What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Lots, I’m afraid: Since Gov. Jerry Brown assumed office in January 2011, a record number of inmates with life sentences are winning parole. Brown has allowed the release of nearly 1,400 lifers, while going along with the parole board about 82 percent of the time. . . . More than 80 percent of lifers are […]

The UK Left’s Pro-Pedophile Past

You might think polyester bell-bottoms, disco music and shag haircuts were the worst thing about the 1970s. WRONG! The links that left Harriet Harman being forced to deny support for paedophiles date back nearly four decades when the Labour deputy leader was an official in the National Council for Civil Liberties.

Heh: @DaveWeigel Dismantles @PiersMorgan, But Good

We may laugh at the carnival sideshow aspect of women stripping down to their underwear […]

Good-Bye, and Good Riddance: @PiersMorgan Canned at CNN
