What right does the government have to tell me that I can’t poison children?
The House just passed a bill that will ban lead in toys by a vote of 424 to 1. The one who voted against the ban was, of course, Crazy Ron Paul.
Paul isn’t alone, though. 13 Republicans voted against the Senate version […]
Obama’s speech in Berlin drew raves from the people of Europe. You can read the transcript here, or watch it for yourself:
Josh Marshall gives some analysis, but I think the messages of change, unity, and multilateralism speak for themselves.
Of course, not everyone was impressed. While Obama was building bridges across the Atlantic, McCain visited a […]
Not long ago, I linked a story about bacteria evolving in laboratory conditions over the course of tens of thousands of generations. There’s no reasonable conclusion to draw from this result, other than, “The scientists were right all along! Species really do evolve!”

Clearly, Lenski’s bacteria […]
The American Family Association hates gays, so much so that they believe the word “gay” is a fiendish liberal media trick, meant to fool Americans into tolerating, or even (gasp!) accepting gays.

You might think it strange for a couple of married guys who were caught soliciting sex to be showing so much concern for the institution of marriage. If they developed a […]

John McSame’s mouth gets him in trouble again
John McCain doesn’t seem very proud of the country he wants to lead:
Republican presidential candidate John McCain admitted on Saturday it can be difficult at times to be proud of the United States.
“I’ll admit to you … that it’s tough in some respects,” McCain said when asked by […]
You may have heard already heard McCain’s condescending dismissal of Obama’s strategy of engagement with Iran:
“The idea that (the Iranians) now seek nuclear weapons because we refuse to engage in presidential-level talks is a serious misreading of history,” McCain said, citing unsuccessful efforts by President Bill Clinton’s administration to engage with Iran.
“Even so, we hear […]
