by Chris Stafko. You may recall the 1966 cult-classic by Napoleon XIV titled, "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa." The lyrics of that song describe an individual who is out of his mind and who is being taken "to the funny farm" and to "the loony bin" so he can be attended to by "those nice young men in their clean white coats." The subject of the song ... MOREThey're Coming To Take Our Guns Away, Ha-haa!

Inconvenient truth: no 21st century rise in temperature. My greener friends are increasingly troubled by the lack of a rise in recent global surface temperatures. Using monthly data measured as the departure from long-term averages, there’s been no significant warming trend since the fall of 1996. In other words, we are now in our 17th ... MOREHow A Cop Used A State Database To Steal Pain Pills
by Michael McFall. A former Vernal police detective now
faces criminal charges stemming from his alleged theft of a couple’s
pain pills, a month after the couple filed a complaint against him in
federal court. Ben Marland Murray, 38, was charged Friday in
8th District Court with unlawful use of the controlled substance
database and possession of a controlled ... MOREVictor Davis Hanson: The War Between The Amendments
Parity to an all-powerful, centralized government. The horrific Newtown, Conn., mass shooting has unleashed a frenzy to
pass new gun-control legislation. But the war over restricting firearms
is not just between liberals and conservatives; it also pits the first
two amendments to the U.S. Constitution against each other. Apparently, in the sequential ... MORE
Jacob Sullum: The Threat Posed By Gun Magazine Limits
Another measure that could endanger victims. A limit on magazine capacity is emerging as a leading contender
for the something that supposedly must be done in response to last
month's massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown,
Connecticut. A ban on "large-capacity ammunition feeding devices"
is one of the new gun ... MORE
Capitalism: Making Tires Safer And Most Things Better
A system where the consumer is king. Humans have been using tires since the dawn of the automotive age. But today’s tires aren’t much like their predecessors. Instead of being made with natural rubber, for example, they’re fashioned from layers of materials, including textiles and steel. This is a perfect example of what economist Joseph ... MORESusan Duclos: Online Ammunition Suppliers
Time to stock up. With conflicting accounts as to whether Wal-Mart is putting off the restocking of ammunition after their meetings with the Obama administration and many local gun and ammo suppliers simply running out of ammunition after a massive surge in sales, it seemed prudent to gather a few sources for ammunition from online. ... MOREMark Steyn: In The Absence Of Guns
In Britain, defending your property can get you life. Celebrity news from the United Kingdom: In April, Germaine Greer, the Australian feminist and author of The Female Eunuch, was leaving her house in East Anglia, when a young woman accosted her, forced her back inside, tied her up, smashed her glasses, and then set about demolishing her ... MOREFlorida Senate Panel Votes To Ban Spying With Drones
One state's stand for citizen privacy. A Florida Senate panel says police should be banned from using drones to spy on citizens. A bill (SB 92) that would prohibit law enforcement agencies from gathering evidence or other information flew through the Criminal Justice Committee with a unanimous vote Tuesday. It also would ban ... MOREJohn Stossel: First, The Bad News
We in the media rarely lie to you. But that leaves plenty of room to take things wildly out of context. That's where most big scare stories come from, like recent headlines
about GM foods. GM means "genetically modified," which means scientists
add genes, altering the plant's DNA, in this case to make the crop
resistant to pests. Last week, ... MOREWalter E Williams: Are Guns The Problem?
Moral values, not laws, make a civilized society. When I attended primary and secondary school — during the 1940s and '50s — one didn't hear of the kind of shooting mayhem that's become routine today. Why? It surely wasn't because of strict firearm laws. My replica of the 1902 Sears mail-order catalog shows 35 pages of firearm ... MOREJeff Stier: Obesity Police Launch A Needless War
The relentless effort of regulators to reduce options. If there’s agreement about anything in our hotly-politicized environment today it is that while we work to find sensible and principled solutions to real-world problems, we also need to do a better job coming to consensuses. But when it comes to addressing obesity, the most prominent public ... MOREPolice Chief Seeks To Nullify Unconstitutional Gun Control
by Alex Newman. While the Obama administration and some Democrat lawmakers plot ever more extreme assaults on the Second Amendment,
state and local officials across the country are working just as hard
to find ways to protect the gun rights of law-abiding citizens in their
jurisdictions. One local Pennsylvania police chief is helping to lead
the way, asking ... MOREThomas Sowell: Liberalism Vs. Blacks
Evidence can be a real inconvenience. There is no question that liberals do an impressive job of expressing
concern for blacks. But do the intentions expressed in their words
match the actual consequences of their deeds? San Francisco is a classic example of a city unexcelled in its
liberalism. But the black population of San Francisco today is less ... MOREA. Barton Hinkle: Spending Cuts Are Mostly Fiction
Would you like to save $20,000 this year? Of course you would. Here’s how: Plan a month-long vacation to Disneyland, and budget $20,000 for the trip. Then don’t go. Presto! You just “cut” your family budget by 20 grand. This sounds absurd—because it is. Yet that is precisely
how Washington operates. A couple of weeks ago, ... MORE
Biden: White House Eying 19 Executive Actions On Guns
Obama prepares to deploy tyrannical measures. The White House has identified 19 executive actions for President Barack Obama to move unilaterally on gun control, Vice President Joe Biden told a group of House Democrats on Monday, the administration’s first definitive statements about its response to last month’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook ...
