From just up the road, a high school boy was expelled from school for sharing his asthma inhaler with his girlfrend who uses the same prescription. I hate to say it, what with all of the educators in my family, but this is exactly the kind of stupidity that happens within a closed government-run system….

Rush was Wrong?
No, not really, not about the NFL’s version of Affirmative Action. But wrong or not, he’s gone, forced out of his position on ESPN as a result of stating the obvious: the NFL wants to have more blacks at the top of its marquee. How dare I? Anyone who reads the sports page knows that…
Federal Court Rules Against Do-Not-Call List
What a bunch of freaking morons. This should demonstrate the difference between law and justice, sense and nonsense. Even a child would recognize the legitimacy of this long overdue privacy measure. All the doofuses had to do was exactly nothing and yet they’ve managed to screw it up.
Habitat for Humanity Home a Crack House
Aren’t you glad you didn’t volunteer your time and effort to help these losers?
10 Commandments Judge Suspended
Alabama Judge Roy Moore ‘failed to uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary’. Failed to bow and scrape to appease the the malcontents in society, from what I can see. Those that know me realize I’m not a religious person. If that offends, too bad. If Judge Moore’s statue offends, tough luck. The Constitution…
Texas A&M in the News
First, the bad news: the lawsuit against the school is back on in the case of the bonfire collapse. The thing that gets me about this case is this: what would the kids who were killed want to have happen? I doubt seriously if they would see the years of legal wrangling as the right…
New Spam Law Won’t Work
Or so says the head of the FTC, the bureaucracy that brought you AOL-TimeWarner and Clear Channel communications. Just because some spammers won’t abide by the proposed “do not spam” list doesn’t mean it’s not the right thing to do. Do we abolish speed limits just because every hick with a pickup ignores them? Not…
Another One Ought to Bite the Dust
An appeals court in New Orleans halted execution of convicted murderer. Any excuse will do, apparently, to stop justice from being meted out. If you ask me, a guy who pulls a gun on the presiding judge in his murder trial has proven the state’s case against himself.
Spam Is Killing the Internet
National columnist Jacquelyn Mitchard is taking her email address out of circulation because of spammers. This is the same problem as us common-folk have; perhaps someone important will care about her, though. Ultimately this is probably going to boil down to people being assigned an IP address the day they are born so as to…
White House Tells EPA to Omit Important Content From Report
How about telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but? If Christie Whitman cares so much about the report’s integrity, she ought not to have run out on her job.
