Kansas defeated Memphis earlier this evening, 75-68 in OT. It was a great game, although I had to mute the commentary several times after having to listen to the inanity that was Jim Nantz and Billy Packard. Line of the night: Kansas has experience in OT champioinship games. Their 1957 team played in one. 1957. […]
The more time passes in this presidential campaign, the clearer it becomes that Sen. Barack Obama is the shallowest, emptiest politician to come down the pike in a long time. A few months back, Sen. John McCain was being introduced at a rally by radio talk show host who said some nasty things about Obama […]
Actor and activist Charlton Heston, who won the Academy Award for his portrayal of Judah Ben-Hur, died yesterday at the age of 83.

Rasmussen Reports has come out with a little statistical thought experiment: What would the Democratic presidential race look like if the Democrats used the GOP's winner-take-all primary system?

Friday's Wall Street Journal editorial page highlights a Kansas problem that we Californians are familiar with. Governor Kathleen Sebelius calls it "a moral obligation," as though she were opposing crimes against humanity. This is a reference to coal companies guilty of nothing more than attempting to provide power to consumers. But their misfortunes include emitting […]
Media mogul and nutjob Ted Turner has a ranch on which he raises animals which emit a lot of greenhouse gases. However, he does not propose to do away with his herds to save the planet. No, he predicts doom and gloom and humans resorting to cannibalism to survive once the Earth warms. Channeling my […]
The newest Pig Book is out and if you're interested in fiscal responsibility, then it certainly tells you something about the presidential hopefuls. According to the Pig Book ("The Book Washington Does Not Want You to Read"), New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is our new grand national oinker among presidential contenders for most pork barrel […]
Thursday's Wall Street Journal has an enlightening editorial on American economic history -- history that Democrats would do well to learn before they repeat it. To hear Mr. Schumer and his fellow-traveling columnists tell it, Hoover's great policy blunder was to do nothing, all the while insisting that everything was fine. But the problem with […]
Over at Free Liberal (via VikingPundit) they have some old video of Sen. Harry Reid attempting to explain how paying taxes in the United States is voluntary. Except that it isn't. Except that there are "loopholes" or "incentives." Except that you will go to jail if you don't pay your taxes. Except that it's voluntary. […]
