California Highway Patrol in Redwood ... MOREDOJ Seeks To Protect Bernanke From Testitmony

by Baylen Linnekin. Since I wrote a
column focusing on the increasing ubiquity and success of
private food labeling in June, a series of important federal food

John Stossel: Strangling Life
There are now 175,000 pages' worth of federal laws. Local governments add more. I'm not so cynical that I think politicians pass laws just to control us. Someone always thinks: "This law is needed. This will protect people." But the cumulative effect of so many rules is to strangle life. Yet lawyers like George Washington Law professor John ... MORE

MOREJohn Stossel: Frack To The Future
The political power of silly people. Celebrities are now upset about fracking, the injection of chemicals into the ground to crack rocks to release oil and gas. With everyone saying they want alternatives to foreign oil, I'd think celebrities would love fracking. I'd be wrong. Lady Gaga, Yoko Ono and their group, Artists Against Fracking, don't ...

Should strive toward equality, not social acceptance. Gays can be leaders. Women can be leaders. Without realizing it, I

leaders. As I wrote here,
gays and women are already equal ... MOREHow Litigation Threatens Professional Football

future appears limitless. But football has a problem: the specter of mass brain ... MORENY Post: Reading, 'Riting And Race
