Seeing in the Boston bombing though the filter of preexisting prejudice

By Mark | April 16, 2013

By Mark | January 16, 2013

The gun control debate in the United States went into overdrive today, as the President, surrounded by children who had written letters to the White House about gun violence, called on Congress “to renew a prohibition on assault weapons sales that expired in 2004, require criminal background checks on all gun purchases, including closing a [...]

Alex Jones and James Yeager present common sense solutions to the epidemic of gun violence in America

By Mark | January 12, 2013

While I’ve told you what I believe, I’ve admittedly done an insufficient job of presenting the well-reasoned arguments of my fellow Americans [...]

I learned this a few days ago, while listening to a special episode of Glenn Beck’s radio program about a secret UN initiative to deal with the looming threats [...]

The Twinkie defense… Is management or labor is less deserving of the blame in the Hostess liquidation?

By Mark | November 19, 2012

A few days ago, upon hearing that Hostess Brands Inc. was going out of business, I posted the following, assuming that it would just be a matter of time before folks on the right started floating conspiracy theories involving Michelle Obama and her “nanny state” jihad against junk food. As my friend Steve Cherry quickly [...]
