Fascists in the Lunch Room
So it seems that a federal “lunch inspector”, after inspecting a North Carolina pre-schooler’s lunch consisting of a turkey sandwich, apple juice, a banana, and potato chips (which by the way sounds to me like a pretty healthy lunch for a pre-schooler), informed the child that her lunch was inadequate because it did not satisfy…
Amish Milk Farmer is a Threat to the Republic
The Washington Times today reported that the FDA has prevailed in its effort to stop an Amish farmer from selling natural, or “raw”, milk, to customers across state lines. Well thank God for that. There are clearly no greater threats than Amish farmers selling a natural product to willing buyers. Thank goodness the FDA is…
Have a sammich
Nothing better than a good sandwich. From Stephan Kinsella comes this awesome ham sammich recipe – and also check out the recipe for Chicken Big Mammou that he describes in the post. I had the original on more than a few occasions, and it was all that Stephan says, and then some.
Judge Napolitano Nails It
I’m a huge fan of Judge Napolitano, and was an avid viewer if his show in Fox Business Channel. His ending message from tonight’s show – the last – is must viewing:

Lithwick and West conclude that, with respect to sitting judges…
Right on Crime?
That’s the title, minus the question mark, of a new website launched by the Texas Public Policy Foundation. The site bills itself as “the sone-stop source for conservative ideas on criminal justice.” As a conservative, and as a lawyer involved in the representation of criminal defendants, I will confess to a little confusion over what…
Looking for deep pocketed 5 year olds
Evidently a New York state judge thinks that its ok to force 5 year old children to defend themselves against lawsuits. What a horrible, disgraceful idea. Any lawyer who files such a lawsuit – not to mention said lawyer’s client – should be ashamed of himself.
Forget the principal, call the DOJ
The federal government clearly doesn’t have enough important things to do, what with chasing down all the evil old baseball players who used steroids and hounding escort service owners to their deaths. This week brings the news that the feds intend to insert themselves into the process of school discipline. Its not sufficient, apparently, to…
