Here is another wonderful reason to live in California, via an e-mail from a friend. This was approved back in Feb of 2000, but I guess it never got much publicity: Did you know that CA has a program where cops can set up a “Smog Check Point”. It looks like a sobriety check point, […]
An essay appeared on Glenn Reynolds’ blog “Instapundit” today, advocating not only the repeal of the mediocre “No Child Left Behind”, but going back to the Reagan idea of scrapping the entire Department Of Education.

From the Financial Times: Three senior US lawmakers are piecing together a sweeping bipartisan energy and climate bill, which looks set to include sweeteners to galvanise support among Republicans and […]
I was writing another post concerning the current health care reform bill, but got distracted by the news of the leaked preliminary CBO analysis, and figured I might as well combine the two posts and deem it one. The CBO projects this legislation will save the federal government $130 over the first decade, and $1.2 […]
