How Much for S.J. River Restoration? Part 2
In September we published a newsletter called “How Much For S.J. River Restoration?” in which we quoted various sources and their differing prices for the cost of the restoration. The confusion continues. Today there is a story in several newspapers around the state about chinook salmon being released into the river,”a small but pivotal act in… Read more »
Time for a True Opportunity Agenda
Occupy Wall Street’s pathetic first birthday last week confirmed that the longstanding reports of the movement’s death have not, in fact, been exaggerated. So why are we keeping it alive by talking incessantly about income inequality instead of focusing on what really matters — opportunity and upward mobility? All this huffing and puffing about widening… Read more »
Occupy Wall Street tries to return after fading
On its one-year anniversary, Occupy Wall Street plans “occupations of corporate lobbies and intersections.” Handouts available on the group’s website list 40 “corporate targets” for action including such big names as Fidelity Investments, Federal Reserve Bank, and Standard & Poors. Protesters are encouraged to “wear business attire,” presumably so they can mix in with office… Read more »
The moral psychology of ‘You didn’t build that’
Long before Obama launched a thousand conservative attacks ads by telling a Virginia audience, “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that,” Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren raised thousands of liberal dollars with a very similar riff at an Andover, Mass., campaign event last year. “You built a factory out there? Good for… Read more »

America’s Two-Faced Liberals
Obama and Wall Street occupiers, along with their allies in the mainstream media and on college campuses, have maintained an ongoing attack on high-income earners, people they call 1 percenters. Listening to their deceitful demagoguery, you would naturally think of them as 99 percenters, but you’d be dead-wrong. Last week, MSN Money posted a report… Read more »
Dangers of academia’s ‘indoctrination mills’
For decades, conservatives have documented and criticized how liberal ideology runs rampant throughout higher education. Hence William F. Buckley’s famous quip from the 1960s: “I’d rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.” Fifty years later, few… Read more »
Homeless couple arrested for having sex on public stage
All the world’s a stage for two homeless lovers who were arrested for allegedly having sex in a band shell in the middle of the afternoon in Danbury, Connecticut. Jonathan Price, 41, and Shannon McClung, 38, even attracted an audience. When police arrived after receiving numerous complaints about the couple, they found several women had… Read more »
After lull, Occupy protest resurfaces in Oakland; hundreds arrested
For weeks the protests had waned, with only a smattering of people taking to Oakland’s streets for occasional weekend marches that bore little resemblance to the headline-grabbing Occupy demonstrations of last fall. Then came Saturday, which started peacefully enough — a midday rally at City Hall and a march. But hours later, the scene near… Read more »
Occupy Everything!
Who says Occupy Wall Street hasn’t accomplished something specific? You can put a number on it, or at least The Associated Press did. Talk about redistributing the wealth: According to the AP, the first two months of the nationwide Occupy Wall Street protests cost local taxpayers across the country at least $13 million in overtime… Read more »
