WHY PUBLIC EDUCATION SHOULD BE STARVED: A branch of the University of Minnesota may require all education students at the school to understand and accept that they are either privileged or oppressed and that they be well-versed in issues like "white privilege," "institutional racism” and the "myth of meritocracy in the United States."
AL GORE TALKS about global warming:

[T]he sooner we switch away from carbon-based fuel and start relying on renewable energy sources available in the United States, the sooner we will grow our economy by creating the millions of new jobs that will come from retrofitting homes and businesses, building smart grids, renewable energy systems and planting trees and all the rest. We need to create a lot of jobs that can't be outsourced.
Well, I’ll give Al some credit - the jobs in italics can’t be outsourced. But money spent essentially repairing broken windows is money not spend growing the economy.
MAYBE FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS should oversee school lunch programs. I’m sure the kids would prefer McDonalds on Monday, KFC on Tuesday, etc.

Score another point for free enterprise; the government’s still at zero.

Instapundit says not to worry, though, the government will still do ”a bangup job on healthcare.”
GARLIC MILK: fighting global warming.
EVEN THE WASHINGTON POST recognizes single-payer healthcare when they see it.

My only surprise is that they are capable of admitting it.
THE ARROGANCE OF OBAMACARE:

It restricts our choice of which insurance to buy and pushes us into more expensive plans. At the same time, it destroys the economic incentive to purchase insurance in the first place and replaces insurance with a free-floating tax on one's very existence.

That's the kind of government arrogance that has to be smacked down hard, and that alone is reason to demand that your senator reject this vicious bill in its entirety.
Read it all.

Via Hot Air.
MIXED MESSAGES: First it was coffee, then it was beer. Now we find that coffee increases drunkeness.

Hmm. Maybe the correct message is that drunkenness decreases a man’s risk of prostate cancer ....
