“As a broker in the health insurance business, I loved your article on the insanity of health insurance for all. Let me tell you what happened to me.
I needed an MRI for a shoulder injury. Well, knowing approximately what MRIs cost due to my wife having one six months earlier, I asked […]
Ok, I’m a month late on this, but this awesome commencement address at Butler University from Indiana governor Mitch Daniels deserves mention:
Along with most of your faculty and parents, I belong to the most discussed, debated and analyzed generation of all time, the so-called Baby Boomers. By the accepted definition, the youngest of us is […]
I’m more inclined to agree with the first post here, but StudentActivism.net makes a good point that this case was about an injunction, not about the merits of the speech itself. Still, I can’t see how anyone could side with the high school on any issue related to this case.

Interesting article. Clearly math is to blame for the financial crisis:

Call it the “War on Christmas” or call it political correctness run amok, or perhaps assume that this reletively minor holiday next week just slipped their mind, but this is absolutely ridiculous. Next week NYRA will be recruiting at an activism fair at Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, MD. So I went […]
Telling it like it is.
Conservatism’s current intellectual chaos reverberated in the Republican ticket’s end-of-campaign crescendo of surreal warnings that big government — verily, “socialism” — would impend were Democrats elected. John McCain and Sarah Palin experienced this epiphany when Barack Obama told a Toledo plumber that he would “spread the wealth around.”
America can’t have that, […]
I knew that any positive feeling I had over Obama’s election would fade, but I didn’t expect it to start to fade into disappointment so soon. His first act as President-elect was to name Rahm Emmanuel as his Chief of Staff. Ugh. Non-youth rights supporters should be disappointed in this pick as […]
My day began watching MSNBC and CNN for election coverage. Watching Obama take like 15 minutes to fill out his ballot (yikes, is the IL ballot that complicated, or was he just taking his time knowing the cameras were on him?) Funny note during the show, Bill Ayers came in to vote at […]
