DonorSee!
The kitsch business has slowed down as of late, but every now and again a check comes in from our store for the various wares sold during the prior period. That happened a few days ago, when a check came in for over $100. As is custom, we take that money and head on over […]
Courthouses Should Be Beautiful
[Eds. Note: We’re pleased to be able to share this piece by John Ehrett, who joins us as a guest author] Most government buildings are pathologically ugly. By “government buildings,” I don’t mean iconic structures like the Lincoln Memorial or the White House. I mean the garden-variety government buildings that sit in medium- to large-sized […]
Combating Household Air Pollution in Rural Kenya
The conservatarian kitch business has been good recently. Almost $200 bucks in the past few months. So what’s going on over at DonorSee?

Where Have You Gone, Principled Conservatism? Our Nation Turns Its Lonely Eyes to You….
For the last eight years, all eyes have been trained on the flaws and hypocrisy of the political left. And there has been plenty to see: Berkeley protests, academic witch hunts, general hysteria, fear mongering, demonizing the values and beliefs of average Americans, and ignoring the fears and concerns of millions among the working class.

Ad Fontes: The Week in SCOTUS, Part Deux
[Ad Fontes was an early Renaissance and Reformation credo. Literally meaning “to the fountains,” the phrase embodied these movements’ emphasis on studying the original, primary sources in religious, philosophical, and scientific pursuits. This same commitment animates our efforts to follow our state and federal judiciaries’ decisionmaking in key cases being decided therein, given how these opinions shape the legal environment in which we live and work. As such, this periodic series seeks to provide quick but insightful summaries of recently issued decisions by courts across the country, with brief commentary on the potential implications or consequences of the decisions. Enjoy!
