Ga. Court Rules Obama Eligible to Run; Appeal Slated

by Bob Adelmann | 12:19 pm, February 8, 2012

It was too easy for the Georgia judge to hide behind another court’s questionable ruling. I think the Liberty Legal Foundation may be onto something. At least on appeal the court won’t be able to throw it out on procedural grounds. Stay tuned…

Homeland (Cyber)Security? – Congress moves toward giving DHS control of Internet security

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 10:48 am, February 7, 2012

Since 9/11, this nation is increasingly characterized by foolish overreactions to hysterical flights of fancy.  In the name of preparing for a thousand and one unlikely scenarios, we are spending like drunken sailors and throwing civil liberties out the proverbial window. Case in point: a U.S. House panel approved legislation transferring control of private networks [...]

Radiation may cause cancer. Who knew?

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 4:42 pm, February 6, 2012

Under the bogglingly illogical government we have so judiciously elected, there’s no problem in blasting people with radiation so long as it’s not designated to be for medical purposes.  We all know what this means; because airport scanners aren’t rearranging our atoms for a medical benefit, they don’t come under FDA control.  Hence, your guess is as [...]

Rich Americans Are Fleeing the Country

by Bob Adelmann | 5:22 am, February 5, 2012

Money doesn’t necessarily buy freedom. Rich Americans are discovering how difficult, and expensive, it is to leave the land of the free.

CBO Report: U.S. Deficits “Unsupportable”

by Bob Adelmann | 12:44 pm, February 3, 2012

The Congressional Budget Office has been accused of fudging the numbers. However, these numbers are so bad they don’t can’t be fudged.

Three cheers for data privacy, but is a ‘Right to be Forgotten’ too much?

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 8:30 am, February 3, 2012

New data privacy laws in European Union states have created just that – a digital ‘right’ to be forgotten.  All countries doing business in EU member states will now need to get explicit opt-in permissions to collect data on users and will need to comply with users requests to have that data purged.  Additionally, companies [...]

Anti-Gun Group to Boycott Starbucks on Valentine’s Day

by Bob Adelmann | 12:09 pm, February 2, 2012

I don’t drink coffee but on Tuesday, February 14th, I’m going over to my nearby Starbucks to show them my support for their principled stand and resistance to efforts by anti-gun groups to turn them into their surrogates in their attack on the Second Amendment. And I’m also going to be carrying…

Liberty on the Rocks: Gutenberg Press of the 21st Century [VIDEO]

by Bob Adelmann | 11:22 pm, January 30, 2012

As a writer I never have enough space. As a speaker I never have enough time. But this presentation pretty well nails it: we are the beneficiaries of an amazing technological communications and information provider that is changing the world for the better, just as the Gutenberg press did five hundred years ago.

SCOTUS decision on warrantless GPS surveillance produces an unexpected friend of privacy

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 3:00 pm, January 25, 2012

Read the news long enough and you will find yourself agreeing with people you never thought you could like. Such as Sonia Sotomayor. Earlier this week, in U.S. v. Jones, the nine wise souls of Washington ruled – and unanimously at that – that planting a wireless GPS on a man’s car constitutes a search. [...]

In which the Washington Bureau Chief still doesn’t get foreigners

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 12:00 pm, January 25, 2012

One must suppose any state with a functioning hereditary monarchy has let obsession with the rich and famous get out of hand.  Here in the states, we got rid of royalty and replaced it with Hollywood, the U.S. Senate, and drunk Kennedys.  These individuals support a rip-roaring pulp journalism industry, which those of us with degrees pretend not to [...]
