Standing in the street with a picket sign doesn’t make you right, or mean you are oppressed. I say this not to discourage or disparage people who stand in the street with picket signs. On the contrary, I am a great admirer of public displays of righteousness. I’ve made more than one myself.
I say it rather to point out that not all demonstrations are for causes worth supporting. Specifically, there is no similarity between the desperate, hungry, abused demonstrators in Egypt and public employee union members in Wisconsin.
The Egyptians are in a . . . → Read More: Gravy Train Passengers Urge Mules to Pull Harder

The difference between a drafted soldier and a slave doesn’t amount to a frosty mug o’ spit. Congress, apparently longing for the good old days of Viet Nam, Korea, and WWII, is proposing to enslave not just healthy young men, but pretty much all of us.
Most of the crooks and liars who form the political class today aren’t old enough to remember them, but there must be some institutional nostalgia for the days when America fielded vast armies of conscripts in a global struggle against tyranny.

I’ve been making fun of the granny-goosers at the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) for as long as they’ve been around. When they banned styling mousse and toothpaste from airliners, I joked that I was glad the goo bombers hadn’t been bra or briefs bombers.

I just had the unfortunate experience of watching the intro video for the Copenhagen Global Warming Circle Jerk. Because of an unusually solid constitution I was able to hold down this morning’s beans and rice, but just barely.
The scary-stuff-happening-to-the-cute-little-girl-and-her-teddy-bear alarmism would be a tragic joke if the makers of the film and the sponsors of the hot air circus weren’t so deeply allied with policy makers all over the civilized world. It’s as if an army of sandal- shod REPENT NOW THE END IS NEAR fruitcakes have taken over the machinery of world government.
The tragedy for the . . . → Read More: The Global Warming Swindle
