Sometimes the soft-headed absurdity of the effete left leaves me wondering how so many people came to appear so much like parodies of themselves. Apparently administrators at a school in Chicago are up in “arms” about gun-free zone signs they are being asked to post on their property. They are angry because the signs contain pictures of […]

Apparently he thought “Crime Dog” meant that he was supposed […]

So, after you have passed, you let traffic coming from the opposite direction know there is a police car ahead—by flashing your brights a couple of times. A federal judge […]

This is distinct from similar studies that claim that Google, and the internet at large, have destroyed people’s ability to recall information. In case you were wondering, the study worked […]

((Disclaimer: The following article is long, and it contains lots […]

The NRCC has set up a number of sites that look like pro-Democrat fundraising sites, except for one crucial word. For instance, a website for Florida Democrat Alex Sink has a smiling […]

(Methinks the lady doth protest too much…) But as soon as anybody else tries to make a choice they don’t like … Well, they immediately start laying down unilateral standards of conformity. A case in point. The state of Indiana now has a state-wide […]

Take for instance the Coca-Cola commercial that won the award for “Super Bowl XLVIII’s Most Controversial Ad.” Yawn. I can’t believe people were upset over this one. […]

A while back, I proposed a fairly simple ballot measure that I think would break the two-party system. It involved allowing each voter to vote yes or […]

So socialism can work here.” I’m sick of hearing it for a number of reasons. Most of the American leftists who make the “look-at-Norway-see-socialism-works” argument have major problems with the […]
