Food for Thought for American Conservatives - (USA)
More good content floating around the Web. This morning, @derekcbart tweeted a link to a site with the below-quoted content. I’m trying to find the source and the closest I seem to get is this post on reddit . The author of this put a lot of thought into it. Although his grammar leaves a bit to be desired, and his original title is sure to turn off anyone who actually is a conservative (which is why I edited it), he’s 100% correct in his statements. I’m reposting it here as some food f

Numberscruncher: Public Choice - (USA)
As the good folks in Washington sort through the financial crisis, they want to know what happened and how to prevent it from happening again. What happened is that public choice economics proved to work flawlessly while other theories, about free and efficient markets, fell down on the job. So what is this public choice theory? It’s a theory dreamed up by James Buchanan , a professor at George Mason University. He won the Nobel Prize for economics in 1986 for “for his development of the cont

Worker Safety: Bush Aides Rush to Enact a Safety Rule Obama Opposes - (USA)
Robert Pear writes in The New York Times: The Labor Department is racing to complete a new rule, strenuously opposed by President-elect Barack Obama, that would make it much harder for the government to regulate toxic substances and hazardous chemicals to which workers are exposed on the job. The rule, which has strong support from business groups, says that in assessing the risk from a particular substance, federal agencies should gather and analyze “industry-by-industry evidence” of employee

90 Percent of U.S. Infant Formula May Be Contaminated with Melamine; FDA Abruptly Declares Chemical - (USA)
Up to 90 percent of the infant formula sold in the United States may be contaminated with trace amounts of melamine, the toxic chemical linked to kidney damage, according to recent tests. The FDA’s test results, which the agency hid from the public and only released after the Associated Press filed a Freedom of Information Act request, showed that Nestle, Mead Johnson and Enfamil infant formula products were all contaminated with melamine. The AP is also reporting that Abbott Laboratories

The dice are rolling against you. Not only was this vaccine not researched enough on the age group they are telling parents, to get their children vaccinated. How did that happen? As you know the FDA and large pharmaceuticals walk hand in hand or should I say that one hand washes the other. Each day that goes by, more wom

Saint Paul – At the State Capitol this afternoon, Governor Tim Pawlenty said, “Politics as usual around this place is over. The people of Minnesota expect and deserve timely and decisive action. I will not let the legislature’s work spill over into a special session. We are not going to waste taxpayer money with a costly overtime or have a state government shutdown, especially in this economy. My preference would be for DFL legislators to work with me on a reasonable budget solution, but

Time to Step It Up on Privatization in Virginia - (USA)
As I wrote in these pages in June, the ongoing fiscal crises in Virginia’s state and local government demand that policymakers rejuvenate their privatization efforts as part of a broader cost-cutting and budget strategy. The Commonwealth is generally regarded as a pioneer and early adopter in the privatization of various state government programs and functions. At the same time, the state’s privatization efforts of late have tended to advance slowly and in piecemeal fashion, lacking a robust

Dissident voiceby Sheila Samples / May 13th, 2009 While ITNT has shown that bees are affected by electropollution , the case for pesticides has been hurled across the Mainstream media in recent documentaries and articles. Much of the Alternative media too seem to have concluded that the problem has been solved. Yet when we first investigated CCD we were struck by how beekeepers reported that pesticides caused piles of dead bodies outside the hive. This is not the case with CCD. This Spanish st

FDA's Sentinel Initiative Information Revealed – Business Intelligence - (USA)
The FDA has a link to where they are releasing information about the Sentinel Initiative which appears to be one big aggregator of sorts, but there’s not enough stated to really be 100% how it will function.
