Regular readers will recall that my wife and I were recently accused, via an anonymous complaint to Child and Family Services, of child neglect. Details of our first encounter with CFS and sheriff’s deputies can be found HERE
My biggest fear about this whole thing wasn’t so much how this particular incident itself would play […]

Last week MGM chief Terry Lanni delivered remarks to the Nevada Development Authority concerning the “chaos” of the state’s economy. It’s quite understandable why Mr. Lanni took time to address this important public policy issue; after all, there are at least two ballot initiatives being planned to sock the gaming industry with a huge […]

I recently wrote a column reluctantly defending the right of the religious nutjobs of the gay-hating Westboro “Baptist” “Church” to stage protests at military funerals. These are the same cretins who maintain the GodHatesFags.com website.
Anyway, rather than doing injury to the Constitution and undermining our right to free speech, I suggested in my column, […]

It’s bad enough the government has mandated school attendance. If your kid isn’t in school, you can be arrested for truancy. But now a government in Maryland is using mandatory schooling (Side Note: Schooling is not the same as education, as a vast number of kids in government schools aren’t getting an education) […]

At the Democrat debate in Las Vegas this week, Joe Biden got accolades for this little line: “Who among us is going to be able to, on day one, step in and end the war?”
In Biden’s opinion, that would be him. The very notion and sheer naiveté of such a statement should immediately disqualify […]

Harry Reid and liberals say a lot of silly things, but perhaps none as ridiculous as the contention that they’re supporting the troops by pulling them out of Iraq. This is like saying you support cops by not allowing them to respond to bank robberies, or firefighters by not letting them run into burning […]

In a recent column titled “Torture is Not a Republican Value” published in The National Interest Online, former CIA agent Philip Giraldi writes that torture is bad and “produces bad information.” Giraldi maintains that “information that comes from physical abuse is unreliable and frequently false.” He adds that Bush administration claims “that torture […]

Now that Lt. Col. Allen West has returned stateside from Afghanistan, his campaign to unseat Democrat incumbent Rep. Ron “Cut and Run” Klein in Florida’s 22nd District - stretching from Ft. Lauderdale to West Palm Beach - has begun in earnest.
Col. West, if you’re a new subscriber to this newsletter, “gained international praise…in […]

I received the following tongue-in-cheek report from another airline pilot friend. You just gotta love the biting sarcasm of this piece…
I’m a pilot and we aircrew are not subject to the same rules as the rest of the traveling public. We have to carry on all of our luggage and, therefore, cannot put […]

As noted in my previous column on this subject, I have a friend named “Paul” (not his real name) who is an American Airlines pilot. Below is a response from him on the issue of raising the retirement age for pilots from 60 to 65. But before we get to that, let me […]
