Adult Babies - National Review Online

Adult Babies - National Review Online:
by Mark Steyn

At a million-dollar San Francisco fundraiser today, President Obama warned his recession-battered supporters that if he loses the 2012 election it could herald a new, painful era of self-reliance in America.

"Oh, no! The horror!

“Self-reliance” is now a pejorative? Nice to have that clarified."

New England: the gold rush | Robert McCrum | Travel | The Observer:

"Genuine inn-keepers fiercely defend their independence. In Bethlehem, New Hampshire, Brad and Ilja Chapman manage Adair, one of the loveliest inns in New England, a remote 1920s country house hidden down a twisting drive about 20 minutes from Meredith. They run the place themselves, with a chef and a couple of maids, and pride themselves on knowing their customers. The bedrooms have neither phone nor television, which contributes to the restful air. Ilja, who is Dutch, likes to talk about the "Adair family", which gives you some idea of what you might expect as a guest."

GHEI: Put the spotlight on the Fed - Washington Times:

"It’s time for a serious housecleaning at the Fed. A recent audit by the General Accountability Office found a lack of transparency at the Federal Reserve. That’s putting it mildly. There’s no excuse for the shady dealings at the central bank - reform is long overdue."

Should the State of NH Regulate Marriage?

New Hampshire Might Legalize Civil Unions For Everyone—Including Siblings:

"Asked about the logic behind allowing siblings to enter into civil unions, Bates responded, “You have that question backwards. By definition in the bill, a ‘civil union’ means a contractual agreement that provides reciprocal benefits and obligations to the parties to the agreement.”

Ron Paul Blasts "Sinister" TSA Checkpoint Program:

"If you thought the Transportation Security Administration would limit itself to conducting unconstitutional searches at airports, think again,” Paul said in the October 24 edition of his Texas Straight Talk newsletter. “The agency intends to assert jurisdiction over our nation’s highways, waterways, and railroads as well."

TSA's VIPR Bites Rail, Bus, and Ferry Passengers - Slashdot

TSA's VIPR Bites Rail, Bus, and Ferry Passengers - Slashdot:

"OverTheGeicoE writes
"TSA's VIPR program may be expanding. According to the Washington Times, 'TSA has always intended to expand beyond the confines of airport terminals. Its agents have been conducting more and more surprise groping sessions for women, children and the elderly in locations that have nothing to do with aviation.' In Tennessee earlier this month, bus passengers in Nashville and Knoxville were searched in addition to the truck searches discussed here previously. Earlier this year in Savannah, Georgia, TSA forced a group of train travelers, including young children, to be patted down. (They were getting off the train, not on.) Ferry passengers have also been targeted. According to TSA Administrator John Pistole's testimony before the Senate last June, 'TSA conducted more than 8,000 VIPR operations in the [previous] 12 months, including more than 3,700 operations in mass-transit and passenger-railroad venues.' He wants a 50% budget increase for VIPR for 2012. Imagine what TSA would do with the extra funding.""
