I have been waiting and wating for this one. When I wrote my diary, The Constitutional Non Sequitur, I purposely left one out. That was because the US Court of Appeals in Chicago was hearing arguments on that non sequitur. Immediately following the landmark District of Columbia v. Heller case, in which the Second Amendment was recognized as a right retained by individuals, the NRA | Read More »
Looking ahead, 2012 is still a long-way off. While no one yet knows who the next GOP Presidential candidate will be, it seems likely that this person is already making the moves necessary to run in a primary, as the primary season is likely to start (unofficially, at least) shortly after the 2010 Congressional elections. Taking a look at the news and the blogosphere, I | Read More »
My brother returned, safe and sound, from Iraq this week. A soldier in the National Guard, he was called up a year ago and spent about nine months overseas. His first son was born while he was active and training to go over. Though we both aspired to it, he chose the military path that I did not. My brother and I don’t get along | Read More »
The Left has taken a particular interest of late in trying to convey any conservative (and libertarian) ideology as “extreme,” “dangerous” or “anti-government.” Liberals call any opposition to Anthropogenic Global Warming anti-science even though the myth of consensus on IPCC report has been debunked. While always attacking the science, the climate change movement always makes sure to also attack the skeptics personally. Militia and anti-tax | Read More »
How can you possibly relate Star Trek to bankruptcy law? Okay, I’m the only person I know who wasn’t completely blown-away-thrilled by the new Star Trek movie. I actually enjoyed it as a pure Sci-Fi, but as a life-long Trekkie (or Trekker, if you must), some things bothered me. You see, Star Trek had forty-three years of building its canon. This was the set history | Read More »
Cross-posted at Fred’s News. I can’t stand most “green” products. They don’t work very well, they cost more and people who use them generally take a “holier than thou” opinion of themselves, just because they’re using some crappy green product. Green products are Lifestyle Products. They are meant to make somebody feel better about who they are simply because they are being “environmentally responsible.” At | Read More »
Okay, perhaps that’s a bit of an overstatement, but it has its basis in fact. See, most Global Warming/Climate Change enthusiasts base their opinion that Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW or “man-made global warming”) on computer models. These are computer models that use complex equations developed from the limited amount of data in an attempt to model the behavior of the Earth’s atmosphere. These complex models | Read More »
Few probably took note of this article by Diana Furchtgott-Roth. It is worth the read. President Obama did promise to raise the minimum wage during his campaign. His reading the article is doubtful. This is unfortunate, since Ms. Furchgott-Roth is an expert in labor economics, and her point is valid not just for American Samoa, but for America as a whole. In 2007, Congress voted | Read More »
Author’s note: When using the term “liberal” or any derivative thereof, it is a reference to modern colloquialism, not to the traditional definition of “liberal,” which is in fact what we now call “conservative.” – – – In law, they use Latin quite a bit. We recognize some of them easily: pro bono, en loco parentis, per se, and non sequitur among them. It is | Read More »
I’m just going to let this video speak for itself. There’s not much I need to say. Prophetic, no?
