We do live in Interesting Times. Iran will be sending warships to the US coast. Iran’s navy will send ships into the Atlantic Ocean, state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported Tuesday. The vessels will sail out of the Persian Gulf and toward the U.S. East Coast as retaliation for American ships in the Persian Gulf.…

Glenn Reynolds linked a very thoughtful post by Pat Nolan at NRO about the Gibson Guitar raid, and I am in 100% agreement on the central point about federal overcriminalization. America has become overcriminalized. The Gibson raids highlight how America’s criminal-justice system has become a Rube Goldberg contraption of laws and sentencing policies that have…

Them crazies at Zero Hedge are at it again. The head of UniCredit global securities Attila Szalay-Berzeviczy had this to say: “the euro is “practically dead” and Europe faces a financial earthquake from a Greek default”… “The euro is beyond rescue”… “The only remaining question is how many days the hopeless rearguard action of European…

Yesterday, North Carolina’s Democrat Governor, one Bev Perdue, made the following joke (at least, she says it was a joke): “You have to have more ability from Congress, I think, to work together and to get over the partisan bickering and focus on fixing things. I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress…

Hilarious. H/T Patriot Action Network Cross Posted at Power and Control

As you may or may not know Black support for the pResident is falling off a cliff. If the Head Man doesn’t do something about it soon he is a goner in 2012. So imagine my surprise when a local Black who writes an editorial column for the Rockford Register Star, Ed Wells, has come…

Zero Hedge tells an interesting tale. The latest quarterly report from the Office Of the Currency Comptroller is out and as usual it presents in a crisp, clear and very much glaring format the fact that the top 4 banks in the US now account for a massively disproportionate amount of the derivative risk in…

Now there is a novel concept. Practically unknown in America these days. The subject came up because of a comment TMI made to Eric’s post the feather yankee doodle stuck in his cap is now a federal felony!. Let me quote the bit by TMI that is pertinent: Gary Becker’s seminal work in crime and…

A front page article in today’s Wall Street Journal caused economist David Henderson to ask a disturbing question. “Is the United States a Police State?“ Such a question must be especially disturbing for an economist to feel compelled to ask. Here’s what Henderson says: I’m organizing a session on this at the Association for Private…

This is the Industry Week take on the Solyndra solar cell company’s crash and burn. What a complete — and unnecessary — disgrace the Obama administration’s performance in the Solyndra affair has been. Admittedly, not all the facts are out about the administration’s decision to award a $535 million dollar federal loan guarantee to the…

Patriot Action Network is going on about the Government plan (implemented) to deliver guns to the Mexican Drug Cartels. One commenter said: The real purpose of “Fast and furious” program was to shut down the Texas gun shops. To which I responded. The real purpose of the Drug War is to attack the 2nd Amendment.…

I’ve been biting off more than I could chew today, so I haven’t had time for a single post until just now, when I find myself all worn out with nothing to say. However, the other day I posted a YourTube video about biting off more than you can chew: Nearly half of the country…

Fred On Everything (FOE) has a most amusing post up and you should read the whole thing. The post is about the drug WAR generally and how to win it. He has lots of suggestions. I liked this one particularly. First the set up: I see that I may have to take over drug policy…

Floridians are not alone in thinking that Herman Cain won the debate. Erick Erickson also thinks so, and so does Ed Morrissey, who says that by citing his own battle with colon and liver cancer, Cain delivered the most devastating (and best) argument against ObamaCare and government encroachment in health care. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TnP1xnx6d8&feature=player_embedded Who wouldn’t expect an…

Eric left a link to this article on Facebook so I thought I’d give it a shot. The article is Left Behind: How Democrats Are Losing the Political Center. Most of you know the bad news about the Democrats so I’m not going to dwell on it (read the article if you want details). What…

First a little background on the source, Stars and Stripes newspaper. Stars and Stripes is a news source that operates from inside the United States Department of Defense but is editorially separate from it. The First Amendment protection which Stars and Stripes enjoys is safeguarded by Congress to whom an independent ombudsman, who serves the…

“They’re telling you how to live and what to do, and they’re doing it right here in America.” So complains a smoker who has been told she can no longer smoke in her own home, in a piece titled “Should Smoking at Home Be Illegal?” I wrote a post on this not-especially-new subject the other…

I hate it when I like what someone I don’t like says something I like, but Newt Gingrich did so today: Republican presidential candidate New Gingrich said Friday that “it’s silly” to characterize the GOP race as a two-person affair, arguing that the contest remains “still a very, very wide open race.” “There have been no votes taken…
