  • Carbon emission permits are a tax

    Todd Myers|Updated Sep 28, 2023

    As the cost of the state's climate law continues to increase gas prices, members of the Inslee Administration are upset when the cost of the CO2 allowances are referred to as a "tax."

  • Fake news isn't the problem

    Updated Sep 28, 2023

    Our problem is not that there is too much “fake news.” Our problem is that too many people believe it.

And this distinction is central to most disagreements. Epistemology has simple and clarifying definitions, e.g., Truth has the property that corresponds with facts and reality.

  • Welcome to My Kitchen

    Laura Estes|Updated Sep 28, 2023

    Fall is officially here, and a few cloudy days, some rain showers and foggy morning or two has us thinking pumpkin spice and wooly socks. Slow-cooker meals begin to top the dinner menu lists in many area kitchens. Lise’s Salsa Chicken, a recipe I received from Lise Ott in Irby, is super easy, and depending on the chicken cuts you use, and the size of your family, you will have planned-overs for additional meals. Enchilada’s, Posole Soup and chimichangas are just a few of the...
