Dramastically Misunderestimated

I used to hate listening to George W. Bush (the son) talk.  I found his speeches cringeworthy.  Literally.  I would listen to him say something stupid and I would actually cringe.  He was famous for butchering the English language. His grammar was horrendous and he would sometimes make up words

In Defense of “Assault Rifles”

Each time some whacko goes off the rails and kills a few people, there are more calls to ban “assault rifles”. Because, apparently, they’re a huge problem. The Liberal assertion is that if we banned “assault rifles”, we’d save a whole bunch of lives. Let’s see how big of a

Fast Train to Nowhere

You probably don’t remember, but there’s a high-speed rail project being built here in California.  And you’re helping to pay for it.  The bullet train is/was supposed to eventually connect Los Angeles to San Francisco by way of the Central Valley.  For those of you not familiar with California geography,

Evil Genius Billionaires

About 20 years ago, I was working at a small, growing company that had just passed the 100-employee mark.  At a dinner to celebrate the event, one of the board members remarked, “Well, now you have one of everything.”  I gave him an inquisitive look, so he continued, “With 100
