Filed Under Doug Powers | Leave a Comment

A Pennsylvania high school is having to send out new diplomas to their graduates because, in the body of the diploma, “Northampton” was spelled “Northhampton.” The school’s website says that the mistake was the fault of the printer in Minneapolis. Soon, however, all graduates will have the new diplomas in hand, as concrete proof that [...]

Absence of hockey causes some Canadian marriages to go completely nuts — literally

Filed Under Doug Powers | Leave a Comment

The goalie is out of the net. Canada has become only the third country in the world to officially recognize gay marriage– along with the Netherlands and Belgium. The U.K. is not officially on that list, but the powdered wigs, red coats, and heeled shoes for men prove that they’ve been “honorary members” of that [...]

This week, my “in” box filled up like the cast of Cagney & Lacy’s reunion show wrap party at Old Country Buffet. Michael writes concerning my column “Armed Robe-ery” and the Supreme Court ruling stripping private property rights: The Supreme Court actually did us a favor, by EMPOWERING the STATES themselves, power the states always [...]

Book update

Filed Under Doug Powers | Leave a Comment

My first book is finally finished. Whew! Small amounts of polish-it-up editing are now taking place. It should be out by the end of the summer, unless the Supreme Court takes eminent domain over it by deciding that the book’s space on the shelf would “better serve the public” if it were a Starbucks or [...]

"The Ten Commandments" replaced by "The Five Commandants"

Filed Under Doug Powers | Leave a Comment

So many of our laws are based on the Ten Commandments, but we have to continue to pretend they’re not. In another 5-to-4 ruling, led by pretty much the usual gang of unconstitutional bungweasels, the Supreme Court has decided that the Ten Commandments can’t be displayed in courtrooms. You still have to swear on a [...]
