By now most of us have heard about the murder yesterday of doctor George Tiller while he attended a church service in Wichita, Kansas. The man police have arrested, Scott Roeder, is alleged to have murdered Dr. Tiller because he provided medical care, including late-term abortions, at his clinic. ...

Literally. This newest John Galt gimmick is sort of a cross between Atlas Shrugged and Waterworld.
I like Ayn Rand as much as the next person. Who could read The Fountainhead and not be rooting for Howard Roark to stomp all over those faceless one-dimensional conformists who kept holding him ...

Are you tired of having your life dictated by a bunch of simple Puritans who think the Earth is 6,000 years old?
Don’t despair. Progress is slowly (or make that slo-o-o-o-o-wly) being made.
On this date in 1923, the U.S. Attorney General ruled that it’s now legal for women to wear ...

Last week I took a trip to France. When I got home I proceeded to tell people about my trip. As I was telling someone about the trip she had a very bipolar response. “How wonderful to have the opportunity to visit Paris -- not that I like the French.”

But now they promise not to do it any more.
And speaking of rendering and ...

You’ve gotta check out this video. If you don’t have time to watch it right now (it’s five minutes long) please bookmark it for later. Everybody — including YOU — needs to have their personal belief systems and comfort zones pulled and stretched and twisted beyond recognition. ...

On the morning of Wednesday, January 21, 2009, an elderly man approaches a Marine sentry in front of the White House, looks around, and pauses.
“Excuse me, young man,” he says, “I would like to speak with Mr. George W. Bush, please.”
The Marine replies, “Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer the ...

A moment of schadenfreude. One of the victims of Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme is the International Olympic Committee. They could lose up to $5 million. Greed meets greed.
Now, I like the Olympics as much as the next person. The anal retentive schmucks that run the International ...

“Who?” I don’t know how much fame or publicity Ellie Nesler got outside of California. If you ever saw A Time To Kill — she did in real life what Samuel L. Jackson did in that movie.
In April 1993, Ellie Nesler shot and killed Daniel Driver in a ...

I admit it. I don’t do holidays very well. In fact, I forget most of them - as I do with my own birthday - if I wasn’t reminded by getting a day off. I’m not sure, but I think tomorrow is one of those days, so I felt it ...
