They’re Sorry Now!
Arizona passed their law requiring immigrants to prove their legal status and apparently lots of undocumented workers went home rather than live the risk of being caught or even the hassle.

Let’s start with […]
Rand Shrugged
Ah, how does the Republican Party find such diamonds in the rough. Do the have some sort of algorithm written by a climate change denier “scientist”? Could it be something in the cocktails served at their country clubs? But the party that has given us Sarah Palin and Michael Steele has now presented us with […]
No Grecian Formula, Turning Japanese Instead
A lot has been said by people regarding the recent Greek collapse and its relationship to the direction the Obama Administration is taking the United States, for instance Red State: Are we watching Americas future being played out in the streets of Athens, Greece? If Barack Obama has his way the troubles that are now […]
Political Advertising
We’re going to be inundated with political ads between now and November. Thanks to some hard work over at the Huffington Post, we can enjoy some of these in this mash-up they put together the other day. Note the prominence of Mike Castle (Confederate-DE At Large).
