When the minimum wage goes up, low-wage jobs are lost. This isn’t a prediction, it’s an observation. The Wall St. Journal notes it’s happening again<\/a>, at the worst time for it, and mostly for minorities.<\/p>\n

Syria pulled out of the running for a seat on the UN Human Rights Council.<\/a> The problem is that they pulled out rather than being pushed. Given the number of human rights violators on that council, they could have easily been approved.<\/p>\n

"I am a scientist who was on the carbon gravy train, understands the evidence, was once an alarmist, but am now a skeptic." Read why here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The headline says it all<\/a>: "WikiLeaks Threatens Its Own Leakers With $20 Million Penalty If They Leak Elsewhere". Transparency for thee but not for me.<\/p>\n

Green energy losing green<\/a>: A solar farm in Texas is losing money because the property taxes are so high.<\/p>\n

High-speed rail losing speed<\/a>: "California’s much-vaunted high-speed rail project is, to put it bluntly, a train wreck." Of course, the solution, according to the LA Times, is do it over, throwing good money after bad ($43 billion of bad money).<\/p>\n

What a shock!<\/a> "Autotrader survey shows most motorists go green to ‘save money, not the environment’." Make green energy affordable, and the world will beat a path to your door.<\/p>\n

The issue with Obama is not Fox News; it’s anyone who disagrees with him. But if you didn’t know about this, it’s not your fault. The rest of the media, who you’d think would be all over this treatment of colleagues, were virtually silent on the matter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The anti-war crowd has seemingly melted away into the woodwork with the election of President Obama. I mean, if George W. Bush had violated federal law by invading a country without, within 60 days, getting congressional approval, how loud would the outcry have been, from the Left and the Media? Instead, a collective yawn<\/a>.<\/p>\n
