The Real Reason Lance Left Her

I always won­dered what hap­pened to Sheryl Crow.  In her early albums, she was a real poet but later in her career she turned into a piece of pop fluff, not really turn­ing out any­thing of interest.  Turns out, that’s because she’s been con­cen­trat­ing on the wrong things.  Seri­ously, would you want to stay mar­ried

When Killers Meet Armed Resistance

It rarely gets reported accu­rately in the media but this arti­cle points out some inter­est­ing stories.

Let’s Keep Picking On Dallas

While we’re pick­ing on Dal­las, might as well point out another excel­lent Schutze col­umn at The Observer detail­ing what sounds like a nifty lit­tle scam busi­ness oppor­tu­nity of one Ed Oak­ley, can­di­date for mayor.  The whole Trin­ity project has become a boon­dog­gle, almost entirely because of the spe­cial inter­ests and power bro­kers that oper­ate behind

The Continuing Nannification of Dallas

The Dal­las police busted two poker games over the week­end, one at AmVets and one at the VFW.

I’m guess­ing they’ll find

That’s Rich

CBS has fired Don Imus over his com­ments on the Rut­gers women’s bas­ket­ball team. While I’m amazed this has turned into the brouhaha that it has, I can under­stand fir­ing him in this media crazed world we live in. But this com­ment by Leslie Moonves, pres­i­dent of CBS is pretty rich: “There has been much

It’s About Damn Time

All charges in the Duke (non)-rape case have been dropped.  This has obvi­ously been the result of an over­reach­ing DA, one that now stands to get dis­barred because of his actions.  Three young men’s lives have been trashed in the media and beyond all on the account of an accuser with seri­ous cred­i­bil­ity issues and
