In response to 420 For the GOP: Iowahawk, I totally agree. And in the famous words of Andre 3,000, “Marijuana illegal but cigarettes cool, I might look kinda funny but I ain’t no fool.”  The GOP should take Cuccinelli’s lead.

It would seem that Virginia Attorney General and candidate for governor, Ken Cuccinelli thinks states should “experiment” (there’s a pun in there somewhere right?) with legalizing marihuana. “I don’t have a problem with states experimenting with this sort of thing. I think

In response to There Should Be Limits To Speech in the Classroom: Nolte– of course his comments are indefensible, hence my calling them disgraceful. I think one of the issues here is that I’ve been largely anesthetized to this type

With all the talk surrounding the attacks on the Second Amendment, little attention is being paid to the First.  Former “Teacher of the Year,” and Alabama high school football coach, Bob Grisham, has been suspended for ten days without pay

It’s amazing what you learn when you look back.  Sixty years ago today, Autherine J. Lucy became the first black student to be admitted to the University of Alabama. However, Lucy was suspended just three days later because the threats

As promised, I captured some footage of Florida gun show vendors and participants.  Meet Ashley. She has been a gun show vendor for years and has “never seen it as packed as this.” I asked her why she thought it

Who loves Ice cream? Well, 116 years ago today, inventor and business man, Alfred L. Cralle was granted U.S. patent #576395 guaranteeing the rights to his invention of the ice cream scoop. Cralle was bothered by how difficult ice cream was to dispense and came up

In response to Chicago gangsters obviously don’t listen to their elders: I know, John. And what’s even worse is that the so-called “Killing Season” that used to be the dangerous summer months where most of Chicago’s homicides occurred, is now

Apparently, gun downed honor student Hadiya Pendleton was in the “wrong place at the wrong time.”  Newser: The Chicago teen who was killed days after performing in President Obama’s inauguration may have simply been in the “wrong place at the

That’s right. Rapper, 50 Cent is about to get animated for Fox. Soon your children could be watching a show based on the childhood of gangsta rapper 50 cent (Curtis Jackson). Soon to be slated for a pilot, the project follows a

The United States economy contracted in the forth quarter of 2012. Most analysts had higher expectations. Me, not so much. I’m smart enough to know that our president is the guy who was willing to be reduced to his race

As the gun control debate rages on, some serious conservatives and others have called for legislation that would deal with the mentally ill. However, for instance, Chicago newspaper headlines like “Ronnie Chambers, 33, is the fourth child Shirley Chambers has lost

Discouraging scorekeeping wasn’t enough for high-minded elites looking to bring fairness to the competitive world of little league football. No. The crusade to diminish the meanness that comes with losing is out. In is the question of whether America’s moral
