You’d think with all of the money they spend on it, they’d get better results, but it’s almost impossible to prove discrimination, even though it’s obvious to everyone that it is occurring.
Spending
Per capita federal expenditures have almost doubled since Carter, and go up almost regardless of which party is in the White House. Ironically, it was steady only under Bill Clinton, but that’s only because he gave himself a Republican Congress in the second year of his first term. George W. Bush had an opportunity top get it under control, but he was a disaster on that front (the biggest reason he lost the Congress in 2006, which led to even more disastrous spending).
The Higher-Education Bubble
Is it an opportunity to take back the culture from the Left? If so, it’s one we shouldn’t miss.
Change
But no hope:
I think that if “wilderness advocates” quoted in the story valued empty ocean more than an oyster farm, they should have paid him to stop, instead of getting the government to make him stop. But hey, that’s just me. The new way to get what you want is to have the state take it for you. It’s different from theft because there are uniforms and everything involved.
Tar and feathers.
Egyptian Moderates
If they want to remain moderate, they’re going to have to behave “immoderately.”
Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.
Eco-Terrorists And Asteroid Miners
What’s not to like in a book like that
Egypt’s “Moderate” and “Pragmatic” Dictator
More thoughts, over at PJMedia.
Palau
May be about to be wiped off the map. I doubt if the construction there is up to handling a monster storm like this (its closeness to the equator generally keeps storms like this away from it). I wouldn’t be surprised if thousands die.
Free Speech
Campuses have it on the run.
Well, what do you expect from something that costs so little?
Oh, wait.
No, there is no entitlement to not be offended.
The Trayvon Martin Case
I am shocked, of course.
