California Politicians Now Take Aim At Hot Food
New anti-job measure would ban foam containers. Restaurant owner Gary Honeycutt says a push in California's state Legislature to ban the plastic foam containers he uses to serve up takeout meals could cost him thousands of dollars in an industry where profit margins already are razor thin. BJ's Kountry Kitchen, in the heart of California's farm country ... MOREKim Murphy: $75 Billion A Year On Homeland Security
Has all the homeland security spending paid off? On the edge of the Nebraska sand hills is Lake McConaughy, a 22-mile-long reservoir that in summer becomes a magnet for Winnebagos, fishermen and kite sailors. But officials here in Keith County, population 8,370, imagined this scene: an Al Qaeda sleeper cell hitching explosives onto a ski boat and plowing into the dam at the head ... MOREAnthony Gregory: More Liberty Up In Smoke
Tobacco and the limits to utilitarianism. Tobacco companies are suing the U.S. government over a policy forcing them to put ghastly images on their product to dissuade consumers from smoking.

To the credit of such ... MOREAlan M Aszkler: Fracking Fluid Fear-Mongering Farce
Chicken Little's latest eco-sham. EPA bureaucrats and Green Avengers perpetrate a daily nonsensical assault touting the grave consequences of fracking fluid and its secret ingredients. Carnival barkers in the media blindly parrot fear-mongering articles from such noble sounding groups as "Natural Resources Defense Council" without offering a single shred of scientific ...

Using economics to explode fallacies. We grow up learning that some things are just bad: child labor, ticket scalping, price gouging, kidney selling, blackmail, etc. But maybe they're not. What I love about economics is that it can show that what seems harmful is actually good for society. It illuminates what common sense overlooks. This was the subject of my Fox ... MORE
