In addition, these stupid projects, wasted on perfectly sound infrastructure and roads, made it more difficult and expensive to repair the infrastructure and roads that really were in disrepair! What a waste! The Congress and Administration ignored the majority of Americans who KNEW this would result in failure, fraud and financial ruin! We should not have to pay for it!

A petard being, of course, a bomb.

Ahh... Harry Reid. Can we discover any more about this guy to make us think of him in any LOWER terms? Let's see... Socialist, liar, intellectually corrupt, arrogant, and foolish. Nice!

So much to say but too little time... Check out these articles:

Health takeover to penalize marriage: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB126281943134818675.html (Note the twisted logic and numerous perverse incentives! Also recall that the government will destroy private insurance and force people to take these "subsidies".)

And, of course, the vast numbers of people who are no longer even LOOKING for work is not counted in the unemployment figures. But that's okay, because there's no WAY prices are going to start rising to make it worse... IS there? :-)

But remember, the TSA should get MORE money after it fails, over, and over, and over...

Don't you worry! And certainly don't bother thinking about a private system as possibly being more accountable and responsive!

And that Constitution thing? Hey, planes go over state borders, so why not MISREAD the document and get involved in air travel regulation?

Outrageous! In this story, the Slovakian government placed explosives and bomb components in unsuspecting passengers' luggage. Any civillian caught with these materials would suffer very severe consequences. This is not the first time this has happened; a couple years ago, the French government also lost the explosives that it placed in unsuspecting passenger luggage. It is bad enough to search luggage but to open up the luggage of an unknowing and unconsenting passenger to place contraband? This poor passenger had his apartment raided, was labeled a terrorist and detained. What would have happened had the Slovak government not fessed up?

A Pyrrhic victory for those who believe in liberty and treating their neighbors in a peaceful manner. The machine he helped create continues to do it's evil work.

More tomorrow!

Look forward to a great chat with Ziggy, as we discuss the departure of David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor (shown in the UK on the 1st of January, 2010, and today, Jan 2, on BBC America in the US), and the new Prisoner series, plus a look at how government has kept Ziggy offline for nearly two weeks because it has created a tragedy of the commons in his neighborhood.

Will be posted soon! Be Seeing You!

Since there isn't any private market allowed by government, the "security" agency that fails to keep people safe in the air now wants to invade the freedom of the press.

So, homosexual couples, and heterosexual couples, is this example enough to coax you to question the involvement of THE STATE in marriage?

It wasn't like this until the later 1800's. There is no need to involve government in marriage. But it seems people need to see troubling stories like this to start looking critically at the issue.

The "war on drugs" in its most pernicious form. Sad and angering.

It's a good thing all the government of the US and various states do is imprison people, take their property, ruin lives, and inspire gang violence that ends up seeing lives lost. What a relief to know that "western democracies" are so civilized compared to the east, huh?

Incredible. When will people see that they should not be comfortable with a group of people -- called the government, and those who voted for the ones in office -- taking their money against their will, and throwing it into the cesspool of government?

Enjoy the ride on the bus tomorrow, kids.

Now it goes to 'conference committee' with the House version.

There are differences, such as the Senate provision to provide abortions, and the House provision that creates a so-called 'public option', but in the end, these differences do not matter. They will compromise, and they will produce a final bill that has as its central axis the mandatory elimination of all preexisting condition clauses currently in use by private insurance companies. A few years after that, the politicians will be able to do anything they desire, because the rates for private insurance will have gone through the proverbial roof.

This has been the trick they played in state after state throughout the late 1990's and early 2000's, and it will be what they do nationally.

Interesting. It also shows the hypocrasy of these state politicians when it comes to RECEIVING unconstitutional handouts from the feds. Why aren't they consistent?
