Earlier this week I wrote in the Washington Times about the introduction of a national Renewable Electricity Mandate bill by New Mexico Democrat Sen. Jeff Bingaman and Kansas Republican Sen. Sam Brownback. About 30 states already have them in one form or another, which require public utilities to generate…

The Washington Post today has another of their "scientists say" articles (they're actually just wildlife advocates -- well, only certain wildlife, as you'll see) about how too many birds are falling prey because of excessive outdoor cats:

Scientists are quietly raging about the effects that cats, both owned and stray, are having on…

Alan Grayson D-FL Caught in Outright Lie!!!

In a shameless attempt to smear his Repubican opponent, Democrat Alan Grayson of Florida has reached a new low. In the history of political smear ads, never has a quote been taken so far out of context. To see the Fox News video, click on the pic below or go to the following link:…

From this morning's edition of the Washington Examiner's weeklong series on Big Green:

The median salary among all 15 of the highest-paid Big Green environmental officials (the nonprofits like Environmental Defense…

The Hill (via Drudge): 'Dems to stuff 20 bills into post-election lame duck session:'

Democrats are considering cramming as many as 20 pieces of legislation into the lame-duck session they plan to hold after the Nov. 2 election.

The array of bills competing for floor time shows the sense of urgency among Democratic lawmakers to act before the start of the 112th Congress, when Republicans…

The Left, even the Obama Administration, has vilified Fox News as an extreme

right wing shill; they see Fox as dedicated to their destruction. Until recently

the better understanding of Fox is that of a brilliant business plan to tap an

unserved niche in the news marketplace. While obvious to anyone who lives in a

town smaller than a million people, prior to Fox nobody was providing news

without a strong leftward bent. Fox stepped in like a blast of fresh air and…

Yet more shovel-ready busy-work funded by taxpayers, discovered by the Freedom Foundation of Minnesota and Watchdog.org:

St. Cloud Regional Airport touts lots of amenities on its website—a café, ATM, free wi-fi, free parking and a $5 million completely renovated terminal whose capacity went up dramatically from 30 to 200 travelers. There’s also a new $750,000…

Vulnerable Rep. Betsy Markey, and many fellow Colorado Democrats, has been the beneficiary of liberal billionaire heiress Pat Stryker's generous political contributions, which helped transform it into a Blue State a few short years ago. Now it appears that Markey has returned the favor by helping one of Stryker's…

This was taken on a pretty busy thoroughfare in south Raleigh. The three Democrat congressmen listed on the sign -- Bob Etheridge, Brad Miller and David Price -- all have significant portions of their districts in North Carolina's state capital.

Hat tip to the Wall Street Journal's John Fund for the head's up on this campaign ad by Let Freedom Ring, which criticizes Sen. Lisa Murkowski over her write-in campaign after she lost the Alaska Republican primary to newcomer Joe Miller. It reminds voters that she got her seat because…

And as the current playbook demands, anti-Koch Industries (the new Exxon) also. The take-home quote:

“I don’t think you want the Tea Party running your community, running your family, running your government.”

In case you need a…

Talk radio show host Mark Gillar at teapartypowerhour.com sent the following email message about the Reverend C.L. Bryant, which I'm happy to share with my fellow Freedom Pubbers.

Reverend C.L. Bryant is doing a magnificent job bringing African-Americans into the Tea Party movement. It is Reverend Bryant's contention that the liberal, progressive agenda is a new form of modern-day slavery which enslaves African-Americans to the…

Colin Beavan, the author of "No Impact Man," which chronicled his yearlong experiment of taking his family off the electricity grid (and from what I hear, toilet paper), has made the rounds this summer at colleges and business forums promoting his book. He recently visited the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, as my former John Locke Foundation colleague Jenna Ashley Robinson explains:

UNCW isn’t the…
