I’m With Instapundit On This One

I favor good food, and I don’t mind people who want to support local artisan producers. But I’d much rather dine on spam than on the self-congratulation of pretentious strivers.

Speaking of which, aren’t you glad that the first family gave the okay to pie this thanksgiving, and that they watch their own diet so carefully after criticizing the rest of ours? By the way, the Senate just passed a bill to give massive new regulatory power to the FDA over food.

Fair-Use Thrown Out From The Get-Go

No, you don’t own the hardware that you bought and paid for.

Sanitizing Christmas

Every year the tendency for political correctness types to go after any mention of Christmas gets brought up.

Here’s a good one for you on the subject: how come the rational of “not offending anyone” is used to remove all mentions of Christmas from public space, but doesn’t seem to apply to publicly funded art, such as ant (or worse) covered crucifixes?

Was Tycho Brahe Murdered?

And Kepler is the prime suspect?

A Bose Einstein Condensate Made Of Light?

Very neat. And achieved by remarkable cleverness.

Like seemingly all optics breakthroughs, the first use will be in making our computer chips smaller with better lithography.

Obama’s Cousin Arresting Gays

In Kenya. Obama helped campaign for the guy, you know.

They Tried To Break Him

But he’s coming back stronger than ever. This is what the Castro regime does to people, and how quickly freedom is the antidote.

Another Climate Summit Where They Fly In From Around The World And Call For The Rest Of Us To Cut Back

Another Violently Radical Lefty

A vegan who burned down a sheepskin business.

Reviewing The Higher-Ed Bubble

Just look at the pay statistics of College CEOs for 2008.

Another Violent Lefty

This one making death threats against Eric Cantor.

Bypassing Nerve Damage To Exercise Paralyzed Limbs

With a new spinal implant. Awesome – how long before this could be used to restore the actual use of those limbs?

The Sucker’s Play Of Increasing Taxes To Balance The Budget

Every dollar of tax increases since WW2 has had $1.17 of spending increases to go along with it.

Looking At Government Intrusion Into The Medical Industry

It was a sordid tale of government control and mandates prohibiting capitalism from working even before Obamacare was passed. Yet somehow the high cost of care is supposed to be capitalism’s fault.

Another Dispicable War Criminal Lands A Cushy Job

At the U.N.

Stalin And Genocide

Why do we make the distinction between mass-murder and genocide? Merely to give political cover to tyrannic regimes.

The Case For Bifurcated Trials

Over at Reason. They’ve made similar arguments before, and I still agree with them.

How To Deal With North Korea

Once again, another report that shows that it’s all about China. Which again points out how stupid Obama’s “return to two party talks” idea was, given that Bush finally got North Korea to allow us to bring China to the table…

Economic Forecast For The Next Three Years:

Not Good.

Of course, if we wanted to turn things around in a hurry, we could just implement the FairTax – or heck, just kill capital gains and corporate income taxes…

FCC Internet Power Grab Set For December

If they can swing it.
