British representatives propose plan for carbon rationing card for every citizen. Maybe it will be like one of the radiation detector badges too, and it will measure how much CO2 (plant food) you exhale with every breath. This is the real goal of the Marxists who are pushing the global warming fraud - complete control of every individual on the planet by government. And every government aristocrat in the world loves that idea. Cato attacks Britain's plan for a carbon rationing card.

Americans are driving less. The price mechanism works. I'm sure the Marxists and actual environmentalists love the high price of oil. They don't want us to drill to lower the price.

House prices drop most in 20 years. The market is still correcting for the problems created by government. The flip side is that sales are up. For every lose, there's a winner. Now's the time to buy that new house. Of course, it's a bad time to sell your existing one. It always works out that way.

Farms opening up in Mexico are a good thing.

American businessman says he gave cash stuffed in envelopes to Israeli PM Olmert. That doesn't sound good for Olmert.

I doubt anybody is shocked that Iran is withholding information on its nuclear program.

Reason provides a review of how Bob Barr won a hard-fought battle for the Libertarian Party nomination. Notice reason calls Ruwart's child porn argument unforgettable, but doesn't condemn it. Condemning it isn't a true journalist's job, but Reason hasn't exactly been unbiased in its coverage - they clearly do not like Barr. Of course, this is the same Reason that keeps finding ways to praise Obama before mentioning he's the most overtly socialist candidate to ever run in America.

Every primary candidate has to say they think they'll be the stronger candidate in the general election, but to say the party is more likely to lose if Obama is a desperate way of framing it by Bill Clinton to keep Hillary relevant. He also stokes the sexism fires by calling calls for her to drop out "bullying". Calling for candidates to drop out is part of the process, unless they're directed at a girl, in which case they're "bullying". She's being treated "disrespectfully". Oh, the humanity! The reason Hillary's close friends have to try and convince everybody she's "genuine, principled and sane" is she's not.

McCain says he and Obama should go to Iraq together. That's an interesting ploy. Obama has to say no because by going to Iraq, he would be publicizing how much tremendous progress has been made, Iraq violence is at a 4 year low, but not going makes him look like he's afraid or hiding something.

Proving that the left is just as religious as the right, they just refuse to acknowledge it in themselves, Sharon Stone blames karma for earthquake in China. If Pat Robertson had done that, Sharon Stone would have been the second, behind me, to jump on him.

Cato explains that with the death of FARC's leader, half of their leadership, and the capture of many high ranking officials, FARC is in a crisis. I hope it falls apart. The sooner, the better.

Cato explains that increasing enforcement at the border won't stop illegal immigration, it will just increase corruption. The solution is remove the economic incentive for illegal immigration.
