Honest Outrage?
Tuesday, Jul 28, 2015

Looking at how the left consistently calls out the right about how it hates blacks and women and the LGBTQ community and how unacceptable it is that a baker won’t bake a cake for a same-sex couple – how is it they never have a strong word about their own?

Not One Person Fired
Monday, May 12, 2014

When I was a kid (yes, when a tablet device was an Etch A Sketch) my Dad advised me to get a job with AT&T or Edison or the government. Why?

The Busiest News Week in Years
Thursday, May 23, 2013

When thinking about what to write in 700 words or less, my head almost exploded. No, really.
