Free kibbles

Texas mayors threaten to sue to stop border fence. How does this fence hurt trade? We're not fencing up border crossings. We're our own worst enemy. I don't think we need the fence, we should just hold people who purposely hire illegal immigrants accountable, but this is an example of how our own country is undermining our own country.

We were a lot better off when we didn't care if people liked us. We cared about family, freedom and success, and we were good at all of them. Everybody respected us then. Everybody wanted to be us then. Now we care about how others feel about us. How's that working out for us? Now everybody wants to take advantage of us. To take from us. To attack us.

What does global warming have to do with peace? Al Gore and the IPCC jointly won the Nobel Peace Prize, and Cato comments on Gore's climate lunacy and avoidance of debate. The author is not happy. This is the first time I've seen a Cato scholar show such frustration, but Gore is so dangerous and such a hypocrite, it's about time. Gore is not going to run for President because he knows he can't stand up to honest debate. Reason lampoons the Nobel Peace Prize. Reason warns of Gore's dangerous, socialist policies. Reason archive on Gore. Czech President surprised. He must not be aware that the Nobel Peace Prize has become a joke.

Condi Rice says Iran is lying about its nuclear weapons program. That's a pretty strong statement, befitting a ramp up of rhetoric preparing for a military strike.

Boortz says the House vote to condemn the Turks for genocide against the Armenians is a victory for the Armenian special interest lobby. I think it was a backhanded attempt by the Democrats to hurt our war effort in Iraq, and I wouldn't be surprised to see our troops suffer because of it. It seems to me Congress should have done this back in the 20s, not today.

IRS records show that the rich are relatively richer than any time since the 20s. I'm surprised only half of Senators are millionaires. Cato disputes that the rich are getting rich faster than the poor. Maybe Cato has missed the news about CEO salaries. Of course the rich are getting richer faster. They have the resources to manipulate and capitalize on the outrageous government regulations, subsidies and direct payouts from government. The poor have not. Companies spend tremendous resources dealing with the tax code, lobbying, and navigating government regulations, resources that don't go to workers or investment, and therefore the people at the top are making more money than the people at the bottom.

Who would have guessed that the UN was corrupt?

2002 people died during arrest from 2003 to 2005. That's more Americans than were killed in Iraq.

Cato shows that taxes on the rich and poor are about the same as they were in 1990. That sucks. We should adopt the FairTax.

Clean coal is a wonderful fuel to lower our dependence on foreign oil and lower oil prices to win the war on terror and to limit Russian power.

Atlanta mayor begs residents for water conservation. This is what happens when government manages resources instead of the free market. If water had been supplied by a private owner, prices would have long ago signaled that growth in Georgia was outstripping water supply.

Chinese to move 4 million people because of environmental threats from Three Gorges Dam.

Why are people outraged that Ann Coulter claims her religion is the best? Doesn't everybody believe their religion is the best, and that everybody else would be better off if they convert? If they don't believe that, why do they believe in their religion? This sounds like a phony controversy to me.

In order to combat high education costs, Democrats propose to inject more money into the system, creating more demand. Needless to say, this will increase prices, not reduce them. They way to lower prices is to increase supply. But the biggest problem with education is the quality. To fix that, we have to make schools accountable to parents and students, not government.

Another noose.

What happens in Vegas is all on video. More surveillance.

Vatican publishes Knights Templar trial records.

Bacteria in the digestive tract may trigger eating urges.

Charles Krauthammer says Hillary's lack of principles and overwhelming ambition might lead her to make good for the wrong reasons as President. He's delusional.

Only 9% of people would turn to sex in their last hour on earth? No wonder our birth rate is falling so rapidly. I would want really kinky sex.

Hillary wants to remove the payroll tax limit to fund social security. The payroll tax limit is currently indexed to the benefit. Raising the payroll tax limit will not change the benefit for people earning over the current limit, so it will remove the index. A better solution is to find a plan to completely faze out social security over time without cutting existing obligations. The plan should include downgrading benefits for younger and younger people until at some young age, those people will never be saddled with social security and adopting the FairTax to support the baby boomers.

Appeasement of Muslims on Halal cafeteria backfires. Tolerance has to work both ways. We need to demand comparable tolerance from Muslims.

Ramsey Yousef claims to have converted to Christianity. Maybe another Muslim in the prison will kill him for it.
