A bunch of reasons to have one.
I’m not particularly persuaded by the carbon footprint thing, though.

If you ignore all the stuff about the Hobby Lobby ruling, this is probably the nuttiest thing you’ll read today.

The case for libertarian populism. There are a lot of good ideas there.

Let’s treat Lois Lerner the way she and the rest of the IRS would treat us.
Yes, the Republicans should pass a bill to allow it.
…and how to make it better.
Well, partially because it’s being dishonestly rammed down our throats to promote economically harmful policies.
This isn’t new, but I don’t think I linked it at the time. Eric Berger reports on the people working SLS:
May turns the cost issue around.
“My question would be, how could we afford not to do this?” May asked. “Great nations explore. Great nations push their boundaries. And this country has continued to the limits of what we know and learn for a generation, and I think we’ve got to continue to explore.”
And in the larger perspective, he argues, SLS does not cost that much. NASA spends about $1.6 billion a year building it, less than 9 percent of the space agency’s total budget, he said, which is itself less than one half of one percent of the federal budget.
“I think it’s a relatively small amount of money to set the leadership for the world in space exploration,” he says.
Count the number of logical fallacies in just those four grafs.
Why they lie about how poor they are.
They have to pretend to not be part of the plutocracy. Of course, they have to lie about a lot of things to get elected.
The denial industry.
They have to lie and deny it. It’s their only hope of keeping the bubble inflated.
As Glenn says, this does seem like a criminal conspiracy by the Justice Department to deprive people of their civil rights because the administration doesn’t like the kind of (legal) business they’re in. They should certainly have standing to file a lawsuit. We have to stand up against these thugs.
