Our Woefully Lost Wisdom

April 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Originally published in “The Life of Colonel David Crockett,” by Edward Sylvester Ellis.
One day in the House of Representatives a bill was taken up appropriating money for the benefit of a widow of a distinguished naval officer. Several beautiful speeches had been made in its support. The speaker was just about to put the question [...]

Marshal Law in the U.S.? Don’t Scoff t0o Quickly.

March 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I was sent this link along with some details about what went on behind closed doors during the closed Congresssional hearings last Friday — only the 6th time in our nation’s history — which suggested Congress had a lot more to talk about than just protecting the telecoms from a few lawsuits filed for being [...]

Antitrust Laws and Regulation: A Boon to Monopolies

February 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Above is a worthy discussion about the anti-consumer / pro big and connected business fraud that is anti-monopoly legislation with Ron Paul. While the video is some 25 years old, the content is perfectly valid today (if not also a testament to the consistency of Ron Paul since then).
A great myth perpetuated by [...]

Wecht Defense Sample

February 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment

“Under a brisk flurry of questions during cross-examination by defense attorney Mark Rush, Mr. Rabickow said he never complained about the backlog, never discussed it with Dr. Wecht or Mr. Hollis, and saw Dr. Wecht in the office only when the former coroner “popped his head in” looking for Mr. Hollis.”

Caliguiri Whoop de Doo…

February 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I read with some humor David Caliguiri’s Opinion 250 response to Chad Herman’s comments in the Post Gazette from last week. (For those who don’t know, the PG is running its Opinion 250 to encourage ideas about Pittsburgh’s future at its 250th anniversary…)
Caliguiri’s intends to build on Herman’s comments — which meander around the [...]

Wecht So Far…

February 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment

[Update 2-10-2008: Looks like we got picked up by the Post Gazette on this one!]
I’ve been following the case so far, and as best I can tell — Wecht appears pretty damned guilty of what he’s accused.
The defense appears to have the following as its rebuttal:

So he bilked a few grand here and there? [...]

Alarming Police State Behavior in Ohio

February 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment

This is downright scary. It all starts at the voting booth. Stop the police state mentality. The war on drugs. The war on this or that.
Of course, if you want to have troops in 100 nations, and you want to dictate to the rest of the world how they should live, you [...]
