Heston’s Credo on Guns
Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006“Here’s my credo. There are no good guns, there are no bad guns. A gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a good man is no threat to anyone, except bad people.” —Charlton Heston
The Failure to Follow Through in Iraq
Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006“To begin something and be unable to stick with it to the finish is far more damaging to your reputation than if you’d never begun it in the first place. Nitwit Democrats think anything that can be passed off as a failure in Iraq will somehow diminish only Bush and the neocons. In reality—a concept [...]
Profiling
Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006“The fact remains that young Middle Eastern males have committed a disproportionate amount of violent terror attacks in recent years.

One of the problems with Indiana coal verses coal from, say, Utah, is a high sulfur [...]
Cat-killing raccoons on prowl
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006Olympia, Washington has a problem, raccoons are killing cats and there was even one incident of raccoons ganging up and hauling off a small dog (who escaped). So what do these brave souls do? They have an “emotional” meeting, build coops for their cats and buy pepper spray. To make things more ludicrous the local [...]
