Laffer Curve Death Spiral. Nothing can stop it, the point of no return was hit some time ago.

I have many cousins in Cook County. They need to leave while they can still sell their houses.

A tenured California professor is the latest academic to be accused of re-writing their personal history when claiming Cherokee heritage.

Andrea Smith, an associate professor at the University of California Riverside .. has been called out by critics who say she, like former Harvard Law professor Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D- Mass., and Ward Churchill, a former University of Colorado professor who infamously likened 9/11 victims to Nazis, used the phony claims to enhance her faculty pedigree.

I have the solution - raise the minimum wage!

Churchill was fired for research misconduct, including plagiarism, fabrication, and falsification.

Chickens coming home to roost.

Some of us are also conservatives who want to get the heck out of dodge. I came to that realization this year.

The fact that Detroit didn’t get a federal bail out scared the hell out of lenders.

Luckily Chicago’s world-reknowned public school system, well-kept infrastructure - including high-quality street maintenance along with secure and comfortable bus transport - combined with the security of safe and comfortable neighborhoods will be enough of a draw for potential residents to outweigh the minor inconvenience of a few extra bucks in taxes.

I hate Illinois Nazis.

They are all coming here to Arizona where I am sure they'll repeat the pattern.

They CAN bring the food though.
