One of the founding principles of American jurisprudence, the precept all defendants are entitled to competent representation. The impeachment trial which began today, is little more than a choreographed political persecution. The Governor was well advised to skip it, and head to the big apple to make the rounds of the talk shows, in hopes […]
When Vicky Cristina Barcelona won the Golden Globe for Best Comedy or Musical, I felt like Woody Allen had pulled a fast one on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association by slipping a drama with a few diverting scenes into a category otherwise filled with actual comedies (and the musical Mamma Mia!). Although certainly not a […]
It seems that there are almost no lows that individuals and companies will not go to to sell a product. Jaime Salcedo is living proof.

I am finally sitting down to blog again after flying across country last week and getting everything back in order again. While I was away, I managed to pick up the book Escape by Carolyn Jessop. Mrs. Jessop is a former member of the FLDS which is the Fundamentalist Church of Ladder Day Saints which […]
This shouldn’t really come as a surprise to anyone, we all knew one day someone would come out with something to legitimately make money off the death of this child. The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that a Jacksonville promotions company plans to sell a doll which will be called a tribute to little Caylee Anthony. […]
I am grateful for Wired Magazine jogging my memory about today’s ‘birthday’. It was today in 1983 that a revolutionary new piece of software Lotus 123 hit the store shelves. The IBM PC had hit the road in 1981, grossly underpowered, grossly over hyped, and grossly over priced, large companies had fallen in love with […]
I’ve started watching horror movies a lot lately. That’s mainly because I’ve burned through all the good free movies I get every month from Comcast. All that’s left is Wicked Little Things and Last House On The Left and other films along that line. So I watch them and then pretend that I really do […]
I’ve read that cavemen movies are supposed to be very anthropological and can be real expositions of the human condition and all that. I’ve only seen a couple and I’m not sure what I thought. Nonetheless, there’s one out now that certainly misses both of those points. Starting this January 20th, now available on DVD […]
Jana, Kevin, Daniel and Amber hear the dog’s growling inside the pawn shop. They all turn to Kevin and ask what they should do now. He suggests that they turn around and head home but Amber doesn’t go along with that. She digs into her purse and pulls out a beef jerky stick and with […]

The global cooling global warming climate change debate in this country has become so hysterical and full of “sky-is-falling” proclamations that it’s starting to sound like an argument over whether or not there is a god. I’m waiting for the day when Holy Crusaders of the Tree Huggers Brigade begin an inquisition of people who […]
Months ago, we had hope for our friends in Zimbabwe. But every week, reports coming out are worse. The talks between the government of President Mugabe and the opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai are “stalled”, and often reporters seem to think this means both sides are at fault. After all, essentially the government is not working […]
The families of three men who died from asbestos related diseases have been awarded a combined total of $4.3 million by a jury in California. The lawsuit for wrongful death had named the defendant as Plant Insulation Company, which supplied various pipe insulation products containing the deadly carcinogenic, asbestos.

From Churchill’s Parrot blog. After years of unabashed advocacy of the DNC agenda, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops are now scrambling to prevent the Democrat Congress and the Obama Administration from making the most radical pro-abortion legislation in history, the law of the land.
