This Real ID battle is stupid because Congress passed a stupid law. This is another case where passing stupid laws undermines the rule of law because Homeland Security and states simply won't follow the law. Governing should not be a contest of wills. If large portions of the population, like entire states, reject a law, it shouldn't be passed.

Not only is risk taking likely to be reduced on Wall Street, it will most likely increase. Knowing that the Fed and the government will bail them out for bad investments, businesses have no incentive to use good judgment. This financial crisis has planted the seeds for the next one, which will be even worse. Government should stay out of the free market instead of providing incentives for irresponsible behavior.

Scientist states what everybody who knows, but many refuse to admit, the planet has been cooling for 10 years and that is inconsistent with the man-made global warming fraud. Ocean temperatures haven't risen either, which is also inconsistent with the global warming fraud. These frauds don't the let the facts get in the way of their global Marxist con.

Taiwan elects leader seeking closer ties to China. If China plays this right, and starts talking instead of threatening, it could lower tensions in the Taiwan Strait.

Antiwar protesters arrested outside NATO HG in Brussels when they attempted to force their way into the building. I don't understand the mentality of people who want to lose a war, empowering enemies to bring the war to their home country and kill them.

Peru accuses Chavez of funding subversives with Venezuela's oil wealth. Why not? Chavez is the Ahmadinejad of South America.

Tibet is suffering a series of sophisticated, coordinated cyber attacks that almost have to be coming from the Chinese government.

Slate wonders of the prosecution of Eliot Spitzer put our civil rights in jeopardy. While the Spitzer investigation seems overly aggressive, I don't have a problem with that when it comes to political figures. If you're going to wield that kind of power over the rest of us, any illegal activity you do should be aggressively investigated and prosecuted. Leave the rest of us alone.

I'm glad to learn the White House destroys its old hard drives. That might be one of the few things government does right. I wouldn't have been surprised to learn we ship them to Russia or China.

Reason attempts to declare some equivalence between Wright and Falwell, but they never actually explain the equivalence, because it doesn't exist. Falwell was preaching racism or hate, and no president was a member of Falwell's church anyway.

Michigan fails to enact plan for revote. It looks like Michigan and Florida really will be left out of the Democrat nomination process. Those states made their beds, now they have to lie in them.

Only 44% of Americans consider Hillary Clinton trustworthy. We know who is easily fooled. 67% find McCain trustworthy. I trust McCain to get us into more wars. 63% find Obama trustworthy. I trust Obama to be the most socialist president in history.

Showing why he's beloved by the Clintons, James Carville compares Bill Richardson to Judas for backing Obama. Carville is as slimy as the Clintons.

Google patents being able to detect and track kids on the web for ad targeting.

Chip could run on body heat. I don't see how that would work because you don't get power from heat, you get power from a heat differential. I don't think one part of the heart is hotter than another.

Legal issues with trying to resale ebooks.

The large hadron collider is expected to begin operation this year.

Interesting discussion of monetary policy, interest rates, trade, intellectual property, and the bankruptcy and destruction of the US. I don't know if this guy is legit, he claims we're not just bankrupt for future entitlement spending, but we're bankrupt from our current foreign debt. I'm going to have to do more research on this. I would like to hear Ron Paul speak about this in depth.
