Free kibbles

I find it hard to believe that IE is faster than either Chrome or Firefox, and I don't trust Microsoft as far as I can throw them, but even if it's true, IE still doesn't implement CSS correctly after many years. IE is a joke, and Microsoft is a crappy software developer.

Great quote explaining how corrosive the Fed is to the private sector.

Hardly ever do the advocates of free capitalism realize how utterly their ideal was frustrated at the moment the state assumed control of the monetary system…. A "free" capitalism with government responsibility for money and credit has lost its innocence. From that point on it is no longer a matter of principle but one of expediency how far one wishes or permits governmental interference to go. Money control is the supreme and most comprehensive of all government controls short of expropriation.

That's exactly what we've seen for 100 years.

The perils of ignoring the Austrian economists.

Boortz proposes a 1 year tax amnesty on dollars currently working overseas. This sounds like a great idea to me, but the FairTax is a better idea.

President Obama and his Democrat allies have spent $1 billion of our tax dollars every hour since he took office.

FBI raids office of Obama's pick for chief information officer in corruption investigation. Obama taps yet another Washington insider. Every person he's tapped is a Washington insider, a professional politician, a lobbyist, or Chicago crony. He's limited himself to the worst of all possible choices. I'm telling you, they're all corrupt, and Obama wouldn't know how to work with an honest man if he had to, and that's why he's limited himself to just corrupt people.

Walmart to offer online health records in competition with Google and Microsoft. But Obama is trying to destroy this efficient, private sector tool by having government take it over, not to help patients, but so he can stick a health are cop between you and your doctor.

One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions (442, 446). These provisions in the stimulus bill are virtually identical to what Daschle prescribed in his 2008 book, “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis.” According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners.”

Do you want incredibly successful businesses like Walmart and Google, which have an interest in your continued patronage, assisting your doctor, or do you want to put your life in the hands of an organization like the DMV and a government that's salivating to take half of your stuff from your family as soon as you die?

The death tax makes it in government's interest for you to die, and if we give government control of our health care, they can insure that happens sooner rather than later.

Orbital junk threatening space missions. We need an orbital vacuum cleaner. Or lasers and water.

Because big government created this economic crisis, we need bigger government to make sure it won't happen again. Geithner suggests new regulations for the economy. They'll either make the next crisis worse or harm the economy. The solution is to get government out of our economy.

Newt Gingrich highlights a study showing that for every 3 workers coerced into joining a union by card check, 1 job will be eliminated in America. Wow. He also has an online petition opposing card check. The bill has been introduced in the Senate, but the House doesn't want to touch this disaster in the making unless the Senate passes it first, so now's the time to contact your Senators.

Madoff pleads guilty. I wonder if the supporters of Social Security will ever plead guilty for their Ponzi scheme. Text of Madoff's confession.

British officials says it's incredibly hard to work with the Obama administration. No doubt. So Obama is alienating the British while considering opening ties to Iran. All those people who were afraid Obama was a Muslim Manchurian Candidate are getting more sure every day.

Our tax dollars are going to preserve and strengthen the legacy of the Kennedys. That's outrageous. If you like the Kennedys, preserve their legacy yourself and stop taking money from the rest of by force to support your anti-American heroes.

Florida bill would stimulate the economy by abolishing the government agency responsible for economic growth. Hallelujah! Every dollar government spends on economic growth sucks more than a dollar out of the economy. Somebody gets it, and it has a chance of going somewhere.

Obama offers Faustian bargain to business leaders: support his unprecedented power grabs on education, health care and destroying American's energy companies, and he'll compromise on the corporate income tax rate and cap and trade. Even with the corporate tax rate cut, American businesses and citizens will lose. Business leaders should offer an alternative: cut the corporate tax rate, abandon the cap and trade policy, and they won't move their companies out of the US.

Desperate global warming frauds try to alarm people about rising sea levels once again. They know if they don't get their anti-capitalist legislation passed soon, it'll never happen.

Cato thinks the companies that are in the biggest trouble are unionized. Unfortunately, that's not true. The financial sector isn't unionized, and it's in the biggest trouble of all. It's probably true that outside the financial sector, the companies in the worst shape are unionized.

Cato exposes the self-serving motives of Democrats who ended the school voucher program in Washington D.C. and compares the costs of a D.C. government school education and a private school education. You probably already know which one costs significantly more.

Cato explains how Obama's budget is an extension of Bush's precedents.

Cato projects that protectionist policies will be short lived. Let's hope so.

Not exactly pro-life, Reason still argues against funding embryonic stem cell research on moral grounds.

George Will says Obama is overexposed. Tell me about it.

Beautiful ugly pictures of Detroit show how much devastation big, bureaucratic, corrupt, liberal government and their corrupt, big-union partners wreak on society. Wow.

Britain changes no smoking laws so G20 representatives don't have to go outside to smoke. We are not free. We are ruled by government aristocrats, and it will stay that way until we take our power back. Never be fooled into thinking otherwise.

Now that government has taxed cigarettes into the stratosphere, caffeine is next.

Off duty cop arrests man for dropping a couple of F-bombs. WTF?

Germany charges 88 year old retired Ohio auto worker with 29,000 counts of accessory to murder as a Nazi guard. I hope they got the right guy.
