While it sounds like something from a Tom Clancy novel, Malaysia Airlines flight 370, a fully loaded Boeing 777 has been missing for about a week. It is clear by now that it left the designated flight path. No ransom claims have been issued. No debris has been found. No black boxes or transponders have…

Please Explain This To Me
A convicted rapist sentenced to three life terms plus 51 years in prison has been arrested in Sacramento County for a parole violation, four years after his release.

Obama is for Democrats what Colin Powell was a few years ago for the Republicans; namely, at “tabula rasa.” Both men were initially popular…

These questions are things that I wish I had more time to write about on my blog. Why is it that every time Governor Schwarzenegger announces a new policy initiative, the media—for the sake of reporting both sides of the story—then refers to the Republican response to the governor’s proposal? Why do Border Patrol agents…
