Can Your Kindle Cause Mental Illness?

November 25th, 2011

The UN Says There Are 7 Billion of Us

October 31st, 2011

By Tom Carter The United Nations Population Division says that as of today there are seven billion people on Earth. I take that seriously, given that the UN is an efficient organization staffed by poorly paid experts who mostly hail from third-world nations where their countrymen and countrywomen are breeding like bunnies.

Obama Will Soon Offer Plans to Create Jobs, and Conservatives Must Help

August 20th, 2011
