Via Tim Lambert It appears that both pseudoscientific gun researchers and pseodoscientific intelligent design proponents tend to fake Amazon reviews. Groan. Sigh. Why?
Illinois, From the Colder Prairie Now
Via Tim Lambert It appears that both pseudoscientific gun researchers and pseodoscientific intelligent design proponents tend to fake Amazon reviews. Groan. Sigh. Why?
Let’s say that the administration would attempt a smear on a critics sexual orientation to defend itself against that critic’s charges. Would that strategy: A) Be Preposterous B) Be Beyond Ridiculous-no one would ever do it C) Have the potential to boomerang D) Cause everyone to drop their jaws and stare at their stupidity in […]
We no longer have to ask as the best posters from talk.origins have joined the blogosphere in a fantastic undertaking: The Panda’s Thumb Contributors to talk.origins who I recognize are: Wesley R. Elsberry PZ Myer (who owns his own blog) Ian Musgrave John Wilkins Dave Thomas I’m sure some of the others have spent some […]
Via Josh Marshall NBC News reports U.S. officials told NBC News that the full record of Clarke?s testimony two years ago would not be declassified. They said that at the request of the White House, however, the CIA was going through the transcript to see what could be declassified, with an eye toward pointing out […]
It helps to have an excellent writer profile you who happens to like you a lot. I find the most interesting to be his ability to analyze legislation In retrospect, that walk through the political shadows proved a turning point in Obama’s career. He recommitted himself to the Illinois Senate, where his intelligence and his […]
On the one hand we have a web site done by 1871 Media, a quite good on-line company that does sites such as Georgia’s Political Vine, The Illinois House Republicans, Jack Ryan for Senate, Chris Lauzen’s site, and the Illinois Leader. They produce the Illinois GOP site. On the other, we have the Illinois Democratic […]
OneMan is also running a good series on what Republican candidates should have done differently in the primary. The last is Jim Oberweis with the others linked from that entry. I hope he’ll continue to some of the others. I was thinking of the same for the Dems, but I think it is obvious so […]
Via OneMan Public lactation must be allowed and lactation consultants must be covered by insurance. One no vote. Unlike OneMan, I really don’t respect Lauzen, but I’m not sure his opposition is that horrible. I’m guessing he doesn’t like adding requirements to insurance. In the sense that issue by issue addition creates problems I agree […]
The court case the Tribune brought to unseal Jack Ryan’s custody papers for his 9 year old son has been sent to a court referee to figure out what items should remain sealed to protect the child and what documents refer to simple disputes between Ryan and his ex-wife Jeri Ryan. The telling part is […]
Blagojevich will sign a bill allowing 18 year olds to get an Firearm Owner Identification Card. The change in the law makes sense. 18 year olds with an FOID can already by long guns. They will still be prohibited from buying handguns, but now they simply don’t have to have parental permission for getting the […]
Not only do I pontificate here, but I have a couple other venues. The most common of those is a local St. Louis paper where I write on educational reform in the Saint Louis Public Schools. This week I have an article on the current fiscal condition of the District and the options available. There […]
And another advertiser comes on board with the Capitol Net hawking a bunch of practical books for political junkies. On top of that though are those who have been with us for a while–to the right is a picture of Barack that goes to his donation page and web site take a look at that. […]
Who would have thought someone named Madigan could play hardball so well against insiders and do so for the citizens of Illinois. Stephens is the ultimate combine guy so while he is nominally a Republican, he is happy to help out Democrats when it suits his needs. He helped Blagojevich and has helped the Madigans […]
Well, actually he was a gifted prosecutor who rose to fame and the Governor’s Office by attacking corruption in Illinois. Unfortunately, 14 years in the Mansion and 14 more as a rainmaker appear to have deadened his skills at cross-examination. His cross examination of Clarke was a disaster. You can try and call it just […]
For those who have read ArchPundit for a long time, you will remember my penchant for looking down the game tree before choosing a strategy. The phrase comes game theory, but essentially is shorthand for thinking through what will happen once you act. How will others respond is the key thing to think about in […]
