  • Mandating financial literacy

    —Tertium Quids

    Number of comments: 1

  • At Least They're Being Honest

    —From On High

  • They See What They Want To See

    —From On High

    Randall Hoven on the religious zealots of the environmental movement:

  • Well, The Lawyers Will Benefit

    —From On High

    It ain't over yet.  The EPA can do its best to destroy this country in its relentless attempt to save us from ourselves, but the opposition is starting to organize.  And it has money:
