Thomas Sowell, Townhall — Failure or Success?

NY Times — Medical Marijuana Industry Is Unnerved by U.S. Crackdown

Here’s what confuses me. The Obama DOJ has sued AZ, AL, etc., because those states enacted laws which enforce federal immigration law, claiming that the states have no Constitutional authority to do so even though there’s an existing federal program to train state law enforcement agencies to do exactly that. States, on the other hand, which have passed medical marijuana laws—in direct violation of federal law—have not been taken to court in order to suppress those laws. Oh, that’s right…smoking pot—like illegal immigration—is a cause liberals support. Throw in a raid occasionally and we can pretend we’re doing something about it. Nothing to see here. Sorry for the confusion.

Fox News — Did $16 Stand in the Way of Climate Science?

Climategate 2.0 should be as entertaining as the first round. You simply are not going to convince the general public that you’re conducting legitimate science—even if you are—when you’re so blatant about having a specific agenda.
