I think that Old Spice has the funniest commercials out there right now.  I like the Old Spice Guy (whose name is Isaiah Mustafa, BTW).  No, I don’t want my man to smell like him or be him, but I do enjoy watching the commercials as well as his new Youtube Channel where he answers… Continue reading

JayG links to an article from Oklahoma where a victim of a home invasion shot and killed one of the intruders and critically wounded the other.  The kicker to this??  She took NO action and was cooperative until they wanted her to undress.  She was willing to give up her belongings, but to not be… Continue reading

It’s interesting that an organization with its base and raison d’etre to perpetuate racism should accuse others of being racist.  Aside from the fact that pulling the race card so frequently makes it lose its sting (and that ticket has been punched so many times in the past year that it has lost all meaning),… Continue reading

In this article from the Wall Street Journal, tests performed by the federal government peg most of the issues with unintended acceleration on driver error–at least when it comes to the electronic system in Toyotas.  There were still the issues with the after-market floormats and the sticky accelerator pedals, but the preliminary findings from the… Continue reading

A president of a public university system in Indiana has asked that the American Flag be flown at half-staff to honor the passing of a former president of the university system.  Only the President and the Governor of states can ORDER a flag to half staff, but it can be ASKED to be flown at… Continue reading

Via Big Government:  An adjunct professor at the University of Illinois was fired for….  get this… telling students in an email that in Catholic doctrine, there is the belief that homosexuality is immoral.  The professor in question, being Catholic (apparently one who isn’t a Sunday-only type of Catholic), also told his students that he agrees… Continue reading

Via Insty, a posting on the Volokh Conspiracy about a sheriff in Iowa  (a discretionary concealed-carry gun permitting state) who denied a man his permit on the grounds that he was exercising his right to free speech but people didn’t like what he was saying.  Apparently the man was a vocal supporter of the Osceola… Continue reading
