Protesters against Arizona’s new immigration law have held rallies at Union Square in New York and other places across the country.

Goodbye to One Man, One Vote

By Selwyn Duke

If you thought that “one man, one vote” reflected the full flowering of representative democracy, think again. In the village of Port Chester, N.Y., just a few towns north of my locality in Westchester County, there is a new system. It’s “one (minority) man, six votes” — brought to us courtesy of the U.S. Department of Injustice and a lunkhead of a federal judge named Stephen Robinson.

BP Should Deny Everything and Brace for Impact

by Bill Bonner

Sittin’ on the dock of the bay…
Watchin’ the tide roll away…

~ “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay,” Otis Reading

We’re glad we’re not sitting on the dock of the bay in Biloxi or St. Petersburg. There’s oil coming that way…and it’s not the kind you can burn in your lamp.

Is Deepwater Horizon Not Being Blown Up Because BP Secretly Hopes To Drill From It Again?

by Megan McArdle

My father, who worked in the petrochemical industry for decades, tells me that there is a well-established method for dealing with a problem like this: blowing up the well.

So why isn’t this option being considered, despite the failure of every method tried so far? Because it can’t ever be used again. As a result, BP stands to lose a lot from doing so.

I Believe In The Resurrection Of America

by Chuck Norris

Free Health Care: Right or Privilege?

by Bill Bonner

We’re suspicious of anything the French papers think is a good idea.

You Say You Want a Revolution? Think Again

by C.J. Maloney

“Let us make one thing crystal clear: We do not claim the right to indiscriminate violence. We seek no bloodbath… ~ Black Panther Party”

If the rebellious spirit of our Founders still lives at all, it seems to be concentrated between two groups – libertarians and punks. But, while the spirit may reside, would it be a good idea to act on it?

Healthcare and Economic Realities

by Ron Paul

With passage of last week’s bill, the American people are now the unhappy recipients of Washington’s disastrous prescription for healthcare “reform.” Congressional leaders relied on highly dubious budget predictions, faulty market assumptions, and outright fantasy to convince a slim majority that this major expansion of government somehow will reduce federal spending.

Paul Krugman Versus Reality

By Peter Schiff

In his latest weekly New York Times column, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman put forward arguments that were so nonsensical that the award committee should ask for its medal back.

Recent rhetoric from Washington has put the economic relationship between the U.S. and China squarely on the front burner, and Krugman is demanding that we crank up the flame.

The Meaning Of Freedom According To Marx

By Ed Kaitz

“Think of an economy where people could be an artist or a photographer, a writer without worrying about keeping their day job in order to have health insurance….”
