ECONOMY:

Science and engineering workforce in the US has been flat for a decade.

REGULATION:

This headline cracks me up: "FCC Inquires Into Its Own Authority to Regulate Communication Service Shutdowns" That's like saying mafia dons inquire into their own authority to break knees. I bet the author of this headline has been summarily fired. You can't make this stuff up.

HEALTH CARE:

Wow. This is an uplifting story about how a child and a family suffered under the government's food guidelines and finally made themselves healthy by abandoning them and going primal.

No matter how much damage government causes, government agents always calls for more. In this case, government researchers call on government to ban skinny models because they promote anorexic behavior. You can't make this stuff up. Instead of addressing why families are being destroyed, leaving young women vulnerable to eating disorders - government - they focus on the consequences of that destruction. It's like they're doctors licensed by government or something.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Remember when Obama forced BP to pony up $20 billion after the gulf oil spill non-event? Remember when, in response, I said that government regulations allow government's corporate agents to get avoid the legal consequences of their actions, and this would be a case in point? Now it turns out BP will only have to pay $7.8 billion. This is a perfect example of how government protects its giant, corporate agents at the expense of the people.

POLICE STATE:

Startup wants to look through every online camera in your house to develop marketing data. Marketing data my butt. The government wants this.

POLITICS:

There's a core of truth in this article: if Ron Paul can't beat Romney in Virginia, where there are the only two candidates on the ballot, he can't win the nomination. Win or go home. If he fails to win Virginia, he's fighting only for leverage at the convention, which is a fine thing that I'll support, but it's not victory. Call me naive, but I believe Americans are dying for a libertarian message like Ronald Reagan gave them. But Paul has failed to deliver a message like that. Reagan was perfect at delivering that message. Paul rambles and fails to make the crucial points that Americans can understand. It's a shame that Reagan won as a faux libertarian while Paul will likely lose as a real libertarian, but we'll probably be killed by an asteroid, solar flare, nuclear holocaust and killer bees all at the same time.

As if on queue, Romney criticizes Limbaugh. What a freaking idiot. Did Obama pay him? He should have remained silent, as should have Obama. For the last year, I've presented arguments supporting the case that Romney is the Republican Obama. He keeps proving me right.

 MEDIA:

Obama promotes Limbaugh. This is a bad idea. This might do more to restore momentum to Republicans than Republicans are capable of doing themselves. I think Limbaugh just provided Republicans a huge, strategic gain.

Rush Limbaugh is single-handedly killing Obama and the Democrats. Nancy Pelosi selfishly hauled some college chick into a hearing so she could advocate for subsidized contraception. In other words, she wants us to subsidize her sex life. I understand that his might work for Nancy Pelosi in her district, but nationwide, 90 percent of Americans are going to reject the idea that the government must steal money from them to subsidize her sex life. I understand why Pelosi made this case: it made her richer. I also understand why Rush Limbaugh jumped all over this. He's siding with the 90 percent of Americans who think this is outrageous. His stance will make him a ton of money too. What I don't understand is why Obama injected himself into this orgy of selfishness. Obama can only lose. He's alienating 90 percent of Americans in order to curry favor with a few college sluts who want everybody else to subsidize their sexual activities. I can't believe Obama screwed up this badly. It's important to realize that Limbaugh was carrying water for Santorum on this issue.

Quicken Loans and Domino's Pizza are pulling ads from Limbaugh's program. At first I thought this was a bad business decision. But on second thought, these businesses depend on college students. I understand that businesses that depend on college students might side with promiscuous college students begging for taxpayer handouts. But they do so against the great majority of Americans. I live with normal Americans. I know what they think about this, and I have yet to hear any individual claim they want to have government steal their money to subsidize the sex lives of these establishment law school students.
