An old friend sent me the link to an article and suggested I might want to chime in on the issue. Boy was he right.
Tom Humphrey wrote a piece yesterday at KnoxNews.Com titled ‘Cigarette Surveillance Program Begins Today‘ detailing the practical results of an outrageous law being used by a government unfamiliar with the […]

It’s possible it’s a typo. I suspect it’s not.

Prevailing wisdom in this country is that folks attending Ivy League schools are smarter than the rest of us. At least we hope so since much of our government, business and political leaders come from those hallowed halls. When that wisdom is put to the test, it seems the answer is more blue […]

The Democrat’s #2 candidate for the Presidency, Barack Hussein Obama, announced he was tired of the old tax system.
As reported in The Chicago Tribune, Obama announced plans to overhaul the US tax code and system at a speech to the Tax Policy Center. The Tribune labels his efforts as “continu[ing] a populist economic approach”, […]

I’m all for losing my head over some things and maybe even falling head over heels for others. This, however is a bit extreme. The photo is not altered in any way as far as I can tell. It is of a Chinese gymnast competing internationally in Greece. She’s just flexible […]

Over at RedState.Com, Erick chronicles the permutations taken by the term we use to identify a particular group of Americans. Reading it, I was struck by how many other groups have a similar progression of their own.

UPDATE: As the anonymous commenter rather snarkily points out, I learned after posting that the program for non-citizens seeking citizenship via military service applies only to legal immigrants and, possibly, those making requests from another country but not yet present in the US (I’m still looking into that).

A month ago I posted on Doug Bandow’s article at NRO concerning the problems of a Malaysian Christian woman who is really a Muslim in ‘Sometimes Ballots Beat Bullets’.
She isn’t really both Christian and Muslim of course. That’s not really possible despite what some people might say. She is a Christian who wants […]

Now that he’s officially in the race, Haaretz has added Fred Thompson’s name to the list as they attempt to predict future policies on Middle East issues for specific candidates.
This is their first dealing with FDT but it won’t be the last. Especially now that he is a candidate and fair game on all […]
