Director Roman Polanski has begun his house arrest, on $4.5 million bail, in the Swiss chalet he’s long owned. Polanski was arrested by Swiss police earlier this fall on a three decade-old sex charge and is still under possible extradition to Los Angeles. Polanski was working on The Ghost, [...]
Today marks the 135th anniversary of the birth of the greatest man of the century concluded now nearly a decade ago. On November 30, 1874, Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill was born at Blenheim Palace. His father was Lord Randolph Churchill, his mother the former Jennie Jerome, the second daughter of [...]
Wall Street Cheat Sheet gives this prestigious award to the man who without him, the financial collapse could not have happened – Alan (”I heart Ayn Rand”) Greenspan.
The video explains that Ayn Rand would have detested what Greenspan did, as he was constantly meddling with the markets and [...]
Clearly, this is the blogosphere-story-of-the-year (if not decade). It matters not that the Mainstream Media is covering up this scandal, the free-wheeling democratized Internet is getting the information out.
Here’s another great summary from Robert Tracinski at RealClearPolitics:
For more than a decade, we’ve been told that there is a scientific [...]

Well, he didn’t really say that. But he wrote a law review article that concluded that if you can carry it, you can bear it (Constitutionally). Which means the decades old ban on automatic weapons should [...]
The Rose Institute’s “The 2010 Census: Congressional Reapportionment” study was cited in an article in the Sacramento Bee by Dan Walters discussing Congressional Redistricting in 2011.
Were congressional redistricting to follow changes in population during this decade, the Rose study determined, it would shift some seats from slow-growing Democratic [...]
This is just too delicious to ignore. Recall the conventional wisdom of the better part of the last decade about then-President George W. Bush’s supposedly go-it-alone foreign policy and how that man antagonized our allies. This silly notion was all based on the failure of two of our allies, France [...]
