Liar, Liar

In case you missed it, last week at a conference in Europe, a Pfizer representative admitted that the company never bothered to test whether or not their COVID vackseen prevents the transmission of the disease to others. The Conservative press picked up the story and ran with it.  The headlines

On the Knows

Did you ever notice how some words change their meaning over time?  And how some words can end up meaning the opposite of what they once did? The word “bad” is a prime example of that.  “Bad” used to mean “not good”.  Over time, it changed so “bad” actually meant

Roe v. Wade v. Guns

This country would be a whole lot better off if people bought into the concept of individual accountability.  Somewhere along the line, we’ve become a nation that blames things for the actions of the people using them, instead of blaming the people for their actions. Before we get started, I

Solving the Homeless Problem

Governments everywhere have a bad habit of slapping a coat of paint on something and then pointing at it as some grand accomplishment.  When, in reality, nothing changed. Take the homeless problem for example.  A few years ago, there was a big deal made of some local government agency here

Broken Hearted

It used to be that a story about an athlete dropping dead on the playing field was big news.  Now it happens so often that it’s starting to become background noise.  Think about it.  Two years ago, we might hear one, maybe two stories a year about people dying while
