Free kibbles

Washington D.C. police abandon their unconstitutional police state check-points after 8 D.C. citizens are shot in 1 night. Freedom is always the right answer, never tyranny. Lift the gun ban, and the violence will drop dramatically.

Government considers cracking down on speculators. Can't have people making investments and earning a profits, now can we? More regulation means a worse economy. Government is driving all this speculation. If it wants to stop it, it should extract itself from the private sector.

Terrorists break out all the prisoners including 400 Taliban fighters in Kandahar's main prison.

Irish voters reject strengthening the EU. Why should they? Ireland has the most thriving economy in Europe because of low tax rates. Why would they surrender power to the EU which would drag them down? In this go round, only the political elites managed to cut the people out of the process in every country except Ireland because this power grab has been rejected by French and Dutch voters before. Cato welcomes the result from the only country which employed the democratic process.

Europeans are buying up US companies. Including Anheuser-Busch. Government will "explore every option" to stop this. Really? How lowering taxes and reducing the size and scope of government so Americans can richer and by European companies? I doubt they'll explore that option.

Inflation jumps in May. Who'd have guessed? This inflation statistic is rigged. They cut out the most inflationary things you have to buy like gasoline.

The Weather Channel founder asks Al Gore where is the global warming? I'm sure he doesn't really expect an answer.

Reason describes FCC corruption.

Obama is smart to avoid town hall meetings with McCain.

Ron Paul steals the show at the Texas Republican convention. Cato says 10 to 20% of the electorate are libertarians. That's not a very accurate count. And let's not forget all the libertarian non-voters who have been driven out of the system by the 2 parties.

NBA commissioner Stern says NBA officials don't manipulate games. What's he supposed to say? Did you expect him to admit it? Of course officials manipulate games. Everybody knows of the "Jordan rules". Manipulating games is the part and parcel of being an NBA official. They make calls that favor the home team. They make calls that favor the stars. They make calls that favor extending play-off series. And they make calls that favor large market teams.

Complex molecules that are building blocks of life found in asteroid. This implies life may be common in the galaxy and the universe.

Tim Russert dies of heart attack at work. Wow. He was one of the most fair, hard on everybody, interviewers out there.
