There have been several mornings in my life that I have wanted to do exactly what this guy did:
MIAMI – Fed up with his troublesome car, a Florida man fired five rounds from a semi-automatic pistol into the hood of the 1994 Chrysler LeBaron.
“I’m putting my car out of its misery,� 64-year-old John McGivney said [...]

I am going to be working on tomorrow’s Carnival of the Vanities most of the day today, so you’ll likely not see any new posts until I am finished with it. So far, I’ve received over 60 submissions, so there is a lot of work to do.
10 years ago today, a domestic terrorist named Timothy McVeigh detonated a crude, homemade bomb outside of the Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. 168 men, women, and children were killed and many more injured. A few years back, my wife and I went to see the Oklahoma City National Memorial. It is a moving [...]
Charles Rangel has done the expected in his quest to deny Americans a chance to salvage their investment in the Social Security system:
In a “Save Our Social Security” town-hall meeting sponsored by the NAACP and AARP, members of those groups, along with unaffiliated black senior citizens, heard the Harlem Democrat say proposed changes were “one [...]
