Brock Yates sees that one big impediment to fuel cells is a rare element.
Of course the notion of brewing up together a few atoms of Hydrogen and Oxygen to produce electricity and a by-product of clean water vapor sounds terrific. But again, we’re talking money. Big money. At the core of the fuel-cell is a […]
John Burkett is a petty man. He doesn’t realize that the All-Star Game isn’t about baseball owners or players. It’s tribute to the fans that pay for ballparks and salaries.
“Burkett reiterates stance that he’ll skip All-Star Game”

Amazon.com has gone into the resturant menu business. They have scaned copied of menus from major American cities. Unfortunately for me, Milwaukee isn’t on the list.
This is a strange business strategy. The whole premise of Amazon.com is that it’s an online store. I go to the site to buy books, music, […]
All I got to see were the highlights on SportsCenter on the U.S. Open. That’s all I needed to see to understand the greatness of Tiger Woods. He’s won eight majors by his 26th birthday. Will he go on to win golf’s first grand slam–not just 4 consecutive majors? I can’t […]
AlGore may be a green, egghead, liberal weenie, but he’s not a terrorist threat. A constitutional threat, but not a terrorist threat. But that didn’t matter to security people who gave AlGore the special treatment twice. The biggest threat from AlGore on an airplane is boring passengers to death by yapping about […]
Ronald Pestritto uses Flag Day to wonder if both liberals and conservatives want to fight for America’s founding principles.
Liberals have for decades advocated ? and largely consummated ? a rejection of the limited government of the founding in favor of a modern welfare state. Starting about 100 years ago, Progressives like Woodrow Wilson decided that […]
Today is Flag Day. Don’t be bashful. Wave that flag with pride.
I’m happy to know that this tradition started in my fine state of Wisconsin.

Hooray, there’s something worth reading on Salon.com.
Stan Liebowitz, Microsoft defender, looked into file sharing. Intuitively, he thought the music companies should be hurting from lost sales. The numbers haven’t panned out, so the University of Texas at Dallas economist is re-thinking his assumptions.
I try to let data tell me what’s actually happening in […]
Which has a better chance of becoming law in Cuba: the Varela Project which supports a referendum calling for civil liberties or Castro’s constitutional amendment calling Communism “untouchable”?

I re-read the story on White House damage for my own clarification. It doesn’t specify which keyboards needed to be replaced. Thanks to those of you who pointed out security concerns and added expenses to these keyboards. If they were from computers used for secretive government work, then a more expensive and […]
Welcome to new readers who discovered this little weblog via OpinionJournal’s Best of the Web. Kudos go out to James Taranto for the link. Now, if I can get Citizens Against Government Waste to issue that press release.

I still have no answer to what good a byline strike is. Louis Menand notes that Washington Post reporters have tried this before with no success. What a byline does–besides stoke one’s ego–is “They tell you that a person–not a committee or an institution–produced the words you are about to read, and is […]
Paul Krugman accepts the Clintonian spin that they really cared about the country. Or as he puts it, “the Clintonites really, truly believed they were doing the right thing.” That was why Clinton supported NAFTA and the Mexican bailout. Krugman doesn’t mention the item that will forever be associated with Bill […]
Both the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Washington Post want “dirtybomber” Jose Padilla to have access to a lawyer and put on trial in a civilian court. Let’s suppose these editorial boards had their way and Padilla got his trial. Then suppose Padilla was found not guilty and released. Then suppose […]
Paul Wolfowitz had some fine remarks at the ceremony celebrating the rebuilt portion of the Pentagon destroyed on 9.11:
Wisdom, strength, endurance, freedom, those are qualities that do define America, qualities we see across America every day, qualities we see in you, the workers in hard hats and boots, armed with hammers and saws. With your […]
