Over a Barrel
The United States economy – like that of much of the developed world – remains mired in the worst downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Bill Maher: Don't you dare lower the legal blood alcohol limit, you nanny-staters!
May 19, 2013 08:38 PM
So lowering the blood alcohol limit is an unacceptable intrusion by the Nanny State (even though doing so probably would save lives). Gun control, on the other hand, is positively wonderful (even though the right to bear arms, unlike the right to drive, is protected by the U.S. Constitution): And nationalizing one-seventh of the economy in the name […]

We suspect that the number of major charitable organizations supporting Murdoch’s […]
Chicago Teacher's Union marches to protest school closures
May 19, 2013 05:29 PM
That’s right. It’s OK for the “educators” in the Chicago Teacher’s Union to shut down schools and endanger kids left abandoned to streets, but it’s murder when Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel tries to shut down schools (most of them poor performers) to keep the district solvent. Most Chicago public schools are awful, and teachers earn $76,000 […]
