Reason TV – What happened to the anti-war protests?
If you have not been watching the high-quality Reason TV videos during the last few months, you’re missing some good Web content. This video gets into the anti-war protests from the past, and the lack of mainstream Democrats protesting now.
Read MoreDemocrats and the new “civil” discourse
Just a little wrap up for you lefties out there, once again proving my original thesis that when the left calls for civility, they really mean you folks on the right should shut up and take out “hate” language. Bonus video: CK on the new civility.
Read MoreMatthews and Michael Hirsh: Gun metaphors should be treated like the “N” word
Yet one more attempt by Matthews to draw a link between Tucson shootings and political talk from the right. My guess is the left is not going to quit on this narrative. As Congressman Cohen said yesterday … repeat a lie often enough. No wait, that was about the right. Sorry.
Read MoreCongress considering bankruptcy option for states, not just cities
Those of us who have even a brief history in business economics understand you can’t make promises that are unsustainable. You’d have to be a fool to make a business decision now, that would result in undetermined future liabilities decades in advance. That’s exactly what our municipalities, cities and states have done.
Read MoreCavuto vs Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee- Playing the human shield game
It’s not new. Democrats use human shields to push every piece of big government legislation they propose. It’s just unusual to find someone like a Neil Cavuto to call Democrats on it. Fantastic ands funny … it’s your Cavuto moment of the day.

Read MoreTexting, walking, deaths, Michelle Obama, fountains, the mall and YouTube
If that headline does not get your head spinning and your mouse finger clicking, I’m not sure what will. We seem to have a problem with the cell phone texting thing. Other than the fact it can cost some of us a quarter to send or receive just one of these 140 character pieces of…
Read MoreClassic: Who holds the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner in prison?
I’ll be completely up-front admitting I do not know much about Liu Xiaobo, the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner. He’s is a human rights activist who was arrested, convicted and tossed in a China prison a little more than one year ago for “inciting subversion of state power.”
Read MoreGun talk: Ten rounds in a magazine may not be enough – Firearm realities (Update)
Gun control advocates and even former Vice President Dick Cheney have suggested having 10 rounds available in a magazine for a semi-automatic pistol “seems” like enough to protect oneself, yet the argument is simply an extension of a random number that “seems” to make people feel better and has no relation to real-world situations.
Read MoreObama says look at excess regulation – How about calorie counts on menus?
Yesterday, President Obama had an OpEd piece – yes, he really did – in the Wall Street Journal calling for a review of regulations that place “an unreasonable burden” on business. Let’s see if he is serious. How about nixing the stupid part of the health care legislation – a.k.a. Obamacare – that demands restaurants with 20 or…
