Right from the start the media, led by Pima County Sheriff Dupnik, got everything wrong about the Tucson Shooting incident.

By now, the news media has saturated us with information about the January 8th shooting of eighteen innocent people in Tucson, Arizona. Six perished from their wounds, including a bright-eyed, nine year-old girl. A [...]

Playing For Keeps

Intellectual Conservative's baseball expert makes his World Series predictions.

Friends, it's that melancholy time of year, again. Fall is here, spelling the end of summer's warmth. It's the time of year for all baseball junkies to cry in their beer if their favorite team didn't make the post-season. It's also the time of [...]

The Fool On The Hill

Paul Krugman still clings to the proven bankrupt Keynesian doctrine that a nation can spend itself to prosperity.

There's an old adage that tells us that stupidity will rise to its own level of incompetence. Having said that, one has to wonder if there's a bigger fool than Dr. Paul Krugman, who [...]

You Know My Name (Look Up My Number)

Major League Baseball needs to get its financial house in order. The current revenue sharing system is not getting the job done.

While examples abound in daily life, one still needs to look no further than major league baseball for proof that socialism is an abject failure. Just pick up your morning paper [...]

It Takes Two

It takes TWO starkly different ideas for real change and real choice within a society.

Bold, brash, brazen, haughty, eager, audacious, fearless;" these are just a smattering of the adjectives being used to describe one political party in America these days. It's the Democrats who have a newfound sense of joi de vie under Barack [...]

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

None of history's best comics found it necessary to push the envelope. They knew how to make people laugh and that was enough.

Unless you live like a hermit under a large rock, you've at least heard something about Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Association dinner (held on May 9, 2009). Wanda Sykes [...]

Money For Nothing (And Checks For Free)

John Quayle — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 12:28:09 +0000

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch; unless you are a Keynesian or a politician.

In 1905, Hispanic philosopher George Santayana sagely opined, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Outgoing President George W. Bush was buried during Inauguration Week in a hail of bombastic, spiteful contempt [...]

The Republican Rules Of The Road, According To Colin Powell: (Jacking The GOP From Conservatives)

John Quayle — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 02:18:09 +0000

Powell's worst affliction, like his liberal brethren, is obvious; he has lost all semblance of critical thought.

Colin Powell is clearly impressed with his own importance. Tothat end, he's not that much different than any other entrenchedbureaucrat in Washington, D.C. Bureaucracy is DC's "smokestack", ofsorts and the firmly entrenched interests react with anger when [...]
