Washington politicians and free-spending liberals may hate the thought, but I love the fact that less money is coming into the federal government. Reduced tax revenue combined with much needed defense spending may force the government to act more inline with its own constitution.

They say laughter is the best medicine. Well, The Onion is doing it’s part with stories like “Hijackers Surprised to Find Selves in Hell.” Then there is “American Life Turns into Bad Jerry Bruckheimer Movie.” Just reading it straight gives a great sense of the power pop culture has on American lives.

Yesterday, one George got fired, while another one should have. The 9.11 attacks were the greatest intelligence failure in U.S. history. But President Bush still has “a lot of confidence” in CIA Director George Tennet. Bush may have faith in Tennet, but I don’t. He should have been fired as soon as [...]
It’s embarassing for Reagan National Airport to still be closed with no idea when it will reopen. If there’s a danger, at the very least, officials should say so. There are thousands of people in limbo who depend on that airport. Such uncertainty isn’t doing them any good.

A war on global terrorism is impractical. There are so many groups out there and only one or a handful took part on the 9.11 attacks. An open-ended quest to rid the world of terrorism would be a bigger failure than the War on Drugs. Terrorists would still exist and would attempt [...]
This was Rachael Anne Fajardo’s first thought after glimpsing the first pictures of the attacks on 9.11:
Now everyone will have to realize how evil our government is, and this will be a great leap for liberty.
This just goes to prove that wacko thinking is still wacko thinking even if it comes from the anarcho-right. [...]
UPDATE:
Phil Zimmerman was upset over the loss of life from the attacks on 9.11, not because he developed technology that could have helped the terrorists keep their plans hidden. Zimmerman writes on Slashdot, “Read my lips: I have no regrets about developing PGP.”
Zimmerman shouldn’t be looked at as a villian in anyway. What [...]

If NASA can build a satellite that can catch a comet millions of miles away, we can certainly build a missile defense shield. Unproven technology: I don’t think so after the journey of Deep Space 1.

The fight over school vouchers will come to a head next year. The Supreme Court will hear arguments over the constitutionality of Cleveland’s voucher program.
Voucher opponents should actually hope the Supreme Court allows vouchers. If vouchers are thrown out, parents will still search for ways to get their kids out of failing [...]
Bill Clinton wasn’t as close to taking out bin Laden as he now thinks. The man in charge of the opperation, Gen. Anthony Zinni didn’t even think they would kill him.

George Reisman demonstrates that free-market advocates can offer sensible solutions to these trying times. Instead of taking a knee-jerk neo-isolationist approach to dealing with world terrorism, Reisman aims for the source of Islamic terrorist funding: OPEC oil. A free market in energy production would reduce dependence on OPEC oil. That would [...]
