US Has Largest Drop In Terrorism

The United States ranked 41st out of 158 nations regarding severity of terrorist activity according to a two-year study by the University of Maryland’s National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism.

The study, however, showed that the U.S. had the largest drop in terrorist activity from 2002 to 2011.

Thank you George W. Bush.

Britain ranked 28th and China, 31st, but both had more terrorist incidents during the time of the study.

Kudos To Corbett

Gov. Tom Corbett has finally come out in favor of ending the Pennsylvania wine and liquor monopoly.

Kudos.

Delaware weeps.

Now, do something truly consequential and repeal the law allowing teacher strikes, which would end the power the teacher union has in this state to harm children solely to increase their own wealth and keep bad teachers on the public payroll.

50K March For Life In San Fran

Put this in the things you probably don’t know file: On Jan. 26, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, at least 50,000 people marched against abortion in San Francisco.

That’s right, San Francisco.

PJMedia.com has a photo essay of the event including many from the rather miniscule  pro-abortion counter-protest,  many of which, you should be warned, are fairly offensive.

Off The Internet — Right Side Of The Brain

Courtesy Donna McCole

The right side of your brain. this is one of those great emails that show when you are using your Right or Left side of your brain. If you see the picture exactly as it is, you are using the left side. When you stare you will see the figure shift; and you will be using your right brain. You can switch back and forth.
Stare to go to Right brain (it sort of trances you out or puts you in an altered NON THINKING state).
Begin thinking and reasoning about it and you will move back out of the altered state into Left brain thinking. very cool. You will enjoy this if you are using the right side of your brain, I think this is very good.
Stare at this picture and you will see this man turn his face.
