DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Danica Patrick’s bikini photos were uninjured after a 12-car accident ended this weekend’s Daytona International Speedway NASCAR debut for the pinup hottie known as “The Anna Kournikova of Auto Racing.” Patrick was in 21st place when she was caught in a four-way Rule 5 blog pileup involving Lance Burri, Donald Douglas, Bob […]

Would You Hire The Head Alcoholic From Your Local AA Chapter To Manage The Adult Beverage Store?

by Smitty Rick Moran gives a great apology for Representative Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) plan, as reviewed in Forbes by Bruce Bartlett to do something, anything, about the federal debt. Working off the dead horse by the end of the next 70 years is indeed noble.

Evolution, Anthropogenic Global Warming and Other Non-Falsifiable Theories

Michael Walsh at Big Journalism takes on MSNBC’s bizarre claim that the D.C. blizzard proves that climate-change skeptics are wrong: MSNBC apparently borrowed their talking points from the New York Times which, as Walsh notes, invoked the authority of “most climate scientists” for the assertion that climate change caused the massive snowstorm.
