There’s a mistaken idea floating around in some of our heads telling us that suicide is the most tragic end that a person can come to. While self destruction is a tragedy, there are far worse actions that the depressed, angry, or insane can take, as demonstrated this week in Winnenden, Germany when a former…

How to Save Elkhart, Indiana (and Whether We Should)
Barack Obama recently dropped in on Elkhart, Indiana to pitch the virtues of the Democrat’s now-$789B spending plan. Unemployment there is over 15%, having more than tripled since Obama burst on the scene as an upstart challenger to Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid last fall. Dick Moore, the town’s mayor, says, ""People are hanging in there,…
PC Librarians Ban Christmas at UNC
What could be more American than a Christmas tree in December? Apple pie in July, perhaps. But politically correct librarians and at least one mid-level bureaucrat in administration at the University of North Carolina don’t seem to think that Christmas is something to celebrate and have banned the university’s decades-old tradition of displaying Christmas trees…
Nation of Uncaring Retards
Saudi Arabia? Pakistan? Iran? France? No, I’m talking about the good ol’ U.S.A. What else can you say about a country in which discount-crazed New York shoppers actually trample a store employee to death in their haste to save $20? Claudia: A man has died today, not because of a stampede to get much needed…
Forgotten Purposes
A 61-year-old man faces an early death. Fortunately, a drug exists that *might* help. Doctors, recognizing the case is imminently terminal, recommend trying it. The FDA grants special approval for the treatment. And money is not an issue. What could go wrong? Frederick Baron may be about to find out. Seems that Biogen is refusing…
CyberPunks, an Apt Name
Mattathias Schwartz’s article in the NY Times magazine serves as a brief peek into the anarchic world of Internet trolls and hackers, people who are generally considered the enemy by business computing professionals like myself. There’s a freedom, or the perception of it, on the Net that doesn’t exist anywhere else in quite the same…
Liberal Fantasy – Nationalizing Big Oil
It shouldn’t surprise anyone who’s been tracking the far left that nationalizing the oil industry is their latest brainstorm. Take a look at this video – it’s amazing to me that they’re so brazen about their desire to steal the investment made by stockholders of these companies. It’s quite staggering, really, that they can be…
One Man’s Humor is Another’s Apology Waiting to Happen
Mike Huckabee is a great speaker, from the way he connects with an audience to his cadence to his ability to improvise. He’s a funny guy who’s quick with a joke and a smile. But like a comedian who’s got them giggling and makes one quip too many going for the full belly laugh, Huckabee’s…
Whining for Juan Crow
Roberto Lovato’s new Ode to Juan Crow is a must-read simply because it’s Americans’ responsibility to know what the people who are actively seeking to undermine our country are doing. Unfortunately equating the racial discrimination faced by Black Americans under Jim Crow to current anti-illegal immigration laws fails on one simple point: the illegals are,…
Abortion as Art
Aliza Shvarts, a Yalie art major, will be displaying her senior art project on campus next week. The content: videos of herself suffering through a series of deliberately self-induced miscarriages and wads of plastic smeared with the blood and tissue expelled from her womb in the process. Freaky, to say the least. Per Yale Daily…
