“As this case makes clear, fair and impartial law enforcement cannot exist as long as government can take a person’s property without convicting them of a crime”

Is this America? Really? Really!!??? We the people and all that jazz? Do “We the People” really want this building to be seized? Glenn Reynolds chimes in… Tar. Feathers. And obviously, you don’t want to locate a business in Tewksbury, … Continue reading

Jeff Jacoby reviews Social Security funding. But the trust fund’s assets are an illusion. Social Security doesn’t own $2.6 trillion in gold bars or real estate or shares of Google. All it has are Treasury IOUs. Those IOUs represent $2.6 … Continue reading

Boulder wants government handout to provide free Wi-Fi on RTD busses

Gag me. If it’s such a great idea, you don’t need a $250,000 “grant”. What an entitlement mentality. Just feed at the teat of taxpayer money. The worst part is the citizens of Boulder pay an employee to figure out … Continue reading

NRC and executive thuggary

Boulderites, I’m sure you’re against the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste depository site. Is this the way you want to achieve your goals? Do the ends justify the means? Unfortunately, I already know the answer.
