Free kibbles

Our wars should not be funded by emergency legislation. Those expenses are predictable. It's just a way to fool the American people into not revolting over the budget.

Police collecting DNA from arrested men who have not been convicted.

Online journalist suing city for revoking his press credentials.

Serbs attack US embassy in Belgrade to protest Kosovo independence.

US anti-missile missile destroys failing satellite. Cool video. This was not just simply (?) shooting down the satellite. The mission was to destroy the fuel tank to destroy the toxic fuel and also to make the debris tiny and fall back to earth to burn up. That's a lot of detailed planning and targeting. China wants our data. I'm sure they do. Tough. I don't remember them providing us their data when they blatantly tested an anti-satellite weapon that left a dangerous debris field that's still in orbit.

Police Lieutenant tasers cow and emails video to fellow police officers, illustrating just how widespread abuse of power and lack of empathy is in police officers. This is the kind of thing sociopaths do to animals.

This guy makes a lot of bizarre assumptions about energy independence. Energy dependence doesn't require protectionism any more than daylight does. If solar energy became viable, every country would be energy independent and could still trade with each other.

Oil tops $101 per barrel. Gold hits record high.

This headline misses the point: "Undocumented students face problems on campus". That's because they don't belong in our country, let alone on our campuses.

Australian report claims that China and India are speeding climate change. Of course that's wrong since the earth is cooling because of reduced solar activity. But it still shows the true agenda of the Marxists who have hijacked the environmentalism movement - they want to harm America and the west, not solve climate change.

Reason calls John McCain the tonic for the Republicans. What? This guy is just more of the same, but with an even more liberal and more hawkish approach to governing. It's the worst of both worlds.

McCain refutes NYTimes impropriety accusation. The NYTime is between a rock and a hard place on this story. Critics are accusing them of holding the story, but anybody who reads it is accusing them of a hatchet job because the story is nothing but rumor and innuendo, unsourced. Did they wait until the McCain nomination was secure so he would win?

Both Clinton and Obama have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Jack Abramoff's lobbying firm.

This worship of Obama is unseemly, unhealthy and ultimately counterproductive to his campaign. Obama's flock has checked their brains at the door and critical thinking is absent in them. Half of liberals are falling for this stuff, but the rest of the country will not fall for meaningless platitudes, they will be turned off by his vacuous followers. Crowd applauds Obama for blowing his nose.

Israeli MP blames earthquakes on tolerance for gays.

Google to store health care data. When unrestrained by government, the free market will make health care cheaper and more effective. Obviously this data is subject to being hacked because it is online, but any database carries that risk.

The lunar eclipse was excellent last night.

Lawrence Kudlow claims Hillary is finished, and he notes her Marxist speech bashing capitalism and free trade in Wisconsin as a repudiation of Bill Clinton's presidency and showing her true colors in desperation. Obama was further to the left, first. Hillary will hate Bill forever for convincing her to pretend to move to the middle, among other things.

The debate tonight should be a doozy. Clinton is going to go for the jugular. Maybe she'll cry too. Or tell a story about Chelsea crying. That might be the better calculated move.

Boortz explains that government and press started pushing the idea that our government was a democracy during the Wilson administration so it could pass welfare laws. There's nothing compassionate about welfare, mob rule, or misleading the public.

Holy crap! Look at the salaries for these eco-bureaucrats in San Fransisco.

Muslim representative Keith Ellison's ties to radical Muslim organizations.

McCain is losing independent voters to Obama.

Arctic ice is back to normal (it melts in the summer, and the hysteria was explained this summer, but the press didn't report that the melting was normal - just that the ice was melting). Antarctic ice is 1/3 more than normal. We're having a record cold winter. People are dying right and left in winter storms. But we have to be afraid of global warming, and we have to self-flagellate by making ourselves poor in a worthless attempt to cut CO2. I hope we have enough money for warmer coats.

The WSJ presents some interesting questions that reporters should be asking the Democrat candidates about health care, but aren't. Another question they should ask is what percentage of health care costs are already paid for by taxpayers (60%), and why they think we should put even more of a burden on taxpayers. Another is since government subsidies are responsible for spiraling health care and insurance costs, why do they think that increasing the government subsidies and further increasing demand will help make health care cheaper. The last one is a doozy because it shows that the Democrats' plans are designed to fail so that they can implement 100% socialized medicine.

Most of our health expenditures go to treatment for smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise. This guy understands that the health insurance companies and government both win the more government gets involved in health care. Doctors also win because people don't take responsibility for their own health. Taxpayers, who are also the patients, lose. If we had free market health care instead of our current, mostly socialized, medicine plan, people would be healthier, wealthier, and happier because they would take care of themselves and spend less on health care than they're paying now through their taxes.

TV news just reported that Ohio law could make you libel if you shovel your walks, but not if you don't. That's dumb. You shouldn't be libel either way - if people can't walk in the snow, it's their own fault.
