People’s Republic Of Maryland Taxing Its Subjects Into Submission
Demercrats
Frederick Meekins
One of the nicknames for the State of Maryland is “The Free State”. However, since the power to tax is the power to destroy, perhaps it is about time a more accurate slogan was selected.

Taxpayers in the Arizona communities of Rio Verde and Troon found a novel way to keep their property-tax bills low: They created a school district in name only. The scheme helps them avoid higher real-estate taxes while they send their students to nearby districts.
Reframing and Signaling: Communicating Tough Choices to Aging Parents
Off Site
Editor
At some point in the lives of our aging parents, things slip out of control. It may be a subtle change over time that finally becomes unmanageable or the sudden arrival of a medical setback. As much as we want them to remain independent, events take them off course, and tough decisions need to be made about the quality of their lives. It could be unsafe driving, near accidents at home, poor compliance with medical treatment, financial negligence, or the inability to recover from the loss of a spouse. Regardless of the circumstances, it becomes clear to those who care about them and to those who care for them that something needs to change. The question is howto communicate this urgent andunavoidable need for change? While there are no easy answers, there are three communication strategies that can improve the chances of our aging parents eventually participating in ands uccessfully surviving these tough choices.
Public Schools: Parental Rights in Jeopardy
EdukShun
Paul M. Weyrich
One of the clearest measures of a society can be found in its public school system. For example, it is no accident that in totalitarian states, such as North Korea, what may be taught comes directly from the government. Children are indoctrinated early to believe their “Dear Leader” never is wrong even though many do not have enough food to eat. And in war-torn countries or those which are deeply divided by religious differences there are few, if any, functioning public schools.

William H. Calhoun
"No real conservative would ever vote for Giuliani.” “If Giuliani gets the ticket, I’m voting Constitution Party.” “Giuliani is a left-wing radical.” These are the sentiments I’ve heard recently by conservatives.
The Rehabilitation of Astronaut Lisa Nowak
PoliticalCorrectness
Carey Roberts
It was one of those stories that not even a Hollywood scriptwriter could dream up: A NASA astronaut stows a steel mallet, 4-inch knife, rubber tubing, gloves, and trash bags in her car. She straps on an astro-diaper and drives 900 miles to Orlando. During the wee hours of February 6, she disguises herself with a wig, glasses, and trench coat. Confronting her romantic rival in the airport parking lot, she douses Colleen Shipman with pepper spray.
Jack Murtha: The Britney Spears of Congress
Demercrats
Warner Todd Huston
The worst thing about pop culture celebrities is their ever downwardly spiraling behavior. To get noticed they feel they must indulge in ever more outrageous behavior until they end up dead like Anna Nichol Smith or a drunken, debauched mess like the empty-headed Britney Spears. Sadly, the media and the gossip rags eat it up.

Another US Government Attempt to Sell a Border Patrol Agent Down the River
Republicrats
Sher Zieve
Just when we-the-people thought that the US government’s continued persecutions of our US Border Patrol Agents—for doing theor respective jobs—couldn’t get much worse, it did. Although DHS Inspector General Richard L. Skinner recently admitted to Congress that he and his Agents had lied in their provision of evidence against USBP Agents Compean and Ramos, the officers still remain in federal prison—a prison in which Agent Ramos was released into the prison’s general population and then beaten within an inch of his life via a “hit” fomented by incarcerated illegals. And, even though Texas Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez was protecting his life when he fired on a human trafficking coyote who was attempting to run him down with his van, Gilmer was still convicted and sentenced to prison.
