End of an Error: Canadian gun registry to be dismantled

by Jim Shepherd It was a government boondoggle from the very beginning. It cost multiples of the budgeted funding, ran years behind in development, caused nothing but problems for law-abiding citizens and, as it has come to an inauspicious end, has failed to save even one life. Sounds like business-as-usual in Washington, doesn't it? Fortunately, this boondoggle wasn't "made in America" it was...

After Bloomberg's latest antics, it's time to take the gloves off

by Tim Inwood I will tolerate these idiots in silence no more. Perhaps it is a passage of time issue that eventually the curmudgeon gene emerges and takes hold in most men. I find the older I get the less patience I have with idiots. Nor do I have the desire to be tactful in expressing my views about them. I let it all hang out these days, just like the late Andy Rooney. This is exactly the...

Boehner allegations fast & furious, but also false

by Sean Maloney In recent days allegations have been made in a number of Internet publications that Speaker of the House John Boehner was somehow sabotaging the Fast and Furious probe.
