Decadency caused by deleterious debutants disguised as “lawyers” who […]

Can you read the writing on the wall?

How many times have you heard that statement in the past? Do you know where it comes from? Do you know what it really means? Like so many stories down through the ages, it has taken on different authorship. The most probable original author comes from the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament. The […]

Okay, I know I scare some people but this guy does a way better job:

Department of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said that “no one knows” if gasoline prices in the United States will reach $9 per gallon, and acknowledged that the possibility is outside his control. Okay seriously, I filled up my tank today and really had to consider if I could afford to keep driving. Or eating. Or […]

Something so powerful, people were willing to die for it.

Kings and potentates. Dictators and tyrants. Savage bands of lawless men and unruly mobs. They all have one thing in common.
