Labor Day RINO skwaaaawking!
BREAKING NEWS RINO COUP ALERT! IMPORTANT UPDATES BELOW! *skwaaaawk* That's the sound of this week's RINO Sightings carnival, held at Right Thoughts whose "Base 17" does a great job of dispatching great posts like these: terrorism does work, and, if animal rights terrorists aren't put in the same category as al Qaeda or any other type of terrorists for purposes of law enforcement at both the federal, state, and local level, I fear that they may succeed in impeding biomedical research to the point where the U.S. becomes like Britain, with researchers whose work involves animal experimentation moving to countries they can do their research without worrying about Molotov cocktails being thrown at their houses.Countries like China, where animal research is being outsourced. Is it really easier to believe that high gas prices occur because of a massive conspiracy between thousands of oil industry executives spread out through hundreds (if not thousands) of competing oil companies and hundreds of politicians from both sides of the aisle than to believe that high gas prices occur because of ordinary market forces?The answer is yes. It's always easier to believe in villainous forces than in market forces, because it's more emotionally satisfying. I guess it also helps if you believe market forces are villainous forces. Read em all. I'm glad to see that Labor Day or no, the RINOs have not gone on vacation! UPDATE (09/05/06): I was out all night and I am just getting caught up, but I see that there has been some sort of a coup in RINOland (whether it was bloody or not I don't know; reports are mixed at this time). Digger claims to be in charge, and the Commissar is said to be alive. Will the Digger regime be able to obtain legitimacy and United Nations recognition? Stay tuned. MORE: The Commissar has been heard from! I'm not sure exactly what is going on, but he has issued a cryptic statement: Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated... then again maybe they haven’t.This raises more questions than it answers. Is he under house arrest? Was the statement made voluntarily and under his own free will or was it written for him? At this point I don't think anyone is in a position to have all the facts. Perhaps some neutral team of international observers should be sent in to monitor the situation. posted by Eric on 09.04.06 at 10:26 AM |

I am as economically libertarian as any man imaginable, short of an anarchist. However, I think that moving to a Canada-style system would cost less and be about as effective as our current mess of public-private "cooperation" we call a health care system.
Although, even admitting that hurts my heart.
