Free speech update

This week's Supreme Court ruling on student speech started to set some boundaries on what teens can and can't say on campus. For the record: Can't: "Bong Hits 4 Jesus."

How they spend your money

CNN has been putting their summer interns to good use. This week, the interns' assignment was to contact all 100 U.S. Senators and ask for a list of their earmark requests. It should come as no surprise that all those politicians promising a more open government are full of sh hot air. Only six senators […]

You know about all those harmless, misunderstood, in-the-wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time, "alleged" jihadis that we've got down in Guantanamo Bay? We've released some of the ones that we believed were mistakenly captured. Unfortunately, we've been wrong.

Career opportunities

Democrats have been talking about it ever since they retook control of Congress earlier this year: Resurrecting the so-called "Fairness Doctrine." The fairness doctrine is being dug up and propped against the marble columns of the Capitol because Democrats don't like talk radio -- mainly because conservatives are good at it and Democrats can't turn […]
