I saw this story linked over on Facebook and thought it was time to revist question. Preston Gralla over on ComputerWorld reports that Google, although fined $25,000 dollars a few days ago over an issue related to this question, is maintaining that it did nothing illegal when it “snooped” though multitudes of WiFi networks. The [...]
Rick Santorum has officially withdrawn from the GOP nomination race: GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum said Tuesday he is suspending his campaign. He made the announcement at the Gettysburg Hotel in Gettysburg, Pa., talking about his young daughter’s illness and reflecting on the campaign. I can attest to the fact that concern for the health [...]
It’s impossible to have paid any attention to the news over the past couple of weeks and not know about the Zimmerman/Martin case. I wrote about it myself back on March 26th, with specific reference to how the news media and many of the usual leftist groups were leaping to unsupported conclusions and, frankly, asserting [...]

I’m here to weigh on on [...]
I’ve spoken in metaphor in the past regarding a “lynch mob” mentality when I saw a group of people demanding this or that person’s proverbial head over some wrong they’d allegedly committed. I never thought I’d actually see it for real, not in this day and age. On the night of 26 February, armed citizen [...]
An interesting note on Instapundit sent me to this story regarding the shoot-down of a private surveillance drone. A remote-controlled aircraft owned by an animal rights group was reportedly shot down near Broxton Bridge Plantation Sunday near Ehrhardt, S.C. Steve Hindi, president of SHARK (SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness), said his group was preparing to [...]
Lovettsville Lady over at Virginia Virtucon reports that the latest poll from Mason-Dixon is showing Virginians evenly split on the matter of the upcoming Senate race. Mason-Dixon’s latest polling shows the Virginia Senate race between George Allen and Tim Kaine dead even with both candidates getting 46% of the vote and 8% of voters undecided. [...]
