Palestinian Election Fraud…Surprised?

Answering a Few Questions
La Shawn Barber has a new project in the works and she needs a few questions answered. If you’re a blogger, go on over, answer up, and help her out. If she’s involved in a project, it’s likely to be a very good one. She doesn’t turn out junk. Here are my answers to her [...]
My Money Disclosure Policy

Mandatory Minimums Out, Suggested Minimums In
The Supreme Court came down yesterday with what I consider a relatively wise decision. In a split opinion, SCOTUS found that Federal judges need not strictly adhere to mandatory sentencing guidelines but that they should consider them when deciding sentences.
