From New Zealand, a couple of miscreants were trying to escape from the long arm of the law whilst being transferred from jail to prison. Unfortunately, the two were manacled together and when they encountered an obstacle in the form of a light pole. Sadly for the two, they couldn’t talk and run, so they […]
This article is the finest evidence I’ve ever seen supporting the idea that collectivism is the political expression of the rule of mediocrity. Exceptionalism doesn’t fit into the scheme of collectivism with it’s focus on the the masses. The story is about how the British state run schools are mounting opposition to programmes to provide […]
Well, the dust has settled on the gubernatorial career of Rod Blagojevich and he’s been bounced out of office by the Illinois Senate. It was a 59-0 vote that put him out of his misery after three days of high-profile whining on whatever TV shows would give him the time. He came back to the […]

It’s all about how people are converging on Clear Lake, Iowa, the small town in which Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens last performed before their fateful fatal plane flight to ‘commemorate’ the 50th anniversary of the event. C’mon - who really cares? Three rock and […]
This opinion piece presents proof that when put together in a mash-up of lefty-looney causes, it is possible for one bad idea plus another bad idea to result in an idea that is worse than just the sum of the two original bad ideas. First the backstory: our dear friends at the NHS over in […]
Over at The Smoking Gun I found this story about a woman in Jessup Iowa who was actually booked into the town jail for ripping off the library for a $13.95 book. Yes, the library deserves protection, and yes, it is wrong for anyone to just steal public property. But booking her into jail? It […]
