Free kibbles

Even the liberal news section of the Wall Street Journal says Obama gave too many concessions to the Russians. "Whether Mr. Obama will profit from his efforts to make Russia a stronger ally depends in part on the magnanimity of Moscow". Want to bet how that works out for us?

Here we go again. Obama has been remarkably silent on China's crackdown in Xinjiang because, as always, he's on the side of the violent tyrants. Guide to China's ethnic groups.

Google to create browser operating system. Interesting. Microsoft can't be too happy.

This doesn't sound accurate to me, "announcing an agreement with hospitals to cut $155 billion in government costs over the next 10 years." Why would government have to negotiate with hospitals to cut $155 billion in government costs? Government can cut the costs it imposes on hospitals by reducing regulations and bureaucracy without any negotiation. This sounds to me more like a plan where hospitals pay more to cover the uninsured, but they don't want to shoulder that burden alone. It sounds like the government is adding an additional $155 billion burden onto hospitals in return for mandates on health care coverage. This is certain to make health care more expensive. This article is misleading. I like how the details are locked away behind a subscriber wall so the vast majority of readers can't see them.

North Korea has been cyber-attacking US and South Korean computers for a week. Let's make sure this insane mouse can't become a nuclear monster.

Leaders of developing nations aren't interested in cutting green house gases. If CO2 was a real problem, we'd be screwed. This would be a classic example of the tragedy of the commons. But since CO2 is a plant food and because of its properties, no matter how much you pump into the atmosphere, it won't dangerously raise temperatures, it doesn't matter. But this is why the global warming movement is so dangerous. It's a movement driving by the desire to create one world communist government.

Economics is not a matter of belief.

Mises scholar agrees with me that the Pickens plan is just another central plan to be avoided. I'm sure Pickens is very unhappy that the government didn't boost his investments by taking money from people by force on his behalf.

Powerful letter written by a libertarian black university professor after Obama was elected.

Small business owners and tax payers are finally waking up to the Obama agenda, they're mad as heck about tax and trade, and they want it stopped. They should have woken up earlier. Who are these people that are just waking up? And who are those people who haven't woken u yet?
