ANOTHER FINE EXAMPLE of liberal projection. Notice that there's not a single factual statement about 'climate change' in the article; it's all about opinion (we're right) and motive (you're evil).
ROBERT ZUBRIN: Putin Adviser Publishes Plan for Domination of Europe. For what it's worth, Stage 1 seems to be right on shedule....
PUT DOWN THOSE CHEETOS unless they've beein picked from an organically grown environmentally sustainable cheeto bush planted along your bicycle path.
REPUBLICAN TAX PROPOSAL: Flawed, but a step toward a substantial debate. It's a first step, but I still prefer a flat -- or fair (consumption) -- tax.
ERIC HOLDER: State Attorneys General not obligated to defend laws they disagree with (as long as it’s ones banning gay marriage).
A long time ago, in a galaxy (obviously) far away, the Attorney General was obliged to defend a state's laws in court whether or not he personally agreed with it. An honorable (a word which has no meaning now) Attorney General would resign rather than refuse to defend a law he disagreed with.

CAN THE FDA AND (THANKFULLY, EX) MAYOR BLOOMBERG BE FAR BEHIND? Saudi cleric issues fatwa banning all-you-can-eat buffets.
WHITE HOUSE EMAIL suggests that most Americans still make the minimum wage. Which is easily proven to be utter baloney, but this is what sticks in my craw:
Poverty stinks; we all know that. But it's time for an honest discussion, not a war by anecdote.
Raising the federal minimum wage will give millions of Americans a raise, and it’s long overdue — because no one who works full-time should have to live in poverty.Well, let's see. The current federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour or $15,080 /year. According to the federal government's own poverty guidelines, a single minimum wage earner would not be impoverished; and a two-(minimum)-wage earner family with less than 4 children would not be impoverished. Now go to this post to see that when welfare benefits are added to wages, that two-(minimum)-wage earner family has total income and benefits closing in on $50,000.

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE: Hey, let's muzzle political speech.
Not as long as 501(c)(5) organizations (labor unions) continue to get a free pass under the tax code. Treat them exactly the same as 501(c)(4) organizations; then perhaps we can talk.
UPDATE: Here's why.
