US Administration's EPA Ready to Ban Over-the-Counter Asthma Inhalers
This is where the environmental fascists have taken us. While disregarding science that shows the Earth began a cooling trend in 1998, the politicians want to force people with asthma to no longer buy cheaper over-the-counter inhalers but to have to see DOCTORS AGAIN for PRESCRIPTIONS TO BUY MORE EXPENSIVE PRODUCTS.
No choice needed.
Ahh yes, the land of the "free".
And soon, these politicians will be dictating more medical decisions. Enjoy the future before it really arrives.

Irish Travellers Get Brief Stay of Eviction from THEIR OWN LAND in UK
This is an amazing story, first brought to our attention by Sophia. The Travellers are a nomadic group who travel in mobile homes. Years ago, they purchased this land, but the local "Council" claims that the Travellers do not have permission to park their mobile homes on the land. They sought an order to evict the people, and won in a High Court case.
Here is the latest:

Nobel Prize Winning Physicist Resigns Over Anthropogenic "Global Warming" Claims

Politics has been influencing science for years. The scientific method is no longer the standard for certain lines of inquiry. In fact, inquiry isn't even the correct term any more. It's propaganda in the guise of science.

Foreclosure Activity Increases - Again, Is Anyone Surprised By This?
This should have happened a long time ago. Home prices were artifically pumped up by government policies like the Community Reinvestment Act, the Clinton Justice Department's strong-arming of banks to hand out loans, low fed rates, and the existence of Fanny Mae to buy up the shaky mortgage securities. The entire price structure for houses needs to be re-aligned, seeing prices drop to move closely reflect their value (too many were built, thanks to those policies mentioned earlier). Only THEn will they be priced at a level that might see investors buy them and find some use for them.

Consumer Prices Jump AGAIN in August - NO, REALLY?!
In the Glaringly Obvious Department, the federal gubment has come out with their artifically low numbers on what they call "inflation", and guess what? Yeah, it's rising rapidly. In other words, the inflation of the money supply that has already happened and continues to happen is now seeing its bitter fruits: HIGHER PRICES. And note, the CPI and core "inflation" index have been changed TWICE to remove certain things like food and gas prices, thus keeping the numbers lower than they would be if real.

NH House Overrides Gubnor's Veto of Self-Defense Bill
Great news! It is even more welcome after the political circus NH gubnor John Lynch atttempted to conduct with the help of his unionized "law enforcement" pals. These thugs actually threatened to do everything they could to make sure supporters of self-defense wouldn't get re-elected.
So next time you see one of those dumb bumper stickers that says, "NH Troopers are your best defense", on the back of someone's car, remind him or her that cops are rarely at the scene of a crime as it happens. YOUR BEST DEFENSE IS SELF-DEFENSE WITH A FIREARM. THAT IS A FACT.
Here's the article!

Book Review: L. Neil Smith's "Ceres"
Ceres is the most recent installment of the Ngu family saga. The Ngu's were spawned by human Martian settlers, who clashed with United Nations forces sent from Earth to quash dissent. The Ngu's went on to settle other worlds. It helps a bit if you have a cursory knowledge of the solar system's geography, as Smith's creative universe extends from planet Earth, to the dwarf planets of Pallas and Ceres (in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter).

Prez Proposes $300 Billion MORE in Spending and "Tax Cuts"
Of course, those "tax cuts" are really expansions of the EITC, the "Earned Income Tax Credit", which is the way they shovel money out to people who don't pay income taxes. It's a bit of a strange animal, since payroll taxes are the way the feds steal money for the bogus Social Security "Insurance" program, and you're supposed to be able to "get it back" when you get old and rusty. The trouble is that the EITC gives back MORE than what many recipients of the "credit" put into it, thus making it a redistribution of wealth scheme perpetrated through the tax code and tax "refunds" via the EITC.
Mr. Obama would like to increase the amount of redistribution, while INCREASING taxes on others to pay for it and for the other spending in his $300 Billion plan.
Big Sis Napolitano: "As TSAR I SAY: 'Your Privacy is SAFE!'" - Is She Correct?

She's not only wrong, she's intentionally deceiving people. In other words, she's LYING.

Wikileaks Disaster: All Their Files Released, Unredacted
So, the question for people who want to be aware of what the government is doing with the money it takes from them is, perhaps, this:
How does one view the risks to lives of informants and agents who migh tbe exposed by the release of these classified documents?
Anarcho-capitalists know the answer, and it arises from a supposition, that the state is illegitimate, and would not be doing this in the first place... it certainly didn't protect the names of those it promised to keep secret, did it?

Obama Admin Backs Off Burdensome Energy Regulations
With the "official" unemployment numbers over 9% (the real number of unemployed is closer to 17-18%), and NEW job growth at 0%, the Obama Administration has shut down proposed EPA smog standards that would shut down 40% of the coal-burning power plants in the US and cost power companies up to $90 billion.
But, but... We were told by the brilliantine statists that these kinds of impositions would CREATE GREEN JOBS, right?
So why not impose these costs and MORE?
