Illinois Taxpayers Lose Super Bowl

If you thought the Broncos sucked — and, wow, they were atrocious Sunday — check out this stupid TV ad: Illinois taxpayers spent $127,000 to air that idiotic ad on the Chicago Fox affiliate during the Super Bowl: Things are not well in the Land of Lincoln. Illinois taxpayers are burdened by $7 billion in […]

This Should Not Be Necessary

Headline at Patterico: No, Extending Unemployment Benefits Does Not “Create Jobs” The basic economics of this should be obvious — it’s simple common sense — but ignorance of basic economics is rampant and common sense is increasingly rare, and so Patterico feels obliged to rebut this fallacy promoted by You Know Who: “Voting for extending […]

Amanda Bynes Returns to Sanity?

When the former Nickelodeon starlet had a very public nervous breakdown last year, I feared the worst. The prognosis for chronic schizophrenia — which is what the reported symptoms suggested — is not encouraging. The farther the disorder progresses before the patient gets treatment, the less likely recovery is, and by the time a judge […]

There have been reports of […]

They pick an issue — from atomic energy to abortion, from global warming to gay marriage — and declare that people who disagree with […]

My Brother Shut Down Atlanta?

Cosmic fate: My brother Kirby was trapped on I-285 during the big weather-induced disaster in Atlanta. He had to get his driver’s license renewed, which required him to go to the Department of Vital Records — on the east side of town near Buford Highway — to get a copy of his birth certificate.
