Panic in Cheddar Park
Personally, I prefer my heroin straight out of the syringe—the gold running through my veins like a thousand railroad trains and all that—but if you simply must go ahead and snort the stuff, couldn’t you at least come up with a better street name than cheese? Because sorry, but snorting “Texas cheese” conjures up images that are best left in the closet of your mind, back there in corner, beneath

Graham and the Crackers
Looks like Lindsay Graham is not, shall we say, a big fan of immigration reform—well, except for the kind of Orwellian “comprehensive immigration reform” that pushes for amnesty and panders to racist groups like La Raza. “Bigots,” to Graham, are those who would like to see the U.S. follow its own immigration policy, and enforce its own immigration lawas; whereas those who are hoping to “take back” part of America

Remember that great flick about the horrors of Soviet-era Russia?
Neither does Kenneth Lloyd Billingsley, writing in Reason. In fact, he found just the opposite to be the case, though in a version far more watered down than Moscow would have liked: The studio system, in which projects were closely supervised, made the insertion of [Communist] propaganda difficult if not impossible. Hollywood did not become a bastion of Stalinist propaganda, except as part of the war effort, when Russia was

Republican Debate
protein wisdom summary: Wait, Tommy Thompson is running? And what was Ron Paul doing there? Did Nick Gillespie cancel the Thursday night poker game or something? Okay, actually, I didn’t bother to watch the thing. “CSI” was channeling the “X-Files,” and for those of us who follow our charts, we know better than to get anywhere near a blue suit on nights like that. But for you hardcore debate junkies,
