Some guys in Concord, New Hampshire (three over eighteen) forcibly held down a fourteen year old boy and tattooed him with lewd phrases, took pictures and sent them all over the school, and now are under arrest.  One of the guys involved said “At this point, I feel absolutely terrible about what was done,” a… Continue reading

In memoriam, the Afghanistan Buddhas that were destroyed by the Taliban because they were images.  Not even images of their prophet, but just statues. This is a travesty and a crime. This is what happens when free people do not speak.  This is what happens when we bow to threats.  Think about it. Continue reading

Via Drudge, the Rhode Island school district that fired every single teacher and administrator is hiring back the lot of them in the fall because the union has finally figured out that it’s better to make some concessions and have its people employed rather than putting an entire school district on the dole.  The teachers… Continue reading

Just read an interesting article linked from Drudge (as fair warning, it’s to HuffPo)….  The Chicago-based National People’s Action, in cahoots with the infamous SEIU, have decided not to take things to the streets, but to take things to people’s front doors.

Michael Filozof over at American Thinker has a VERY good post about Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court.  His article doesn’t worry about her lack of real courtroom experience or anything like that.  Instead he points out that her appointment will make the court entirely of people who attended and/or graduated from either Harvard… Continue reading

Obama has named Elena Kagan as his Supreme Court nominee.  I was watching the news this morning as they were talking about her qualifications and possible points of conflict for both the left and the right (this being the MSM, they were basically slamming the right, but anyway…)…. Here’s my problems with someone with her… Continue reading

Showing exactly how colorblind the present administration ISN’T, Obama goes golfing while Nashville tries to begin recovery from the worst flooding in memory.  There’s no benefit in him going there, so he’s just going to blow it off.  If he can’t exploit it, he’ll ignore it.  Besides, it’s just a bunch of redneck, white, hillbillies… Continue reading
