Convicted Sex Offender Acquitted
23 April 2007Accused rapist and convicted sex offender Kenneth Hinson has been acquitted of the abduction and rape of two South Carolina teenagers.

Navy Tragedy
21 April 2007I am a huge fan of military air shows. The most recent air show at the Charleston Air Force Base was a wonderful event and my family had a great time there. So the tragic crash today of a Navy F/A-18 from the Blue Angels squadron, flying an air show in Beaufort, SC, saddens me [...]
Reid Between the Lines
21 April 2007Sorry but I stole that headline from Family Research Council. Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, has said the decision by the Supreme Court to uphold the federal partial birth abortion ban should have included O’Connor instead of Alito. The clear implication is that it would have been decided the other way under such circumstances. But [...]

The claim is that if we can just get guns out of people’s hands, senseless violence like this can be averted. This is a typical knee jerk reaction fueled entirely by emotion rather than reasoned assessment. [...]
Duke Lacrosse Players Innocent!
11 April 2007Commentators expected a statement that there was not enough evidence to prosecute the case. Instead, the AG said: We believe these cases were a result of a tragic rush to accuse and failure to verify serious allegations. Based on the significant inconsistencies in the evidence and the various accounts given by the accusing witness, we [...]

11 April 2007In a surprise call to the Bill O’Reilly radio show today, Tony Snow said he does not have liver cancer. Snow was reluctant to go into details because he thought he would “mess it up” but he said that his live and his blood are clear. This is good news indeed. Tony Snow is a [...]
