Monday Linkorama

  • Why is that whenever Obama attacks his opponent, he gives me reasons to vote for McCain? If McCain really wanted to addressed Social Security by raising the retirement age, slowing the growth and partially privatizing, I’d be supportive.
  • Why can’t we get clean diesel cars? Taxes.
  • Would you believe it? Three-quarters of last month’s unemployment increase was a result of government programs encouraging people to claim unemployment.
  • McCain’s idea of having cabinet members work for $1 a year is really stupid (and almost certainly illegal). I’d much rather be ruled by someone out for a buck than someone driving by a burning desire to “help” me.
  • The dirty word at this year’s conventions? Liberty. I’m not persuaded that McCain is the best pick for a libertarian. He’s a big believer in national service.
