You may recall where Rhode Island’s had left off: the General Assembly had passed a referendum specific to Lincoln and Newport which the Gov had then vetoed, citing its excess of site specificity and its dearth of fiscal detail. While I strongly support voter referenda, and have spoken in favor of questions being put to…
A couple of weeks ago, President Obama week showed off an expensive electric car with a short driving range and a nice taxpayer subsidy. On a tangential but important issue, Slate’s Charles Lane is correctly not happy about the latter aspect of this vehicle. … this little runabout is a rich man’s ride. And that’s…
Via Breitbart. Taiwanese TV seems to really enjoy making these anime shorts based on political and cultural issues in the USA. Here is their latest offering.
True to their misguided word in their lawsuit against Arizona that they lacked the resources to enforce our borders, the Obama administration has ordered ICE to cut way back on (Joe B, correct me if this is wrong) non-felony violations of our border. The new guidelines are outlined in a June 29 memo from Assistant…

Then the next day, pierced brains. – Jane Lane The following is highlighted as a probably mostly unneeded (for A.R. readers) public service message regarding the health hazards of a pierced tongue. People with tongue piercings risk developing gaps between their front teeth as a result of playing with…
If this survives its legal challenges and becomes our national healthcare system, perhaps they’ll give us breadcrumbs or string to navigate. By the way, kudos to 71% of Missouri voters for boldly (but possibly non-bindingly) turning thumbs down on this idea Tuesday. [Compiled by Republicans on the Congressional Joint Economic Committee.]
When, last October, the House Ethics Committee placed Congressman Charles Rangel in exactly the same spot that Speaker Gingrich found himself fourteen years earlier, Congresswoman Maxine Waters observed “What happens is, unfortunately with the requirements for disclosure that we all have, mistakes are made,” she said. “And you do get a chance to correct them.…
Justin’s post announcing Arruda and Durfee’s despicable lawsuit against Dave Nelson here. The following press release from the defendant was in my in-box this morning. Note well the second paragraph describing a demand that Dave rat out his fellow concerned citizens, apparently for the crime of behaving like … concerned citizens. A principle of democracy…
