I Don’t Have to Outrun the Bear. Just You.
While Democrats and Republicans battle it out, most Americans have lost no love for either party and may be lining up behind…neither. Main Street America has entered an era of populism that embraces neither party. People are tired of government bailouts, spending and unchecked corruption, ...

The Value of Value-Added Data
The AGW theory is based on science, right? And settled science, right? The Times of London has learned something about the data at the East Anglia Climatic Research Unit (CRU): SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on ...

From a Slouch to a Dash
A year ago when Pelosi and Bush decided to go forward bailing out the auto industry, David Brooks wondered if we are sliding into progressive corporatism. I went further with this in March . Now comes Jerry O'Driscoll . First, the Fed announced that it will evaluate bankers’ pay on the ...

Vikings Stadium Back on the Discussion Table
I was listening to Chris Baker on KTLK 100.3FM this morning. I enjoy Chris, a solid conservative, who is edgy clever and does a good job at pulling new people in by fighting the stale image of the country club Republican. This in part is why I listen to him in the mornings, that and he covers ...

Now, This Would Spike The Ball
I think it’s unlikely, but far from impossible, that the GOP will take the US House back in 2010; beyond the historical tradition of the president losing seats at midterm, I think that there’s a lot of generalized dissatisfaction with the Administration out there.  It’s easy and tempting ...

The University of Minnesota Redesigns Teachers
Everybody is familiar with the vulgar Marxism in which race is substituted for class. In one form or another, it is ubiquitous in the academy, though its racism pervades every form. It has given rise to stultifying orthodoxies in doctrine, governance and curriculum. The University of ...

Another classic moment in government interventions
Two years ago, the newly-Democratic Congress struck a blow for a greener planet by demanding a level of ethanol production based on current estimates of gasoline use.  This delighted corn farmers and ethanol manufacturers, and most everyone else assumed that little harm could be done by ...

Tarryl vs. Dr. Reed = Tarryl TKO
After reading this post , I'm certain that Maureen Reed isn't a serious challenger. Listen to this worn-out spin: "Bachmann claims her rally is to remind Congress of the town hall meetings over the summer, but those meetings were orchestrated by insurance companies opposed to meaningful ...

Eden Prairie 9th Graders Hazed to Teach History

Is Tarryl Comfortable As the Left's Candidate?
Eric Black's post about the Tarryl Clark-Maureen Reed contest is potentially damaging to Tarryl of a couple of reasons. First, according to Eric's reporting, it sounds like Dr. Reed is prepared to take Tarryl on in a primary: I told Isaacson that that sounded pretty close to declaring ...

When Will Holdren Resign?
Based on this reporting by CFP's Tim Ball , "Obama Science Czar John Holdren is directly involved in CRU's unfolding Climategate scandal." If that's substantiated, no spin will prevent Holdren from falling on his sword. Here's what CFP is reporting: "There is a multitude of small but ...
