanks to the local talent that created it. You know who you are. 🙂
Earlier this month, much to the delight of big-government loving individuals from the left and right, Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) made a failed character-assassination attempt on anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist.
