More Old Links

 Burning Down the House. Love the Poor, They Can Make You Rich. I originally saved this George Will opinion piece where it was published at the Washington Post, but this link gets behind the paywall. July 2011

Public Sector Union Perks. At "No Oil For Pacifists." I was a union member when it was the State Employees Association, strictly a New Hampshire affair. I left when they affiliated nationally "In order to have a stronger voice." September 2011

Also from Carl at NOFP, an example of government officials - this time at the Department of Justice - leaking information to the Washington Post, with the specific intent of harming conservatives. The Post is the house organ, not of the federal government, but of the disparate federal agencies independently. December 2011

Libertarian Ilya Somin of "The Volokh Conspiracy," and the Cato Institute, writing here in the Daily Caller, outlines Obama's Top 10 Constitutional Violations. December 2011

Christopher Booker of the Telegraph reminds us of Barack Obama's role in creating the sub-prime mortgage crisis he later claimed to rescue us from. January 2012

At "Watts Up With That," Dr. David M W Evans lays out what the climate skeptic's case was at that time, beyond merely questioning the prevailing wisdom. Key point - the skeptics believe that the amplification model generally in use is deeply wrong. February 2012

Related to the above - in fact, linked from it - is Richard Lindzen of MIT explaining why we should resist climate hysteria. July 2009

Two from "The Volokh Conspiracy," which at that time was in the Washington Post. (It is now at Reason, for those of you who lost track of them.) The Inconsistency Between the Constitutional Arguments for the Mandate and Medicaid in the ACA. The title is almost as long as the article. The Problem of Science Mismatch provides evidence for the theory that affirmative action is actually reducing the number of science graduates among minorities. Gail Heriot writes about this over at Instapundit these days. March 2012.

Ron Bailey at Reason refutes the Union of Concerned Scientists about corporate influence on funding climate science. June 2012.
