Occupy Streets, Are Mormons Christian, and Other Media Driven Stories #EERS
The Occupy various streets in the nation crowd are downright insulted over the “I Am The 53%” tag Kevin Eder started and that Mike Wilson, Josh Trevino, and I ran with. I mean they are livid over it. We’re going to get into that tonight on the radio and we’re going to get into Mitt [...]
Green Border Security is as Effective as Green Energy
Energy productivity isn’t the only thing that is hampered by laws governing so-called endangered species.

And another; and another… But this is the conclusion reached by each and every rational herdsman sharing a commons. Therein is the tragedy. Each man is locked into a system that compels him to [...]
Maryland planning more stealth tax hikes on poor?
In a socially-acceptable way, of course: ie, via another hike in the tax on tobacco. The “Maryland Citizens’ Health Initiative” – a name whose hint of subtle menace should make small-government types involuntarily shiver – looking to raise it by a buck a pack, because… well, pretty much because they want people to quit smoking, [...]
