I’m thinking that it might be time for me to weigh in on an important and pressing controversy, The Princes Project: The Richard III Foundation, Inc. is respectfully requesting that the bones in the Tower, that are alleged to be the sons of Edward IV, be subjected to modern scientific examination and the treatment of…

It looks like the European Carbon Trading Scheme is being hit by massive fraud. Carousel fraud has found its way to the carbon market. The particularly European type of fraud entails setting up complicated import and export schemes between EU member countries, charging buyers for value-added tax in the country of destination, and then absconding…

Instapundit links to a piece on Hillary Clinton that proclaims that Hillary wants to stop sexual violence. Women and girls in particular have been victimized on an unimaginable scale, as sexual and gender-based violence has become a tactic of war and has reached epidemic proportions. Some 1,100 rapes are reported each month, with an average…

No one wants to be murdered. But it seems to me that there’s something especially degrading about being murdered by a child. Even a feral child, like the 12 year old boy who is charged with robbing and murdering a 24 year old woman: Detroit — Trisha Babcock’s dreams of becoming a nurse were snuffed…

Via Dean Esmay, I found a hilarious post by Ace tearing WorldNetDaily a new one over the latest Birther “revelation.” This time, it seems WND has learned that Barack Obama actually was born in Hawaii, only in 1957 instead of 1961. The evidence? A typo on his MySpace time. Which is, um, his real birth-year…

I was looking at the comments to my American Thinker article Fusion Energy and came across an interesting sequence of comments I had missed earlier. The first comment is by a sceptic. There are earlier comments by him in the comment section. Posted by: WR Jonas Jun 19, 01:18 PM I have spoken out here…

Via a link from Glenn Reynolds, I see the feds have declared war on old toys, and are cracking down on people who sell recalled items on ebay and Craigslist. WASHINGTON — If you’re planning a garage sale or organizing a church bazaar, you’d best beware: You could be breaking a new federal law. As…

From actor Jon Voight, an interesting question: Is President Obama creating a civil war in our own country? I don’t know whether he is or not. But I do know that I am against civil war, and against anyone who wants to create one — whether Barack Obama or his enemies. Civil wars have a…

I don’t like the fact that Barack Obama has hiked the deficit to $9 trillion. And what the hell does it matter what the hell I like? Sometimes I don’t know what I find more annoying: the news or my annoyance with the news. Because it is the latter that triggers an annoying sense of…

Michael S. Malone looks at trust and betrayal, initially in the context of the failure of his Comcast service, but this causes him to reflect on why people distrust the government to manage life and and death issues: …nowhere is the burden of trust greater than when we enter into a relationship that requires us…

Mexico has legalized personal use of all kinds of currently illegal drugs. MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico enacted a controversial law on Thursday decriminalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs while encouraging government-financed treatment for drug dependency free of charge. The law sets out maximum “personal use” amounts for drugs,…

In what I assumed was a form of political escapism, I’ve been reading a great deal lately about Henry VIII — a cruel and tyrannical narcissistic Christianist theocrat if ever there was one. I’m into my fifth book dealing with the period, which sounds almost obsessive, and I’ve worried that I might be carrying my…

I know it’s not nice to insult people, and I try to be nice. Nor is it logical to engage in ad hominem rhetoric or stereotype people, and I try to be logical. I’m not always successful at living up to these standards, though. Sometimes I feel like letting loose, and usually I check myself.…

While I try to avoid writing posts when I have no new or original observations to add, some things are so outrageous that I don’t mind saying the same thing that others are saying, and the fact that MSNBC had the gall to show a cropped image of a black man carrying a gun so…

I realize it’s not a contest, but earlier I contemplated this image from Gunzip that Glenn Reynolds linked: Most likely, such subversive ideas are Bill Whittle’s fault. But I share his distaste for the Obama logo, so I thought I ought to do at least try to do something. The logo is about change, right?…

There is a new book out called Marijuana is Safer: So Why Are We Driving People to Drink? which suggests that switching people from alcohol to pot could save lives. I haven’t read the book. But a former Police Chief has and has written a forward to the the book. Here is some of what…

There are ten Democrat Senators who are not happy about the “Climate Change” bill. Here is a bit of what they have to say: As Congress considers energy and climate legislation, it is important that such a bill include provisions to maintain a level playing field for American manufacturing. Manufacturing accounts for more than 10…
