Australia and New Zealand both have higher degrees of economic freedom than the U.S.

Australia's public debt is less than 25% of GDP. That's world's better than the U.S.'s economy handcuffed at 100%. That's a huge indicator of economic freedom right there. They also have strong property rights, strong open-market policies, light government spending, and efficient regulations that encourage entrepeneurship and free-trade.

LOL, when the winds shift ice out of the Arctic Ocean, it's denied because climate change must be the cause; when winds shift ice in to Antarctica, it's caused by climate change. I guess it was only a matter of time before they came with with an AGW explanation for Antarctica adding an area of ice the size of Connecticut every year since 1979. What the story calls "small Antarctic increase". Yet when the Arctic loses a much smaller amount the same story calls it "dramatic".

I wonder how they explain the ice getting thicker over decades in Antarctica? (Nevermind, I finished the story -- they said that's it's not). This is what passes for ethical science these days. Sad.

LOL. I like how he parked in the road with his headlights on. The aren't gonna get hot pizza with a dead battery.

Why did they use a guy with such a scratchy voice to act in this?

He's up on the podium right now lying and class-warfaring his tail off. "97% of you won't see one single cent of tax increases".

A little later he said 98%...and if we accomplish that they won't feel the effects of the fiscal cliff. Huh?

The White House Press Corps (or is that "corpse", Barack?) is too busy loving up Dear Leader to detect any fault with his leadership. Such as Chicago Tribune reporter Christi Parson's fawning fan girl act at Wednesday's WH press conference, where she admiringly giggled "I've never seen you lose" to her progressive hero. The "come hither" look on her face was enough to send Michelle O. into a decapitating fury.

Look at the thug Trumka blaming it on "Bain-style crony capitalism". The guy is utterly shameless. Obama may even defend Hostess union workers with more vigor than he protected our personnel in Libya.

I tried to look up more on this subject but found instead a slideshow titled "42 Girls Eating Twinkies" and I forgot all about unions and stuff.

More union threats. Because it's their job to enforce city ordinances or something. And it's the city's job to decide what a living wage is.

As many as 1000 Service Employees International Union (SEIU) workers at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) are considering going on strike on Thanksgiving eve in what is the busiest travel day of the year.

Andrew Gross-Gaitan, the director of the Southern California Airports Division of SEIU, said the protest would be in response to an LAX contractor that failed to comply with the city’s Living Wage Ordinance.

“When people’s lives are on the line, their family members are on the line, they’re not going to be able to enjoy their Thanksgiving," Gross-Gaitan told KNX 1070 Newsradio. “This is really a critical moment for thousands of workers.”

An estimated 1.8 million passengers are expected to travel through LAX over Thanksgiving weekend, and the potential strike would cause chaos at the airport.


I looked it up. The Living Wage Ordinance is $15.37/hr if no health care. Plus rules requiring sick leave, vacation, and not retaliating against union organizing.

LOL!

I guess it's OK for the pot growers to sow their seed on the ground now too.

Fluff.

It's time for the winning party's candidate to show some leadership. It's time to handle the out-of-control spending like adults. It's time to stop pretending like your taxes and regulations aren't making everybody's lives more expensive and jobs harder to get. It's time to treat our warfighters with as much respect as rappers and not just another social entitlement group. It's time to face up to the realities of the Islamic Spring. It's time to acknowledge that Egypt has joined the other Arab countries that want Israel destroyed. It's time to reflect on the morals of the Palestinians who today are handing out candy to children to celebrate dead Jews in a bombed bus (before we give them more money). It's time to put a few qualified professionals in posiitions of national security and management instead of Chicago and Washington lawyers and cronies. It's time to stop fantastical dreaming about so-called clean energy preventing so-called global warming. It's time to put down the golf clubs and cut back on the hip-hop rapper parties and get your ass to work.
