A response.
This is the sort of thing I was referring to when I said that Democrats and the left are anti-economics.
Well, She Wasn’t Being “Reasonable”
Is CBS news silencing its own reporter over her “Fast’n’Furious” coverage?
Tea Party In Space
They’re having a telecon this evening. Check in if you want to find out what they’ve been up to.
Tyranny
A Wisconsin judge rules that dairy farmers have no right to drink milk from their own cows.
[Update a few minutes later]
The judge is defended here, but I agree with commenters that the real problem is the reach of government.
Linux Bleg
Nautilus seems to be broken in my installation of Fedora 14. I try to launch it, and it appears in the task bar momentarily and then disappears. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Update a couple minutes later]
I’ve already uninstalled/reinstalled, in case anyone was going to suggest that.
[Update a while later]
Don’t know why, but now it’s working. Go figure.

A Letter To The Marching Morons
From David Freddoso:
Those people you left stuck in traffic have a hard time paying their bills and rents and health insurance and mortgages. They worry about things like finding decent schools for their children to attend and making sure they don’t get fired at work, and fixing leaking roofs and chimneys.
You know what they don’t worry about, ever? Smashing patriarchy and capitalism.
So when your organizers go on television and say things like, “It’s revolution, not reform!” and they’re not joking, those words might give some of these narrow-minded people an unpleasant, October 1917 kind of feeling.

The pathology of capitalism, new and improved with trutherism.
Who Is More Anti-Science?
Republicans, or Democrats?
My biggest problem with Democrats is that they’re anti-economics, with devastating results over the past decades.

Speaking of Republicans being anti-science, I don’t agree with Herman Cain that being gay is “a choice.” Being straight was never a “choice” for me.
The Era Of Free Stuff
…is over.
I think this is a good thing. A lot of people hate a la carte pricing, but when you bundle things, there are no signals as to what the real demand for various goods and services are. Also, I don’t like subsidizing other people for stuff that I don’t need.
