    West Texas explosion: fatalities confirmed at fertilizer plant

    I live in Gatesville, which is fairly close to West. Everything within four blocks of the fertilizer plant was blown apart. The best friend of one of my Facebook friends is from West. He lives two blocks from the plant. He's been located, but the news apparently isn't good. We're waiting...

    Florida teacher tells fourth-graders to give up constitutional rights

    Great clip. I've watched it many times. "Who rewards virtue? You think the Communist Commissar rewards virtue?"

    Senate rejects gun amendment compromise

    Background checks are fine, but they don't take seven days. Criminals are still perfectly capable of acquiring guns -- outlawing any practice only creates a black market for it (see: Drugs, War on) -- but if a background check makes you sleep better at night, go for it. I don't see it as a...

    Florida teacher tells fourth-graders to give up constitutional rights

    I made up a song about Reagan once. Not really. But I should.

    Florida teacher tells fourth-graders to give up constitutional rights

    That's decidedly creepy in and of itself, but how much was the school actually involved? In the time it took them to learn that song, I could've taught them all about Milton Friedman. :P

    Florida teacher tells fourth-graders to give up constitutional rights

    Milton Friedman and Friedrich von Hayek should absolutely be included in economics coursework. It's a travesty they weren't. They're both Nobel Prize winners, and they're two of the most influential economic minds of the past century. The stuff about Jefferson isn't completely accurate. He was...

    Florida teacher tells fourth-graders to give up constitutional rights

    We don't need another discussion about the respective meanings of fact and theory as they pertain to science.

    Florida teacher tells fourth-graders to give up constitutional rights

    It wasn't that I didn't have Republican teachers. It's that the Democrats were more vocal. That's probably because Progressives are intrinsically more activist.

    Florida teacher tells fourth-graders to give up constitutional rights

    In high school, one of my history teachers absolutely adored FDR and despised Reagan. She once laughed when a student remarked how "unfortunate" it was that John Hinckley hadn't been successful.

    Should we welcome back sbk92/Risen Star

    Personally, I really like the guy over at the zone. He's been very helpful. He and Hos were supposed to run a mock draft together when Hos up and decided to stop posting there. Without at least one other person to help, we didn't expect Risen to go through with the mock...but he did...

    Happy Tax Day!

    The US has the highest statutory corporate tax rate among industrialized nations (35 percent) but one of the lowest effective corporate tax rates. This is because we offer copious subsidies and breaks to certain industries (green, oil and gas, etc.) while the businesses who can't find tax...

    She posts mainly at Hos's site now. In fact, I haven't seen a post from her at CZ in months.

    Clearly, you've never made her mad.

    Should we welcome back sbk92/Risen Star

    In that case... Oh, yes. I remember the picture of Faerluna very well. She was a goddess among mortals. In all seriousness, I have no recollection that she ever posted any pictures of herself. I know only to avoid pissing her off.

    I was Pub Scipio. I remember S&B62, MCarlo, Hend747, Numb1Fan, Monarchski, RedneckPanther, Dap1Flex, and BPeanutButter. Do any of those ring a bell?
