TIME has an entertaining article about the Vermont primary.
Thomas Naylor, a former Duke economics professor who now leads the state’s fledgling secession movement, John McLaughry, a former state legislator and Reagan administration advisor who runs the free-market Ethan Allen Institute, and University of Vermont political science professor Garrison Nelson are featured.
Here a few choice quotes [...]
Did you read the story about the case in Texas where the hospital wants to discontinue treatment for a 17-month-old terminally ill child against the unanimous wishes of the family?
I am not going to retell it, but you can read it here.
There are so many angles to this story, I almost don’t know where to [...]
I take one little, long-weekend break from blogging and all sorts of unexpected things happen.
Burlington Pol took an intermission, Homocon – one of my fav., non-local, conservative blogs – did an entire post linking to She’s Right (it’s in my Friday Morning Coffee, so I missed it last week), and my favorite blogger, VDB, aided [...]

Clay Moore’s mother and stepfather don’t want to think about what might have happened if they hadn’t made him repair his ripped school uniform jacket instead of buying him a new one.
A safety pin [...]
Let’s dispense with the discussion about whether or not global warming is indeed caused by man and warranting of a political solution.
Let’s, for the purpose of this post, assume that (1) the earth is indeed warming to the point that it will be disastrous to life as we know it, if it isn’t stopped, and [...]
Okay, this is my last post on Global Warming, or else I am going to have to make a category for it.
So, today, everyone was gushing over the announcement that Rep. Peter Welch is off-setting the carbon output of his DC office.

A Vermont company allows you to compute the carbon footprint of your household based [...]
Update (3:45 pm)
I came across this interesting piece on global warming today. I thought I would post it in honor of the anonymous commenter on this post yesterday.
Global Warming, as we think we know it, doesn’t exist. And I am not the only one trying to make people open up their eyes and see [...]
Not that I needed another reason to think that the Livable Wage Campaign is a complete joke, but I have one anyway.
