  • I don’t know the background to the story of fed employees<\/a> getting pay rises while everyone else is told to tighten their belts. I’m assuming this isn’t as simple as people would like to believe.<\/li>\n
  • I have to agree with Reason. It does seem like Obama talks out of both sides<\/a> of his mouth sometimes. That doesn’t make him bad; that just makes him a normal politician.<\/li>\n
  • Apparently, Monster Cable, when they aren’t harassing people who claim their product is overpriced, are busy suing the crap<\/a> out of any other business that calls itself Monster. I don’t know that a loser pays legal system would prevent this; but it couldn’t hurt. The thing is that I can think of few people who, hearing the word “Monster”, automatically envision the electronics firm.<\/li>\n
  • I have to agree with Hot Air<\/a>. Why is it so amazing that Obama extended the olive branch to the muslim world? Bush did that for years<\/i>. Why do people react so obsequiously when Obama says things they vilified Bush for?<\/li>\n
  • I stopped trusting Consumer Reports back in the 90’s when they endorsed a single payer healthcare system. That and that every product they recommended turned out to be a steaming piece of crap. Their report<\/a> on the anti-CPSIA rally today is typical of lazy shilling they’ve been doing lately (read the comments for a response — I can’t top them). Memo to CR: big business loves<\/i> CPSIA. It’s driving the competition out of business.<\/li>\n
  • Nice, The Obama Administration already has a report indicating that their green car plan for Detroit won’t work<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  • Our ridiculous legal system doesn’t just hamstring doctors and cripple legitimate businesses. It lets genuine bad actors get away with murder. Exxon is still fighting<\/a> the lawsuit over their oil spill of twenty years ago. Why not? It’s reduced their burden from $5 to $2 billion.<\/li>\n
  • More from Greenpeace: they tried to pretend there was a meltdown<\/a> at a nuclear plant.<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
