Here is a story about REPUBLICAN Neal Kurk’s desire to raise the gasoline tax. And the NH GOP wonders why it was booted out of office in 2006!
I recently posted on Washington State trying to surpass the "San Fran values" in a big way. Well, Betsy’s Page has another story about socialism…and its failure. Once again, socialism that supposedly was started "the right way". Once again, the inevitable failure of such, no matter how good the intentions. Why? The lack of not …
Sometimes a person can be too smart for their own good. There are times when, for some inexplicable reason, certain otherwise very intelligent individuals can say the stupidest things imaginable in some lame attempt at humor that in the end makes no sense to anyone else but them. Think John Kerry or George Allen for …
I recently read Jan Crawford Greenburg’s Supreme Conflict: The Inside Story of the Struggle for Control of the United States Supreme Court.

Every once and a while, a story comes along that just makes you go, "Yes!" You know- the one that that will be immediately understood for what it is… and what it says, by anybody that reads it. Consider this from the Tennessee Center for Policy Research: Al Gore’s Personal Energy Use Is His Own …
As if a person needed another reason to tell the United Way to "stick it" when they come calling… . Consider this little piece of news about United Way activities. Not content with bullying Boy Scouts, enticing companies to "shake down" their employees, paying exhorbitant executive salaries, and otherwise putting long-time charities out of business, now …
I don’t know if it’s just me, but it sure seems like more and more scientists and weather & climate types are taking a more vocal, prolific stand against the notion that man’s activities are the primary cause of global warming.
