Yet again the media is selective about who’s rights they recognize as legitimate though most of the time they’re on the opposite side of logic anyway. And the Second Amendment has long been on their “ignore” list. Case in point, it seems they feel the public has a right to know who owns Handguns. Rather [...]
’‘Tis the season to be politically correct—a coast-to-coast harkening-free zone and the tyranny of hyper-sensitivity. The increasingly successful effort to purge Christmas from our culture (correctly called the War on Christmas) proceeds apace—municipal Christmas trees are re-christened (no pun intended) ‘holiday trees,’ schools ban Christmas decorations and the singing of Christmas carols during holiday programs.

One of the “Last Last Harrah” days (Thanksgiving thru the seven days) I made it down to Cataract Falls. It’s been many years since I’d been to Cataract but it hadn’t changed much, though the water was a bit higher in the lake below making the lower falls appear lower than they are during the [...]

They have a very cool interface that lets you actually watch the test in progress and it tests both down and up which is handy and the first one I’ve seen that does this so transparently. Though admittedly I don’t [...]
“History, by apprising [citizens] of the past will enable them to judge of the future; it will avail them of the experience of other times and other nations; it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and [...]
Those who follow Gary Varvel’s blog may know he’s been in hiding working on a special feature for Christmas. Well… it’s here! Well done especially considering it’s his first animation release.
What Mark Foley did was reprehensible but what the Dems did is even worse. They kept the information hidden since the fall of 2005 so that they could use it in the 2006 elections. And use it they did as it my well have been the pivot point of the Democrat victory. So the country [...]
Exxon was roasted on a spit over record profits… wonder if anyone will complain about Goldman Sachs biggest profit in Wall Street history. At least Exxon has a tangible product….
