The Clintons, part II

I wrote here a few days ago about the Clintons pardoning terrorists for their own political gain. The WSJ today ran this piece that offers more details. These people are reprehensible.

Taxes and moving

Yet another reason high taxes may result in less revenue for the state. Notable from the opinion:

Our friends on the left say Americans are willing to pay more taxes to get better government services, but their migration patterns reveal the opposite. Governors would be wise to heed these interstate migration trends as they try to cope with what may be one of the worst years in recent memory for state finances. The people who tend to be the most mobile in American society are the educated and motivated — in other words, the taxpaying class. Tax them too much, and you’ll soon find they aren’t there to tax at all.

Good question

A simple question can go a long way.

Bush and McCain

GW Bush said in an interview this weekend that he believes McCain is a conservative. Is that supposed to make conservatives feel better about McCain? Bush labeling someone a conservative means little. Bush himself is as fiscally liberal as most of your modern, mainstream Democrats. Take a quick look at his record here.

Bad dog

The environmental impact of dogs. Imagine spending all the money and resources (i.e. time, land, energy, etc.) we devote to pets instead to environmental causes, or maybe eradicating world hunger or disease. Every thing is a trade off.

Ethanol and global warming

This story says ethanol isn’t as clean a fuel as some once believed.
