The anti-military lawyer who was accused of keying a Marine's car had his day in court on Friday. The plea bargain: 30 hours community service, one year probation, $600 to the Marine Semper Fi Fund and an admission of guilt. The last part is probably the one that's going to the guy in trouble with […]
There's a simple reason that I'm never going to wear my politics on my car in the form of ribbons, bumper stickers or anything else -- expressing views contrary to liberal orthodoxy is viewed by far too many on the left as a license to vandalize. Case in point: Marine Sgt. Mike McNulty's car was […]
So, there's some lawsuits and legislation going through Congress on whether employers can require that their employees speak English -- in America. I nearly fell down laughing and hurt myself when this lawyer they had on Fox News' "The Big Story" was defending the rights of people to speak languages other than English on the […]
In Boulder, Colo., they make the Kelo land-grab look like the epitome of government adherence to the rule of law. Despite owning the land, despite living only 200 yards from the property, despite hiking past it every week with their three dogs, despite spraying for weeds and fixing fences, despite paying homeowner association dues and […]
Monday morning the remaining charges were dropped against the two 13-year-old boys who were arrested and charged with crimes that would require them to register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives for (stupidly) slapping girls on their butts.

A few weeks ago I mentioned the case of two seventh-grade boys who were charged with 10 sex crimes for slapping girls on the butt -- including five which, if they were convicted, would require them to register as sex offenders. After tons of outrage, five felony sex abuse charges were first reduced to misdemeanors […]
Don Imus, a jerk, is getting sued by one of the Rutgers University women's basketball players because he ruined her good name. If you can name any Rutgers University women's basketball player -- past or present -- then your daughter plays on the team. This is silliness.
Chula Vista City Councilman Steve Castaneda appears to be getting the Patrick Fitzgerald treatment from Prosecutor Patrick O'Toole of the San Diego County District Attorney's Public Integrity Unit. Castaneda has been charged with perjury "for allegedly lying about whether he thought about buying one of the Sunbow condominiums." When asked in front of the grand […]
A couple of months back, the city of Vista (located just north of San Diego) passed an ordinance requiring people who hire day laborers to register with the city. The ACLU has filed suit before over the ordinance alleging, oddly, that requiring registration infringes on free speech and equal protection rights. Which raises the question: […]
Over at Daily Pundit is an interesting article addressing possible reasons why there are fewer men volunteering for programs like the Big Brothers-Big Sisters program. Personally, I think the analysis is dead-on. Perhaps men are merely acting rationally. They've assessed the risk of volunteering to work with children, and want no part of it. If […]
