Once the Republicans took control of the state, the craziness came out. The Ohio House of Representatives approved two bills on Wednesday that would give Ohioans more rights to carry concealed weapons, including one that allows people to carry a gun into a bar. The latter bill allows Ohioans who have a concealed-carry permit to […]
This time we go to the “law professor”, Ann Althouse: Are the men in the T-shirts also from Moveon.org? Who were they? There were no arrests and though there was a crowd, no one bothered to have detained these men. Did they just melt back into the night? It’s very convenient that these bad actors […]
I try to stay out of the antics of America’s most desperate soap opera, The Wasiila-Billies, but this latest saga has way too many indicators that Sarah Palin is gearing up for a run in 2012. Last week news broke via People Magazine that Levi Johnston issued a major mea culpa to the Palin family: […]
The following video is from KOMO News in Seattle. So what started all this? Well the officer was citing them for jaywalking. Yup – the extremely horrible crime of crossing a street where you shouldn’t. It looks like the officers superiors have a “number of concerns” over what happened also: Seattle police officials said Tuesday […]
The DNC Change Commission has been working on changes to the way the DNC handles primaries and it looks like the super delegates could end up losing their vote: The Commission spent most of the meeting discussing the future role of automatic unpledged delegates (super delegates).

Once President Obama announced a timeline to start drawing down troops in Afghanistan we knew that the right would start attacking it. Right on cue we have John McCain telling Good Morning America that the timeline will “embolden” the enemy: “I trust his [McChrystal’s] judgment enormously but I also understand that both our enemies and […]
Joe Conason has a very enlightening piece up about Mike Huckabee and his addiction to letting criminals walk free. In the article Conason points out something very interesting, yet missed in this debate: Huckabee has proudly declared on many occasions that he disdains the separation of church and state, insisting that his strict Baptist piety […]
I have used this quote before, but it bares repeating: However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for […]
It really is becoming an epidemic of stupidity: Two DeKalb County police officers have been placed on paid administrative leave after an investigation revealed they ran a background check on President Barack Obama. A representative for the DeKalb County CEO’s office identified the officers as Ryan White and C.M. Route. I guess they missed that […]
I am actually glad we are still talking about the arrest of Professor Gates. Not only is the race issue being opened up, but there is much more here than people are realizing – the reach of the long arm of the law. On the race issue, I don’t think anyone can pass judgment on […]
