Gov. Dayton decided to blink, well sorta.

The Body of bin Laden

I was sitting in my 10th grade Chemistry class on September 11th of 2001. I remember my teacher, Mr. Sufka telling us what had happened. We were able to see some images from Yahoo, but the internet was overwhelmed that day and our schools TVs were unfortunately down for repair.  We discussed what happened and [...]

Thank you, Basboosa!

Thank you, Basboosa!

On December 17, 2010 in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia, a 26 year old street vendor named Mohamed Bouazizi lit himself on fire. The theft and beatings from the local government officials had become too much for this man to bear. His livelihood had been ruined and there was nothing he could do about it; he felt [...]

Is this how Cheeseheads act?

Is this how Cheeseheads act?

The collective, society, power as a group. These are concepts that are used to demonize the left. Collective bargaining is bad, whether it is a union or average people looking to negotiate the prices of prescription drugs.

Flames in the Tinderbox

Flames in the Tinderbox

Korea has been a troubled peninsula for the last century. The Japanese ruled Korea from 1910 until 1945, they implemented labor camps, stripped the land of its wealth and attempted to erase Korean language, culture, art and history.

Remember When?

Remember When?

It is amazing how quickly (or so it seems) that things can change. One decade we have growth, jobs, relative peace and people seemed to get along. One decade later we have economic collapse of numerous corporations and countries, possible war between the two Koreas, a debt crisis in Washington bogged down by partisanship and [...]

Death Penalty: The Fallible System.

Death Penalty: The Fallible System.

“Our system of criminal justice, for all its protections, is sufficiently fallible that innocent people are convicted of capital crimes with some frequency (United States v. Quinones, p. 466).  The morality of the death penalty has been hotly debated for almost a century in the U.S.

Is broadband-access a human right?

Is broadband-access a human right?

Finland has become the first country in the world to declare that high speed internet access is a legal right. Finnish telecommunications companies will be required to provide the 5.2 million people of Finland with internet access at a speed of one megabit per second.

Safe to Assume Naval Power

Safe to Assume Naval Power

The highly anticipated arrival of the new Chinese Anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) is finely upon us and (predictably) many in the US are unnecessarily fretting over this development.

Preserve Freedom and “slit our wrists.”

Preserve Freedom and “slit our wrists.”

Michelle Bachmann was the guest of honor at a recent question and answer session for the Independence Institute, a libertarian organization from Colorado. In response to a question about the current health care proposal she said: “This cannot pass. What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood [...]

USA Marijuana for Profit.

USA Marijuana for Profit.

It is obvious to many people that our nation is undergoing a change and we are trying to do so at a time of unparalleled debt. This can be a tricky thing to do. How can one manage the budget, fight multiple wars and have socially progressive programs? This seems like a recipe for disaster, [...]
