If even the Amish are going to the dark side, maybe the End Times are closer than we think:
NEW CASTLE, Pa. -- Pennsylvania state troopers are trying to identify a group of young Amish men who they say indecently assaulted three girls recently in Wilmington Township, Lawrence County.
Anytime you think tolerance can't go any further, along comes San Francisco . . .
The naked truth, it seems, is that San Francisco is once again going to emerge as a city ripe for ridicule -- or a beacon of free expression -- depending on your point of view. The latest issue? Public nudity.

In case you missed it last week, former Indianapolis Mayor Stephen Goldsmith resigned from his position as deputy mayor of New York City after being arrested in their Georgetown home for domestic violence. After Margaret Goldmsith said to him, "I should have put a bullet into you years ago," he shoved her into a counter, smashed a phone and held her for some moments. She called the cops.

You remember New London, Conn. That's the city that spawned the hideous Kelo decision in which the Supreme Court tried to put a stake through the heart of private property rights.

Some whiny libertarian is complaining about New York City's sensible and long-overdue ban on dogs in bars:
When this politician claims to be a straight shooter, believe her:
SANTA FE - New Mexico's pistol-packin' governor is a sure shot.
Gov. Susana Martinez received perfect scores on recertification for her concealed-carry permit over the weekend in Las Cruces. She scored 100 percent with both .38- and .45-caliber handguns, her staff said.
Martinez's permit to carry a concealed handgun, originally obtained in 2009, was extended for another two years.
I've always admired Justice Clarence Thomas. Disagree with his judicial or constitutional philosophy, but if you think he's a fool or a poor thinker, you haven't bothered to actually read the things he's written.
The town of Burns Harbor, Ind., is being justifiably criticized for the law it enacted earlier this summer requiring non-residents to get fingerprinted, undero a criminal background check and get a $100 permit before they're allowed to make or sell anything in town, whether on the street, door-to-door or in a brick-and-mortar business:
