"Internet piracy bill: A free speech 'kill switch'"

It’s coming — and in fact, we’ve already seen it with Google and YouTube, who routinely pull down content and block users accounts for such bogus reasons as “privacy violations” and the like. There’s no recourse, once the government gives the clampdown on speech its imprimatur. You are a slave to the bureaucratic morass. By design. It’s all meant not simply to silence you, but to frustrate you — and

"The New Deal Was A Failure: Hoover and FDR Prolonged the Great Depression with Big Government"

Narrated by Reason TV reporter Michelle Fields for the Center for Freedom and Prosperity. Matt Damon!

I know. Ramesh Ponnuru — who has such great hopes for Romney conservatism (he’s The One! The new GOP lightbringer!) — will be devastated. But it is what it is — and fortunately for us, people other than the Romney “electability” brigade are paying attention, and find no great comfort in a nominating philosophy that promises not to consider political leanings. Listen: I understand the rhetorical appeal of pretending that

Q: What do you get when you cross a 60 Minutes reporter with a mime?

A: Steve Kroft, who somehow managed to do an entire interview with the President without speaking — or at least, without speaking about Solyndra, Congressional calls for Attorney General Holder’s impeachment, the MF Global scandal (and in particular, the role played by top Obama fundraiser Jon Corzine), or Elena Kagan’s involvement in the legislative guidance of ObamaCare before her appointment to SCOTUS. Though in his defense, Kroft did manage to
