Maggie's Farm

John H. shows quantification of press bias: P'line. They do this to all Repubs, and they have done so for many years. And they always select one "good Repub", to seem fair. Once upon a time, it was Nelson Rockefeller. Now it's McCain. But if he runs - watch out. It's always the guy they want to run - and lose.

Blocking market forces in conservation of grazing lands. How can they block this? The Commons. There's a moral to this story.

Tom Brewton takes on the anti-war people, the 60s counterculture, the culture of hedonism and the juvenocracy:

"The counter-cultural effect was certainly a long-lasting, industrial-strength one.  Today, liberal/Progressives give lip service to “supporting our troops,” but their actions make clear that military personnel are for them objects of cynical disdain, while they have made entertainers and athletes the most glamorous and astronomically-highly-paid group in history.

Hedonism, not patriotism, is the McLuhan TV ‘massage’ for liberal-Progressives."  Read entire. It's an excellent thoughtful rant.
