A New Reason to Get in Shape

February 29, 2012
fit 1

Being fit could potentially become a very effective act of civil disobedience. Obamacare, after all, is just around the corner – and almost certain to be found (cough) “constitutional” by the high priests of unlimited federal authority over at the Volksgerichsthof (Supreme Court). Once that happens, we will all be be required to tithe...

The Disappearing Passing Zone

yello lead

The incidental annoyances that make life in this increasingly less free society less and less enjoyable continue to expand and multiply. The disappearance of the lawful passing zone is one such. They’ve never been common. Now they’re becoming scarce. Have you noticed it, too? Stretches of road with good sight lines, no alarming upsurge...

When Americans Gave a Damn…

February 27, 2012

This 1987 PBS documentary is fascinating because although the same stuff is happening today, back then, people gave a damn – and even the culprits seemed capable of shame, or at least, could be backed into a corner and forced to admit what they had done and pretend to  be sorry about it:

air bag one

Air bags – driver and front seat passenger air bags – have been mandatory in cars since the mid 1990s. That means there are now millions of older cars on the road with air bags. These air bags are ticking time bombs, financially speaking (and otherwise; more on that below) because of the ever-less-favorable...

2012 Kia Optima Hybrid

Hybrid math is hard to calculate because the variables are still in flux and very subjective. Consider the 2012 Kia Optima hybrid. The base price of this car is $25,700 vs. $19,500 for the base non-hybrid Optima. That’s a difference of $6,200 – a very large difference, up front. But the hybrid Optima gets...

Santorum Loves Him Some Chimp

WASHINGTON – In 2006, Rick Santorum was decisively tossed out of his Senate seat in Pennsylvania by 18 points, in a wave election where Democrats romped largely because of President George W. Bush’s unpopularity. Six years later, Santorum is running for Bush’s old job, but the former president is still a weight around his...

brutal 1

One word – no. It used to be a word that carried a lot of weight. Not just morally but also – and critically – legally. You could say no to cop and, provided he didn’t have a warrant issued by a judge – or at the least, some specific probable cause that would...

Virginia Citizens Defense League just sent me the following:  Last Thursday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to answer questions about his role in the deadly “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal. However, instead of answers, Congress got more defiance, more arrogance, and more wasted time with...
