Feckless Ill. GOP Questions Use of Party Funds

For those wondering why the Illinois Republican Party can’t seem to bet Democrats, even criminal Democrats, here is one reason… I meant to mention this story yesterday and didn’t get to it.

Would Chicago Gun Rights Case Destroy Federalism?

For the Family Research Council, Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski warned in a Washington Times op ed that a case on gun rights that will soon come before the Supreme Court could “trigger the unhinging of American culture.” Not only do I think the pair went too far in their claim, I also think they […]

Science, Smoking, Healthcare, All Prove Gov’t Can’t be Trusted

This Leftist Drivel is Why Journalism is Dying

The Blindness Of The Left To The Consequences Of Their Decisions: The Medicare Edition

Lewis Diuguid: Ice Cream for Breakfast and a Unicorn in Every Garage

Kansas City Star columnist Lewis Diuguid is, I am forced to believe, completely addicted to some sort of hallucinogenic drug.
