Scozzafava surrenders

Saturday, 31 October 2009 11:46 P GMT-06
Dede Scozzafava, the Republican candidate in the NY-23 special Congressional election, has suspended her campaign and freed those who endorsed and supported her "to transfer their support as they see fit to do so." This is tremendous news.

Vaccine shortage outrage

Saturday, 31 October 2009 12:00 A GMT-06
The local and national media are full of stories about the massive H1N1 vaccine shortage and canceled vaccination clinics. But I haven't seen any finger-pointing or even serious inquiries into why this has been such a cluster-f**k. Well, Be ...

Flynn v. Holder: the fight for marrow cell liberation

Friday, 30 October 2009 9:57 P GMT-06
The Institute for Justice is one of my favorite non-profits. This "merry band of libertarian litigators" just keeps finding wonderful ways of using the courts and the court of public opinion to fight for individual liberty, especially ...

ObamaCare vs. iPhone thinking

Thursday, 29 October 2009 8:27 P GMT-06
The Wall Street Journal has a wonderful opinion piece by Daniel Henninger that I think really explains why the polling numbers have gone so south on all the variations of ObamaCare (and on Obama and Congress, too): In a world defined by nearly ...

A Time for Choosing

Yesterday was the 45th anniversary of the TV broadcast "Rendezvous with Destiny," a 30-minute campaign commercial for Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, delivered by Ronald Reagan. It was a variation of a speech called "A Time ...

Dismantling America

Wednesday, 28 October 2009 1:50 P GMT-06
Dr. Thomas Sowell: Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many "czars" appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut ...

Shocker! Mainstream news outlet uses phrase "global cooling"

Tuesday, 27 October 2009 2:28 P GMT-06
It's definitely a "man bites dog" event when a CBS-affiliated local TV news department headlines a story "Global Cooling Causes Fish Kill In Cherry Creek" DENVER (CBS4) - A major fish kill was reported Tuesday afternoon in...

Reality emulates Atlas Shrugged, example #739

Thursday, 22 October 2009 9:56 P GMT-06
With apologies to Martin Niemoller: First they went after executives at bailed-out companies, and I did not speak out because I was not an executive at one of those companies. President Barack Obama has welcomed plans to force some companies which...

Too cold for baseball

Saturday, 10 October 2009 10:46 A GMT-06
Tonight's Rockies-Phillies playoff game has been postponed because of weather: Game Three of the 2009 National League Division Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Colorado has been postponed due ...

The Nobel joke

Friday, 9 October 2009 1:35 P GMT-06
Having served ten days in office when nominations closed, President Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. I think he was nominated by Joe Biden. For being so clean and articulate. The Nobel committee lost all credibility when they awarded ...

Free money from Obama's stash

Thursday, 8 October 2009 11:49 P GMT-06
Remember when they promised us the $780 billion in "stimulus" spending would produce jobs, funding shovel-ready projects that would get the economy moving? Not in Detroit. There, they just created a lottery for free money. Instead of ...

Ski season is here

Tuesday, 6 October 2009 9:55 P GMT-06
On the last day of summer, amidst unusually cold weather and an early natural snowfall, Loveland Ski Area fired up its snowmaking machinery. Tomorrow morning, it opens for the season: "We took advantage of the cold temperatures and got an ...

Doctoring the photo op

Tuesday, 6 October 2009 3:05 P GMT-06
The President had quite a photo op in the Rose Garden yesterday. He was surrounded by 150 physicians in white lab coats as he made yet another pitch for a government-controlled health care system. At least we're told they were physicians, and ...

Such men

Monday, 5 October 2009 12:42 A GMT-06
This past weekend, eight American soldiers were killed and 24 wounded at Camp Keating, a remote outpost in Afghanistan. The Taliban forces used a mosque and a village as cover, and set a wildfire to force U.S. forces to retreat from their perimeter.

Explaining that Olympic Committee decision

Saturday, 3 October 2009 10:18 P GMT-06
You may have seen this already via email. But it's too good not to post: Top ten reasons Chicago didn't get the 2016 Olympics 10. Dead people can't vote at IOC meetings. 9. Obama distracted by 25 min meeting with Gen. McChrystal. 8. Who

Gandhi and Groucho

Friday, 2 October 2009 4:42 P GMT-06
Today is the birthday of both Mohandas Gandhi and Julius "Groucho" Marx. In their honor, here is my favorite quote from each (but I'm not going to tell you which is which). Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history
