That is an epic rant on how the Leftists are pro-choice only on one issue, and anti-choice on every other one.
I have to say, I’ve rarely heard him say anything with which I disagree.

“Safety Is The Number One Priority”
Ray LaHood, who I won’t miss, is right on cue. As I note in comments, someone ought to write a book about that.
More On Toxic Greenery
Really, someone should use this data to get rid of the idiotic bans on plastic bags.
Warning of disease may seem like an over-the-top scare tactic, but research suggests there’s more than anecdote behind this industry talking point. In a 2011 study, four researchers examined reusable bags in California and Arizona and found that 51 percent of them contained coliform bacteria. The problem appears to be the habits of the reusers. Seventy-five percent said they keep meat and vegetables in the same bag. When bags were stored in hot car trunks for two hours, the bacteria grew tenfold.
That study also found, happily, that washing the bags eliminated 99.9 percent of the bacteria. It undercut even that good news, though, by finding that 97 percent of people reported that they never wash their bags.
They’ll take my plastic bags away from my cold, dead fingers.

Brown Versus Green
Will the California coastal elites continue to destroy the state’s economy?
They’ll certainly try to. And as he notes, this would be a great opportunity for the state GOP, if it wasn’t brain dead.

The IRS estimates that the cheapest plan will cost $20K a year.
But remember, if you like your plan, you can keep it.
Libertarianism
The top ten ways to talk about it:
5. At Tom Palmer’s urging, I created a speech, or at least a speech opening, around the theme that “Libertarianism is the application of science and reason to the study of politics and public policy.” That is, libertarians deal in reality, not magic. We know that government doesn’t have magical powers to ignore the laws of economics and human nature.
4. Inspired by Robert Fulghum’s bestseller All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, I like to tell people that you learn the essence of libertarianism — which is also the essence of civilization — in kindergarten:
Don’t hit other people.
Don’t take their stuff.
Keep your promises.
I never fail to be amused by the pretension of the Left that they’re the “reality-based community.”
