  Brucie, that term has been exclusively reserved for Al Gore.

• Mass. Reservoir Trespassers Cleared of Terrorist Suspicions

  May 18, 2013 at 7:31am

  Let’s look at the facts:
  Seven young Muslims,
  Chemical engineering students,
  trespassing on a reservoir property that serves Boston’s water needs,
  they professed an educational interest in the reservoir in sub-freezing weather, late in the evening when it’s hard to see anything,
  poisoning a city’s water supply is high on jihadist lists,
  about one month after fellow Muslims killed four and injured nearly 200 in an explosion for Allah,
  investigated by the Mass. State Police, the same bunch that ignored obvious signals from the Tsarnaev brothers, one of whom was subsequently killed, the other injured,
  Muslims are really into revenge,
  and rewards for killing Infidels.
  Mass. State Police: “There is nothing to see here.”

• Do Strict Gun Laws Really Stop Gun Crime?

  April 23, 2013 at 7:50am

  What a very inaccurate story this is. You are all aware that, according to FBI crime statistics, nearly 50% of all murders are committed by a group that represents about 4% of the population — black males between the ages of 14 to 40 yrs. of age. I don’t see this most important statistic mentioned anywhere above. PC does not make for good science and statistical analysis.

  Rhode Island is quickly heading in the direction of that other Democratic stronghold — Detroit.

  Yo mayor, lower your taxes, your regulations, cut government spending, force the crackheads off the dole and out of the streets, stop kissing union cheek, get very tough on crime, talk to Giuliani on tips for turning around a city, and maybe, just maybe, businesses will return.

• Elizabeth Warren Wonders: Why Aren’t Employers Paying $22-an-Hour Minimum Wage Rates?

  March 19, 2013 at 5:39pm

  The level of economic education and understanding in this country is appalling . Does Warren really believe that these low wage employees are, on the average, producing $22 an hour? If this were true there would be a 100% employment rate among this group. After all, employers are profiting to the tune of $14.75 an hour from each of these hires. Employers have the incentive to continue hiring until supply/demand factors raise the wages of these workers to the point of no marginal profit.

  Unfortunately, Warren’s meager understanding of basic economics preclude her from realizing that the $22 number she cites (I am not even sure that it is accurate, but will assume it for the sake of this argument) is an average number subsuming all workers. Recent studies found that most of the gains in productivity are from the high end workers. This makes sense. We have not experienced the productivity gains in the low end employee as we have for the high end.

  So will Warren dig deep into her pocket to make up the difference in these wages for her office workers?

• History Channel’s North Carolina Mountain Man Fights Gov’t for Control of His Property

  February 28, 2013 at 7:10am

  Perhaps the government should compromise and post a sign, much like the warning on cigarette packs, stating, “The government has deemed this property not conforming to modern codes, enter at your own risk.” Let the people decide for themselves!
