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.
If they want to remain moderate, they’re going to have to behave “immoderately.”
Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.
What’s not to like in a book like that
More thoughts, over at PJMedia.
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.
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.
I am shocked, of course.
Will it go the way of McCain-Feingold?
There’s still plenty to litigate, and Roberts, having been burned by the election, is unlikely to give it any more passes.
It’s the spending, stupid. And not the war spending.
As Glenn’s emailer notes, it started to skyrocket right after the Democrats took over Congress in 2007. Before that we were on track to a balanced budget. The fiscal crisis would have certainly caused a spike in the deficit with reduced revenues, but absent the insane economic policies of the first two years of the Obama administration, the economy would have bounced back just as sharply as it dropped, as it does in most other recessions.
The case for drinking as much as you like.
I’ve been thinking about starting to drink it for health reasons, but “as much as I like” is currently none at all — I’ve just never developed a taste for it, and I’ve never envied people who seem (or claim to be) unable to function in the morning without it. I don’t want to get dependent on it in that way. From the article, the most obvious benefit is to reduce triglycerides, but mine are already very low from my paleo diet.
It wouldn’t be hard for me to take it up, because I make a pot for Patricia every morning. I’d just have to make more.
So I still don’t know what to do about it.
