- Unknown Number of Child Molestors Working for TSA
Another child rapist was found working for the TSA. As I've said before, the TSA had better get much more selective about their hiring process, because a job that allows you to look at nude photos of and touch the genitals of small children without their consent would be a dream job for a pedophile. - TSA at Trains and Subways Next?
The tentacles of the TSA are stretching ever further and curling ever tighter. Big Sis wants to make nude scans or genital gropes mandatory for anyone using the mass transit system, because--according to statist logic--any place that lacks the new security screening will just become the new target for terrorists. The logical conclusion of this reasoning would be for the TSA to install nude scanners over the doors of our house, to inspect us for weapons every time we leave our home. - Ron Paul Will Not Join Tea Party Caucus
Congressman Ron Paul, whose supporters were holding Tea Party protests months before Rick Santelli ever ranted, has decided he will not be joining the Congressional Tea Party Caucus. Not because he doesn't support the goals of the Tea Party, but because he doesn't want the government to co-opt a healthy, anti-government movement. While I think the Tea Party congressmen have good intentions, I share some of the same trepidation as Rep. Paul. I had the same sour feeling when I heard the government of Virginia might produce Tea Party license plates. The moment the Tea Party becomes accepted by the political establishment is the moment when we know the establishment no longer fears it. - GOP '12 Darkhorse Still Nameless
This Washington Post article attempts to put a name to that candidate that will come from nowhere to become a household name. Perplexingly, it features a photo of Tim Pawlenty, and recites already thoroughly discussed names such as Santorum, Pence, Brown, and Rubio. I think they miss the point of what a darkhorse candidate is. A real darkhorse candidate would be someone nobody is talking about, and very few have heard of right now. For instance, fmr. OK Gov. Frank Keating, PR Gov. Luis Fortuño, ID Sen. Jim Risch, or NE Sen. Mike Johanns. - Senate Awards $1.15b to Black Farmers
While I'll be the first to say that the government doesn't have the right to discriminate against anyone for anything on the basis of skin color, I don't see how the Senate's approval of $1.15 billion for black farmers sets the world right again. Government handouts to farmers should have never been given out in the first place, whether the farmers were "white," "black," or otherwise. Merely giving out more farm welfare does not solve the problem. A real solution would be to abolish all handouts to farmers, period. - Gore Regrets Ethanol
Al Gore shows a rare spark of candor in admitting what everybody else has slowly figured out: corn ethanol was a horrible idea. The Corn God was nothing more than a worthless idol for presidential candidates to kiss. We should have known from the beginning, however, that this was the case. If there is truly a more efficient manner of harvesting and using energy, the market will have every incentive to utilize it. Any product that needs government subsidies to get off the ground necessarily represents a diversion of resources from more worthwhile projects to less worthwhile projects.
