by
Vin Suprynowicz
Halloween approaches, the day when many an American parent will suit up the little ones in black robes, matching 17th century conical hats, and oversized warty noses, sending them off to delight the neighbors with this impersonation of a witch, as tr

Vin Suprynowicz
Supporters of President Bush may flirt with gloom in the face of the president’s withdrawal of the Supreme Court nomination of his friend and counsel -- and longtime former Democrat -- Harriet Miers.

IT CAME DOWN TO ONE MARINE
by
Vin Suprynowicz
On Nov. 15, 2003, an 85-year-old retired Marine Corps colonel died of congestive heart failure at his home in La Quinta, Calif., southeast of Palm Springs.

ONE MORE WORD ON: VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
by
Rachel Gluck
There is no neutral ground. Whether it happens at home or on the job, if you choose to take a neutral stance because you think that both your friends (or family members) can “sort it out themselves, like adults,” you are siding with the abusive pers

Vin Suprynowicz
Despite the Constitution, only in Vermont (and now Alaska) do Americans not need to fear arrest and jail if they carry a concealed firearm without a government “permit.”
So, wishing to do their part to keep the crime rate down (John Lott and Pro

It wasn’t all that long ago that I had the opportunity to witness a true political spectacle. It was fairly early in the morning, yet a well-dressed crowd had gathered at the distinguished Goldwater Institute to hear the pros and cons on going forwa

Sometimes I just can’t help but think that I must have followed Miss Alice through the looking glass. But even Wonderland has changed. You used to be able to count on ‘up’ being ‘down’, ‘black’ being ‘white’, ‘yes’ meaning ‘no’ and of course, their

Come Fly With Me….

“Security or Freedom” seems to be the popular phrase of the day in regards to what our response to the attacks on America should be. Most will tell us that the two are mutually exclusive.

A friend suggested we try the new “Triple George” white-tablecloth restaurant -- wedged between Hogs & Heifers and the equally new “Celebrity” drag-queen lip-sync joint on Third Street near Ogden, in downtown Las Vegas -- late last month.

WITH BOTTOMLESS TAXPAYER FUNDING, FEDS MAKE MISERABLE ACTUARIES
by
Vin Suprynowicz
Insurance is a wonderful invention of the free market.
Owners of properties which face a reasonably predictable chance of loss -- ships’ cargoes, for instance -- voluntarily pay some portion of that value to an insurer.

IN CALIFORNIA, THE HOUSEHOLD GUARD LAUNCH A QUIET COUP
by
Vin Suprynowicz
In the face of soaring rates and brown-outs, the gerrymandered and ultra-leftist California Legislature panicked and pulled the plug on an electric deregulation scheme which was half-hearted (and thus largely foredoomed) in the first place.

There are ribbons for AIDS/HIV awareness, breast cancer, supporting our troops, and even our religions (yes, I have seen the red bracelets for Christians saying that Jesus is their savior). The most irksome thing about all this is that the most impo

Across Europe, women are bearing fewer than the 2.07 children apiece which are necessary to maintain population levels (excluding immigration) in peacetime.
