Today's San Diego Union-Tribune has an article which makes substantial progress on filling a gaping hole I identified in an earlier story on possible corruption by Republican Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham. Said San Diego Realtor Christian Peter: "In November 2003, property values increased approximately 20 percent on a year-to-year basis in San Diego County. A […]
Poor and Stupid's Don Luskin points to an article (which has unfortunately fallen behind a subscription-only wall) that suggests something rather obvious -- that without abortion, there would be more Americans alive to pay Social Security taxes.

Randy "Duke" Cunningham took a $700,000 […]
Mike Tyson quit last night's fight before the start of the seventh round after he lost two points because of an intentional head butt and a failed attempt to break his opponent's arm.
