In the days leading up to and on the morning of the “Restoring Honor” rally it was ring-around the liberal networks as every left-leaning news outlet from CBS to MSNBC attempted to paint Glenn Beck’s gathering as, “controversial and political”. On Friday, ABC ran a headline that read, “Glenn Beck’s Non Political Rally Turns […]
Not exactly breaking news here, but you’d never know it from the MSM’s downplay of what should’ve been an across-the-board, above-the-fold lead story. The Obama Administration has scuttled plans to prosecute terrorist Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, who allegedly masterminded the October 2000 attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, killing 17 sailors and leaving dozens more […]
Smile and say Ingsoc. A U.S. Court of Appeals has ruled that it is perfectly acceptable for agents of the government to covertly invade your personal property, trample over your privacy rights and secretly track every move you make, without even bothering to obtain a warrant. Seriously. Adam Cohen from TIME magazine lays out the […]
Americans love the short, quick solution. (Except when it involves them, that is) We have one possible solution that would take about six words to write in a piece of legislation. It would be one simple answer to our enormous budget deficits that has never been offered, considered or asked to be scored by the […]
The odds, and big-time money, were against J.D. Hayworth pulling out a win in Arizona’s Republican primary, but the 27-point clobbering he took from John “I was a maverick for amnesty before I wasn’t a maverick against it” McCain came as a surprise. The fact that McCain blew through upwards of $21 million and sold […]
[This post was originally a comment response to Cheryl on Frank Hill’s post HERE. As it turned out longer than expected, I figured I’d bring the discussion to the forefront. I co-own the site and can do that. 🙂 ] Cheryl, Thanks for your patience. This took longer than expected to pen. (Well, type. Technicalities!) […]
As the failure of major public pension funds looms on the horizon, talk is of how to resolve the issue. R. Eden Martin, in a well thought out essay in the WSJ, makes various recommendations that would resolve part of the problem, but his thought, and that of most others, treats the symptoms and not […]
Sometimes you have to wonder if people actually listen to their own rhetoric. Surely if they would just say out loud what they intend to write down, the very words would make them laugh so hysterically that putting pen to paper with such commentary would no longer be an option. An oft-used line that is […]
You know, sometimes the best answer is also the simplest answer. William of Ockham (Occam) was a 14th century English philosopher who came up with the ‘crazy’ notion that perhaps the simplest answer is the best one and it became known, oddly enough, as ‘Occam’s Razor’. Same with the idea that perhaps the United States […]
I don’t know what happened to RICO. Maybe there are just too many fraudulent organizations and culprits to charge. Besides, when the culprits are in charge of the Justice Department, it’s unlikely that they will charge themselves. Organized crime in government is rampant, yet we don’t hear of RICO charges against organized fraud with […]
