Free kibbles

Handicapped by the most oppressive tax system in the free world, GM is surpassed by Toyota in world-wide production. This can be quickly remedied by adopting the FairTax.

The US has abysmal computer security. But I doubt a big government program is the solution.

The housing market hasn't finished correcting yet. New home sales fall by record amount.

Oil prices may have peaked. Or maybe not. It depends on supply, demand, and how events drive speculation.

Palestinian leader Abbas wins support from Arab leaders to take over Gaza border from Hamas. We can expect the Hamas terrorists to start more violence.

McCain tells Florida voters to stay tuned for more wars. It sounds like he plans to fight wars instead of finding peaceful solutions. I think he has a 1 track mind. McCain is running for Sec. of War, and we need to remind him that we eliminated that post by eliminating him. Scarborough and Buchanan believe him.

McCain still wants to reward gate crashers with legal status.

Ron Paul slams the bipartisan welfare package being sold as a tax rebate. He says you can't solve the problem of the crashing dollar by printing more money. Reason agrees. Cato agrees.

Kennedy endorses Obama. This campaign just gets worse and worse.

Splitting hairs: Hillary doesn't technically campaign in Florida, but she does. Chelsea Clinton politely asks Ron Paul supporters to stop chanting so she can talk, and they do. Too bad neither her mother nor her father have that much class, and too bad most supporters don't have the class of those Ron Paul supporters.

Hydrogen cars lack fuel stations. It takes fossil fuel to create the hydrogen fuel, and the laws of thermodynamics tell us that energy transfer is lossy process, so hydrogen cars probably produce more greenhouse gases than gasoline cars.

Christopher Hitchens reminds us how the Clintons have previously exploited race.

Cato supports free trade with Columbia for economic and political reasons.

Cato explains that John McCain has no respect for the first amendment. And if you don't respect the first amendment, and pass laws that infringe upon it instead of repealing it, then you don't respect the Constitution either.

Even Frank Rich recognizes the vulnerabilities of the Clintons.

George Will describes how John McCain is using Clintonian tactics to attack Romney.

Thomas Sowell is skeptical of government bailouts. Then he describes the cheap shots the Clintons have taken at Obama about race.

The Clintons have been working surreptitiously in Florida despite their promise not to campaign. What a surprise.

How stupid is our government? The federal government blocks US companies from drilling for oil off the Florida coast by Cuba, but Cuba and China have jointly agreed to drill for that same oil in that same place. Our government would give that oil and that revenue to China and Cuba instead developing that resource, stimulating our economy, and keeping our money in the US. We have to be the dumbest people on earth. If we can think of an incredibly stupid policy to hurt America, we'll do it.
