Wait, what?
Well, that’s a new one, comparing Bachmann to a porn star.
Of course, in reality, someone forgot to fix that portion of the story, and failed to replace the xxx with the actual numbers
According to the new IowaRepublican.com poll, Bachmann has built a four point lead over Romney, 25-21. Former Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Herman [...]

Except, Doyle argues that they aren’t really “banned”- they’re better
OPINION: BULB Act is dim-witted
Great way to start, Mike: insult people who don’t agree with you.
In 1879, Thomas Edison invented a way to create light by heating up a thin strip of material (called a filament) until it was hot enough to glow. [...]

I’m not quite sure which is more delusional and clueless: Team Obama or the NY Times (anonymous) editorial board: The Worst Time To Slow The Economy
It was not surprising to hear the Republican presidential candidates repeat their tiresome claim that excessive government spending and borrowing were behind Friday’s terrible unemployment report. It was [...]

It’s kinda funny, since Democrats see no religious issues involved with abortion on demand, but, reducing government spending? WWJD?
In what seemed more like a Sunday church service than a Capitol Hill press conference, Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., called out for his fellow lawmakers and all Americans to do “the Lord’s work” as a solution to [...]
Obama’s Solution To Joblessness: High Speed Rail
Posted on July 9, 2011 - Filed Under Barack Obama, Economy, News | Comments Off
That, and other small ball measures, as the LA Times points out. Just the kinds of ideas one would expect from a (not my) president with virtually no experience in the private sector
As White House aides search for ways to show progress on the economy, they are banking that a set of small-scale proposals may [...]

Posted on July 9, 2011 - Filed Under News | Comments Off
Steven Horwitz below points out that classical liberals — precursors of libertarians — did believe in equality. Conservatives, by contrast see equality as an unrealizable dream. Conservatives can see that there are a whole host of ways in which people differ and that those differences will result in many forms of [...]

Australia:
It started out as a bit of fun to raise money for the Animal Welfare League on the Gold Coast but it’s turned into a fur-raising cat fight.
The Australian Christian Lobby has condemned a risque flyer for wax treatments showing a woman in sexy lingerie with a cat sitting between her open legs, and the [...]

Abortion ‘increases risk of premature birth’

The study below is unusual in that it DID control for social class. It also replicates many previous findings. As abortion fills me with horror, I am certainly inclined to accept its conclusions. Scientific honesty impels me to note the weaknesses of the study, however.

Well, maybe John Sexton and I both gave Obama a little too much credit on this “intercontinental railroad” gaffe? When he and I wrote about this little gaffe we both assumed that it was no big deal, that it was just a slip of the tongue — and an easy one to [...]

The Old Media is still acting shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that the Obama administration treats them like a redheaded stepchild. Newsweek’s The Daily Beast, for instance, is incredulous at the “reprehensible” actions of the Obama White House for having the temerity to call NBC to scold the cabler over Mark Halperin’s [...]
