I didn’t support Ah-nold when he ran for governor of California not just because he’s a RINO, but because the Pants-A-Nator has morals a little too similar to Bill Clinton’s for my taste. That being said, I do have to admit I was warming up to the Governor. He was getting the California budget under […]

This story from (big surprise) Vermont has been getting a lot of play in the blogosphere: “There was outrage Wednesday when a Vermont judge handed out a 60-day jail sentence to a man who raped a little girl many,many times over a four-year span starting when she was seven.

Yesterday, I noted the difference in one comparable experience between United Parcel Service (UPS), a private delivery service, and the United States Postal Service (USPS), the government mail delivery service.

From political analyst Hosein Rouyvaran on the Islamo-Fascist Iranian News Channel via Memri: The number of Jews in the world (before World War II) was about 13 million.
