Horrendously-misguided federal dietary advice may have played a key role in one of the biggest public health disasters in recent American history. The federal government is in the process of revising in its dietary guidelines. The Washington Post recently had a long piece on how the anti-whole milk bias in prior federal guidelines helped spur an […]

Wash. Post’s Wittiest Column Ends; Captured my Supreme Court Eviction
Washington Post’s Al Kamen announced yesterday that he is ending his “In the Loop” column. Kamen has set the gold standard for irony and sarcasm for political and bureaucratic finagling since 1992. Kamen is a rarity in D.C. – a journalist more likely to scoff than to curtsy to the Powers That Be. Here is his amusing […]
MP3 – Govt. Lies, Wars, & 9/11 with Denver’s Peter Boyles
Denver KNUS host Peter Boyles and I had another rattlin’ good chat today about the continuing cover-up of 9/11. (The interview was spurred by this piece I wrote for USA Today on the continuing coverup of a 2002 congressional report.) Boyles has made himself an expert on the details of the Saudi involvement and is doing a […]

I will be back on the Peter Boyles show on KNUS AM Radio in Denver on Thursday, October 8, at 9 a.m. EASTERN. I’m not sure of the topics. I sent him the Public Policy Hooligan outtake on how I almost got arrested hitchhiking the first time I visited Colorado. Or maybe he will want […]

I recalled the 2004 U.S. bombings of a hospital in Fallujah. So I tossed out a tweet – Blowing up that Kunduz hospital is a small price to […]
Attention Deficit Democracy Cured?
Maybe the Justice Department can cure this Attention Deficit Democracy problem by proposing an amendment to the Voting Rights Act to protect the calendar-impaired voters. Maybe the feds could require states to count the votes of those who are clueless about when Election Day occurs? Actually, some states might already be moving in that […]
Bastiat Prize Finalist
I was happy to learn this afternoon that I am one of six finalists for the Reason Foundation’s Bastiat Prize for Journalism. Frederic Bastiat was one of the most eloquent and incisive economists of the 19th century. He set the gold standard for lucid, courageous policy writing. And he was an uncompromising champion of freedom. […]
