Nick Gillespie, at Reason.com, has nailed it. Three reactions to the hurricane are not only predictable but silly. The first I covered yesterday, exposing the broken window fallacy that Sandy is going to be good for business.

by Randall Smith | 6:00 am, April 12, 2012

There will be Tea Parties across Colorado come tax day. Sadly, I haven’t had the time to organize one in Alamosa. The Tea Parties have shifted focus since their formation in 2009 from a movement of public rallies to one of behind the scenes activism. I…
