Arizona CPS placing children with FLDS members

What could go wrong?

And it's libertarians who are heartless?

Mayor Bloomberg, defending his proposal to limit the availability of pain-killers to the needy in emergency rooms: "[S]o you didn't get enough painkillers and you did have to suffer a little bit. The other side of the coin is people are dying and there's nothing perfect…."

Oh, but this is just one freak example?

N.B: "Exterminate all the brutes!"

RIP James Buchanan

Economist James Buchanan has died at the age of 93. A brilliant thinker in political economy, whose writings have taught me a lot.

Sheriff Arpaio accepts award from Sons of Confederate Veterans

Here's "America's Sheriff" accepting an award from the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
