John Stossel exposes The Many Myths of Ethanol:
When everyone in politics jumps on a bandwagon like ethanol, I start to wonder if there’s something wrong with it. And there is.

Any time you can get Ted Kennedy and John McCain to agree on something, you know we’re in for a real hard ride.
Here’s a reasonably good article: No Amnesty for McCain

A Culture of Passivity (Mark Steyn)
“…I’d prefer to say that the default position is a terrible enervating passivity. Murderous misfit loners are mercifully rare. But this awful corrosive passivity is far more pervasive, and, unlike the psycho killer, is an existential threat to a functioning society.”
