Yeah, I know it seems far-fetched, almost to the level of conspiracy-theory material. But, sometimes, I just can’t help but think some scenes in politics are totally contrived. Today we got yet another sampling. To wit, Hillary was asked this question: “My question is very personal, how do you do it?” asked Marianne Pernold Young, [...]
A lot of people are reading things into this week’s elections. Some people claimed these elections are nothing but a national referendum on Bush and/or the Republicans. As such, I posted my “anticipated results” from the elections a few days ago. I’m still sticking with those “predictions” post-election. Now, here’s what happens when “national” expectations [...]
In a ruling that could open the United States to offshore Internet gambling, a World Trade Organization panel Wednesday said Washington should drop prohibitions on Americans placing bets in online casinos. In its final 287-page report, the WTO panel confirmed the preliminary ruling it issued in March in a dispute pitting the United States against [...]
I really can’t believe this one: A federal jury awarded $24.2 million to two men who were severely burned by electrical wires when they trespassed onto railroad property and climbed atop a rail car.

The reason I yanked Googe AdSense was because no matter what I wrote about Bush, their "unbiased" searches would ALWAYS come up with something [...]
Was reading a trashy New York gossip rag that was talking about Rush attacking Michael J. Fox for over-acting his Parkinson’s symptoms for political gain. Well, here is the video in question via Claire McCaskill: Here’s Fox circa June 2006: The problem Rush has is just making the allegation is distasteful to just about anyone [...]
Saw this on Michelle Malkin: Now, as usual, AP goes beyond their mission statement and translates biases the news. Why can’t these organizations do what they are supposed to do and just report the news? Any more, I swear the news media is scaring more than the other two. Bush will be out of office [...]
Morgan Quitno Press released this list of the “smartest states” list. Without further ado, here it is, color coded to make it more fun to play with: Looks kinda grim for all those people who mocked the “Al Gore voters are smarter than Bush voters” thingy from the past. However, Morgan Quitno has kept [...]
Officials at an elementary school south of Boston have banned kids from playing tag, touch football and any other unsupervised chase game during recess for fear they’ll get hurt and hold the school liable. Recess is "a time when accidents can happen," said Willett Elementary School Principal Gaylene Heppe, who approved the ban. While there [...]
