The Department of Agriculture is going after this guy. Hid crime? He makes tea in his house and sells it. The real problem is that it’s a water-sugar-yeast-tea combo, and since it is not made in a commercial kitchen, it’s “outside of regulatory oversight.” His drinks are very popular with cutomers, but they don’t have [...]

I blogged about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s veto of the menu Nazis in California. A judge in NYC struck down a similar coup last month, however, the New York, anti-private property bureaucrats and special interest boobs are not giving up. In another great moment of stupidity, we have this:
The idea, Frieden said, is to make people think [...]

The menu labeling bill could have helped Californians avoid obesity, heart disease, and many other deadly diet-related diseases…

Mitt Romney. His favorite book is Battlefield Earth. Or so he said the first time he was asked. The lunatic L. Ron Hubbard wrote that useless piece of garbage. Check out Tucker Carlson’s piece on the book. (Top video in the sequence.) Carlson reads the 1st two paragraphs of the book, and he howls with [...]

Even more reasons to buy a Palm Treo as opposed to the Apple iPhone.
