Democrats in Philadelphia still buy the false argument that guns cause crime and want Obama and Hillary to come out in strong support of more anti-gun laws. At the same time they admit it is political suicide for any politician. This is one place McCain has been fairly up and up whereas the Democrat contenders [...]
Every now and then you just have to say DUH! and move on. Duh! one because we’ve known this for several years now and Duh! two if you think the media not only doesn’t know but thinks this will get them to change their tactics. Because they’re getting what they want.
This type of thing seems to be becoming more and more common, someone lists someone else’s house as open to public picking over and an innocent man gets his property ransacked. How do you stop things like this? First, throw anyone who participates in jail. Second, disallow any such ads or require the owner be [...]
I believe I mentioned last month that the housing bust would turn around fairly quickly as prices fall and bargain hunters get into gear and it looks like it is already happening as sales of existing homes rise in February. I had noticed a number of houses in my area which had been for sale [...]

A leak in the horribly engineered fresh air intake allows water to flow off the windshield, through the venting and fill up the [...]
“You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing is worth dying for, when did this begin? Should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ [...]
“Well, Seamus Wright, I’ll keep this brief. On St. Patrick’s Day, you should spend time with saints and scholars, so of course, you know, I have two more stops I have to make. I turned back to the ancient days of Ireland to find a suitable toast, and I think I have found it. St. [...]
