Sorry that this week’s post is a day late, but at least it’s not a dollar short.
I have been dealing with some pretty heavy personal stuff, which, thankfully, is now over, so it is a little shorter than I would like. I am hoping, though, that this post will lead to some good discussion [...]
I mentioned last week that homeschoolers in Vermont have been wrestling with the State Department of Education’s new interpretation of the recently revised Home Study statute.
I have been trying to think of a way to make this a story that is relevant to someone other than the small sub-set of Vermont homeschoolers who insist on [...]
In my last post, I said,
People – mostly liberals – talk about the Constitution being a living document. It was not meant to be for the very reason that Thompson brought up. Even though our times might be different, one thing has remained the same since the dawn of time, and that is human nature. [...]
Here’s an old political cartoon from the Cold War era. It’s amazing how the more things change, the more they stay the same. I can’t even believe this is still relevant, but it is.
Hat tip: Jeremy Ryan.
In this morning’s paper, there was an AP story about the inquiry, instigated by Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, into the financial records of several Christian ministries that preach the so-called “prosperity doctrine.”

The video was made by Bureaucrash. You can find out more about them here.
In the same spirit, there was a my turn in today’s [...]
Green Mountain Daily has uncovered allegations that the Vermont State Police are collecting pharmacy records in the state. So far, there has been no pharmacist on record, nor any other official on record in this story, so I don’t want to go off on a tirade here, but this is worth paying attention to.

Like some of you, I just received an e-mail from Christian Avard, aka Brattlerouser, about a lawsuit filed, in part, against iBrattleboro.
In it, he linked to an article in the Brattleboro Reformer about the suit.
The gist is that someone said something about someone else in a comment on iBrattleboro, so iBratt is named in the [...]

The podcast is up from my Channel 17 show last Friday.
I talk about inalienable (or unalienable, if you prefer) rights, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the philosophy of John Locke, compared to our current view of rights, or lack thereof, and the way that our rights have been eroded, listing several examples [...]
