Free kibbles

TAX AND SPEND:

UK village government takes three years and spends £8,000 to change two streetlights.

Democrats pass another $26 billion bailout for teacher's unions.

This is a good way of putting it: all the money ever collected from Social Security taxes is gone. This Ponzi scheme is broke, and if anybody but government was running it, they would be in jail for the rest of their lives.

GLOBAL WARMING:

I've posted a number of articles about how NOAA temperature data is corrupted to make it appear warmer than it actually is, but the claims of fraud in this article seem exaggerated.

POLICE STATE:

ISP owner partially freed from FBI gag order regarding national security letter after six years.
"Despite the fact that the FBI later dropped its demand for the records, Merrill was prohibited from telling his fiancée, friends or family members that he had received the letter or that he was embroiled in a lawsuit challenging its legitimacy. He occasionally showed up for court hearings about the case, but sat silently in the audience with other court observers. In 2007, he was prevented from publicly accepting an award for his courage from the American Civil Liberties Union, because he was not allowed to identify himself as the plaintiff in the case."
That's nuts. Why are we doing this to ourselves?

POLITICS:

The key to a Republican victory is running against big-government not on the culture wars.

LOCAL:

Because our energy supply system is a fascist institution, controlled by aristocrats for aristocrats, government is asking people to conserve energy during the heat wave. Only government could be that heartless and cruel. If the private sector provided energy, there would be plenty available during heat waves, it would just cost a little more because of the higher demand, just as it would cost less during periods of lower demand. Nobody would suffer or die from lack of energy like we see every year from government dominated energy suppliers.

MISC:

Human-like robot to assist astronauts on space station.
