Don’t blame him for Boebert

Wallace Stanfield Lane, aka Stan Lane (photo, left), is off the hook. New DNA testing conclusively proves that Lane, a former pro wrestler (bio here), is not Lauren Boebert’s father (see story here). He did have a fling with Boebert’s mom around that time, and she pursued him for child s[...]

If you pass a law against climate change, it’ll happen anyway

State Sen. Jerry Cirino (photo, left; profile here), an Ohio Republican, is sponsoring a bill that “designates climate policy as a ‘controversial belief or policy.’” On a purely abstract plane, a climate “belief or policy” could be controversial if, say, it posits tha[...]

Guns are changing American life

An entire generation of American kids are growing up in fear of being gunned down in their classrooms, or shot at a shopping mall. The NRA likes to say, “An armed society is a polite society,” but the data say otherwise. Guns are now the leading cause of death of Americans under age 19 ([...]

Yellowstone isn’t a petting zoo

How stupid can people be? A downside of phone cameras and social media is people trying to get eye-catching videos. In the process, they’re falling off cliffs and getting gored by wild animals. The “Yellowstone” series captured this idiocy in a scene here which, while fiction, is r[...]

Biden and the sandbag

The debt ceiling is a fake crisis

Wall Street never believed the U.S. would default; Congress isn’t that crazy. But somebody could miscalculate. The 2023 debt ceiling crisis will be a squeaker. The House passed the compromise that Speaker McCarthy and President Biden spent weeks negotiating; the Senate still must do so. It pr[...]
