Poll claims most Americans are against telecom immunity for working with government on national security. That's stupid. We want businesses to help with our security. If government abuses our privacy, we should government responsible, not businesses.

Another city banning smoking in apartments.

Iranian president Ahmadinejad to visit Iraq.

Liberals still can't figure out the difference between a mistake and a lie, claiming the Bush administration made false statements, not mistaken ones, during the debate on invading Iraq. Liberals don't bother reporting that Democrats, including their front-runner Hillary Clinton, were mistaken about WMD too. And I love the word "meaningful" regarding ties to al Qaeda. I guess liberals define the word "meaningful" however they want to make Bush look bad. I have a suggestion for liberals: get over it. We're in Iraq now, and we have to win.

Reason suggests the way to fix the election process is to make elections less important by dramatically reducing the size and scope of government.

Reason on Hillary Clinton, central planning and economic justice.

Bill and Hillary's smart, effective teamwork. Obama needs to ask harder questions about Hillary since he can be damn sure the press won't. What happened to the raw FBI files? Why was Billy Dale audited? Why did Hillary hide the subpoenaed records? What was Hillary hiding in Vince Foster's office? What does Hillary think of (name all the girls here) claims of being sexually assaulted by Bill? Does Hillary still plan to throw Americans in jail for using their own doctors? Why was Sandy Berger destroying documents, and why did Hillary give him a job afterward? It's Obama's job to bring all this up to insulate her in the general election.

Barack Obama is getting an education on the ruthlessness and amorality of the Clintons.

Obama and Clinton are exposing Democrats' true colors to the horror of the party.

Article lists John McCain's flip-flops for political expediency and wonders why the press loves McCain and hates Romney. McCain better not get used to it. If he win the nomination, the press will turn on him like coyotes on a rabbit.

Huckabee short on cash.

John Stossel explains how growing economic freedom around the world created a world-wide economic boom. The rest of the world learned the lessons of the success of the US, but the US didn't. We're going backward in economic freedom, and that's led us to the verge of recession, and the verge of an unprecedented crash in the next 15 years or so.

Thomas Sowell explains that people move between statistical categories, so comparing just those categories makes no sense.

Muslim woman who wouldn't remove headscarf sues salon owner who refused to hire her. I hope this woman loses and is has to pay huge fees for the salon owner.

The WSJ analyzes the positions of the candidates and shows just how damaging the Democrats will be to the economy. But the article ignores Ron Paul and dismisses the FairTax.

FairTax champion John Linder supports Huckabee.

Michelle Malkins says McCain can't be trusted on immigration. He can't be trusted on anything else either.

5 UN security council members agree to increased sanctions on Iran.

Venezuelans fleeing Chavez to Florida. It's Cuba all over again.

NASA and Bush to battle about the direction of the space program. Like every bloated, wasteful government bureaucracy, NASA should be phased out in favor of a small, effective, organization with very specific goals. The main goal should be to capture an asteroid and return it to earth orbit for mining, and the organization's focus should be on working with private enterprise to develop the technology necessary to do this.

The technology to divert any killer asteroids destined to strike the planet is unlikely to be developed until a need is identified, even though it may be necessary to save our species. Capturing an asteroid for mining provides the need. The operation would also provide tremendous resources for earth, building a moon base, or a Mars mission.

It's good for the country that taxes are taking priority in Florida.
