No Headstomping Or Footstomping Allowed In Kentucky Or Anywhere Else

Posted on by John Hawkins

Last night at the Rand Paul vs. Jack Conway debate, a couple of extremely unfortunate incidents occurred.

Liberals love the word “sustainable.” However, the mess they’ve made of California is anything but: California, which has the largest U.S. public-pension fund, faces liabilities that may exceed its annual state-tax revenue fivefold within two years unless lawmakers rein in benefits, according to a study.

So We’re Now Willing To Admit WMDs Were Found In Iraq Because Wikileaks Says So?

Posted on by John Hawkins

If the CIA had done its job and killed Julian Assange, there probably wouldn’t have been a huge new WikiLeaks document dump that may get even more Iraqis murdered for the terrible crime of helping the United States.

You Have the Right to Choose Who You Live With in a Free Society

Posted on by Brian Garst

We’re not allowed to discuss it in polite company, but the dirty secret of anti-discrimination law is that it violates free choice, as well as the very civil rights it is ostensibly designed to protect. Take the case of a Michigan woman who advertised for a roommate with whom she would be compatible.:  Specifically, she […]

 

Finding meaning in the dustpan — or how Little Women, housekeeping, socialism and capitalism are all related

Posted on by Bookworm

Believe it or not, in an act of near heroic intellectual prestidigitation, I’m going to explain to you how Little Women, housekeeping, socialism and capitalism are all related.

A Break for ‘Mob Banker,’ Feds Releasing Report After Election

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It must be nice to be an Obama insider like Democrat Senate candidate Alexi “The Mob Banker” Giannoulias is. Obama’s FDIC is obviously in his corner, it seems. After all, the FDIC decided to wait until after the election is over to release its report on the failure of Giannoulias’s family bank. So, Giannoulias might […]

 

“Where Did Shakespeare Take His Courses in Creative Writing?”

Not One Word, And I Hope a Polar Bear Eats You

Had an awesome idea. This really old ugly guy was staring back at me from my bathroom mirror. He had Beethoven’s hair…at least, in volume.

Anybody looking for an apartment?

There’s a half-off sale in the world’s tallest building: Even with an address at the iconic Burj Khalifa, rents for residences in the tower are not immune from Dubai’s real estate crash. Indeed, nearly a year after it was inaugurated with a massive water-and-fireworks display, about 825 of the tower’s 900 ultra-luxury apartments remain unoccupied […]
