I'm working my way, rather quickly, through Bernard Goldberg's "Crazies to the left of me, Wimps to the righ," and came across a section on the New York Times and its refusal to print the infamous Muhammed cartoons. Goldberg describes an editorial that ran in the Times explaining how they chose not to print the […]

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.

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.
