http://spectator.org/archives/2011/03/17/barbour-out-on-the-hustings

Ann Coulter points out that there is a lot of conflicting information about radiation studies.

NPR Denials

http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/2011/03/16/bozell-nprs-ridiculous-denials/

Let George Soros and his cronies support NPR instead of the taxpayers.

Obama in the Twilight Zone

http://www.gopusa.com/theloft/2011/03/14/delving-into-obamas-bizarre-priorities/

I am in favor of criticizing Obama on the issues, but criticizing him because he plays golf or brews his own beer is counterproductive.

Focus on the issues, of which there are a great many.

Lieberman vs. Nuclear Power

http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/lieberman-oba-a-nuclear/2011/03/13/id/389291

He is for it and he is against it.

There is no form of energy for which there is not some opposition.

Building critical structures in high-risk earthquake zones is always going to be problematic.

Crowley Resigns

http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/crowley-resigns-state-department/2011/03/13/id/389299?s=al&promo_code=BDA9-1

Good riddance.

A Government That Robs Peter

"A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul."

One of the all-time great quotes.

This why government unions support Democrats.

Aggregation and Aggravation

A disturbing incident.

It is Not Over in Wisconsin

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/11/opinion/11fri2.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha211

More bias and distortion from the left, but they are right that it is not over.

We need more layoffs, more furloughs, and higher pension contributions from government unions.

Special Privileges

http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/Unions-CivilRights/2011/03/11/id/389095

Government unions now call civil rights what are really special privileges granted by Democrats in return for kickbacks in the form of campaign contributions.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/10/us/10wisconsin.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha2

More distortions and bias from the left.

How dare anyone limit special privileges that were given in exchange for kickbacks to Democrats in the form of campaign contributions?

FDR made an eloquent case for why granting such special privileges was a very bad idea, and he was proven correct.

Public-sector Bargaining

http://www.jsonline.com/news/opinion/117438058.html

An eloquent statement of some of the problem with government unions.

It is shocking that 25% think that we have unlimited wealth to feed to public unions.
