The star of the TV series Prison Break was sentenced to 40 months in the California State Prison. This was as a result of a plea agreement in connection to the drunken driving incident that took the life of 17 year-old Vahagn Setian who was a passenger in Garrison’s Land Rover when Garrison lost control striking a tree in Beverly Hills. Additionally two 15 year-old girls who were passengers in Garrison’s SUV survived. Garrison had twice the legal limit of alcohol and cocaine in his blood. With good behavior Garrison will only serve slightly more than two years. Of course there are the civil penalties that are substantial that go along in these kinds of cases. I fully expect this young man to face some real horror in prison. Young and goodlooking kids like Garrison are targets for extortion, beatings and the unwanted attention the Buga-Buga Boyz. There is a lot more to prison than simple loss of liberty. When Garrison gets out there won’t be any Hollywood agents beating down his d...

Duane “Dog” Chapman has ended his television career with one short phone call. The ex-convict turned bounty hunter and TV star had a private moment with his son memorialized on tape and made public. I’ve never been a fan of Chapman or his sordid business of hunting down bail absconders. At the same time, I don’t think Chapman’s private phone calls are or should be public business but accept that reality in the unforgiving world we live in. No TV network wants the baggage of a racist to deal with. Dog, you’ve been canceled. Read more about this and hear the tape yourself.

The sealed indictment handed down by a Federal Grand Jury against Orange County Sheriff Mike Corona accuses the once rising star of a wide range of corruption allegations. None the least of the claims were that concealed weapons permits were sold for various favors and gratuities. The right of self-defense for California’s citizens has long been something only for the rich, powerful and well connected. Politicians like gun-rights hating, Senator Dianne Feinstein are able to obtain the permits while shopkeepers and other folks with occupations that put them at risk are denied. The costs of California’s CCW permits are often campaign contributions or simple bribes to those who least deserve them. The right to protect yourself from muggers, rapists and killers comes with American citizenship. It’s not some privilege for politicians and their appointed bureaucrats to withhold, dole out or sell. Of course in California the permits often provide incumbent protection for those who enjoy ab...

Hollywood has its very own version of the truth. When they go back into time their leading ladies playing women from centuries and even eons ago get plastered on the silver screen with the sexiest outfit, stylish hair and modern makeup. The reality is the women characters they play would have dirty hair, hairy legs, facial hair, zero eye makeup and of course B.O. Any modern woman would not be caught dead without mascara and eyeliner on a public street and neither would our Hollywood starlets! The 1960 film made from H.G. Wells, The Time Machine is a great example of Hollywood’s truth/entertainment. Here you see the stunningly beautiful, Yvette Mimieux looking like she just stepped out of a Hollywood makeup chair because she did! I don’t want to burst anyone’s bubble but the very hot Mimieux is 65 years old as of 2007.

There are two cases under consideration by the Supreme Court, District of Columbia v. Heller (07-290) and Parker v. District of Columbia (07-335). We can expect that on November 9 the court will determine whether or not they will grant review. That determination will be published on Tuesday November 13. If the court grants review the case or cases will be heard around February or March 2008. A decision one way or another could settle America’s gun control debate for the future. Either Americans have a right to keep and bear arms or they don’t. My Money is on freedom and liberty.

The extreme Left Wing politicians who call themselves Democrats never met a tax they did not like. Nor did these tax and spend advocates like any income tax deductions. In the runaway tax train they created was the elimination of the ability of Americans to write loan interest off of their income tax. Interest on home loans was and is still deductible. Americans began to borrow money in creative ways that tied personal, credit card and even car loans to their mortgages. The downside risk with these loans is the real possibility of forced foreclosure on borrower’s homes. Credit card debt and car loans were never tied to mortgages until the Bolsheviks made this change. Now debtors lose their homes when they default on the loans that really have nothing to do with their mortgages. Losing a job, catastrophic illness or simple bad money management not only brings an end to home ownership, but also eliminates any future tax advantages conveyed to homeowners. This way the poor get po...

There is a strange fact about firearms the experts just don’t understand. There has not been a single major advance since the cased cartridge and smokeless powder was invented. The state of the art handgun is the venerable Colt. 1911 .45 ACP. It’s a century old now! The same is true for rifles and machineguns. The long dead designers John Browning and Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim small arms have never been surpassed in effectiveness. The promised Buck Rodgers Ray Guns have never come along to replace the simplest of handguns. Modern times have brought slightly improved ergonomics and cosmetic changes. Ammunition has been repackaged with names like Black Talon, Silver Tip and sold with lots of “magic bullet” hype. Today there are laser sights, night sights and various optical sights and none have allowed an poorly trained or undisciplined shooter to be more dangerous. Quality optical sights are also a century old. Our gun hating advocates and their politicians react to every market...
