But from whom did he inherit [...]
Rodger Hedgecock tells it like it is:
This is the year. We are the People. Generations of leftist leaders have bankrupted the government, poisoned our culture, turned a free press into government propaganda and divided the American people. Election 2010 is judgment day for the left.
Like an avalanche that [...]
We should be amazed at the wisdom some of our people have acquired in just the last year or so.

Professor Newquist's recent reply to me presents a strong case, but my Keloland colleague seems to see only one side of the question. We agree that people have a right to be protected against defamation and that this right requires that violators be held [...]
Hip-Hop Version of KEYNES vs. HAYEK
If you are not familiar with John Maynard Keynes and Freidrich A. Hayek, you need to change that.
The theories of these economists are locked in mortal combat in D.C. these days…but then again, what else is new?

I recently read a story to which I will not link. My reason for doing so will become evident shortly.
The gist of the matter was that a horrible crime is alleged. The news organization finds someone else in the same neighborhood (not the alleged victim) who is willing to provide [...]

Okay, I'll admit it, I went first to Michael Barone to see how competitive John Murtha's district is. The answer: very. It is the only Congressional district to vote for John Kerry and John McCain.
I suggest that the Republicans choose a competent and attractive candidate, named John.
' [...]Anyone find that offensive.
I didn’t.
In the words of Colin Cowherd this morning on his radio show: “The only people that would find that commercial offensive is the guy that works at Starbucks with the black hair and the big hole in his ear because he already hates his [...]
GOP candidates tout cash, connections in competitive primary race
If money means victory in a statewide campaign, Chris Nelson has some work to do between now and the June 8 primary election.

Here's a Superbowl ad for Audi (Facebook people click here):I’ve often felt that a missing part of Richard Florida’s Creative Class theory has been a lack of emphasis on creative individuals who work in non-creative industries. For those unfamiliar, Florida believes that cities must compete for talent because individuals who belong to the “creative class” drive our economy. [...]
"Must Reads" were a popular daily post back in the South Dakota Watch days. The only problem is that they can take quite a while to compile.
I thought I’d share the note I passed on to the legislators who sit on the House State Affairs Committee, just for your information. Of course, now that I post it I see a grammatical error or two I should have corrected, but, “it is what [...]
In the interest of fairness, I thought I’d run down those who are posting on-line in the SD Blogposphere who seem to be embracing the measures proposed in the Hamiel/Turbak-Berry Blog Control Act.
