Photos of my heirloom tomatoes from September 2007

The little red cherry tomatoes are called Wild Cherry, or Matt’s Wild Cherry — they are one of my must-grows. The lone yellow cherry is my other cherry must-grow, Galina’s Yellow Cherry.

The Republicans' new YouCut Web site crowdsources the work of restoring fiscal sanity to the federal budget

One of the most wonderful points economist Friedrich Hayek made in his book explaining how liberal/socialist policies are The Road to Serfdom is that under capitalism the market crowdsources how to solve economic challenges by allowing millions of people use their intelligence and ambition to solve the problems in front of them with great specifity.

Question for my gentle readers: What do you know about social conservatives who are fiscal liberals?

I frequently read about people who describe themselves as fiscal conservatives and social liberals. When I was a liberal, I did not know the real definition of either term, “fiscal conservative” and “social liberal.” I thought the combination meant, “I am prosperous but don’t like paying my fair share of taxes, however I do like …

In September 2009 Matthew Vadum introduced me to Marcel Reid, former national ACORN board member and president of DC ACORN. I only got to talk with her a few minutes but she changed my view of ACORN and the Left forever because she told me that ACORN fired her for believing its stated goals and …

Rand Paul is clueless about the Americans with Disabilities Act

I noticed just now at Memeorandum that it wasn’t enough for Rand Paul to fail to clarify the objections the libertarian philosophy has regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for Rachel Maddow. No, no, no. He was in a hole and kept digging. To wit, in an interview on NPR on Wednesday, May 19, …
