•$10 per extra gallon of ethanol.

Most Americans would imagine that if a homeowner is accosted in her own home by an outsider, the homeowner would be justified in arming herself. In fact, most Americans would think it a right… seeing as how there’s that whole Second Amendment and all.
Well apparently there are neither any Americans nor [...]

The government is over spent. This single fact is beyond dispute. Even Democrats say so. We have but to recall that Democrat after Democrat attempted to run for office this last election by claiming fealty to small government, cost cutting, and lower spending.

In a new study, UNL researchers measured both liberals’ and conservatives’ reaction to “gaze cues” — a [...]

In a letter to the 137 public school superintendents, the group reminded them that holiday celebrations focusing primarily on one religious holiday [That wouldn't be Christmas, would it?] amount to a school’s unconstitutional endorsement of religion.
