The Labor Seder
Forward: Traditionalists might scoff at such adaptations of the Passover meal. But some 30 battle-hardened labor activists and members of the Jewish community took to the changes without blinking as they gathered near ground zero of labor’s battle against government efforts to curb collective bargaining rights.
Via HotAir's The Greenroom:
"Right. Moses led the Hebrews into the desert because Pharaoh wouldn’t let them collectively bargain pension levels and health care providers."

Attorneys General Battle NLRB Over Boeing Plant
FoxNews: Boeing is slated to open its newest 787 airliner assembly line this summer in South Carolina, a "right-to-work" state, in which employee's can't be forced to join a union to work at unionized plants. In Washington state and the 28 states without "right-to-work" laws, once a majority of workers have opted to join a union, everyone can be required to join and pay dues. That gives labor groups an advantage in organizing.
Feds sting Amish farmer selling raw milk
A yearlong sting operation, including aliases, a 5 a.m. surprise inspection and surreptitious purchases from an Amish farm in Pennsylvania, culminated in the federal government announcing this week that it has gone to court to stop Rainbow Acres Farm from selling its contraband to willing customers in the Washington area.
The product in question: unpasteurized milk.

Because exhaust from an icebreaking ship might drift as far as an Eskimo village, 70 miles away, with a population of 245.
"Shell has spent five years and nearly $4 billion dollars on plans to explore for oil in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. The leases alone cost $2.2 billion".

How Obamacare Punishes Work
WSJ: This new entitlement—which the chief actuary of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimates will cost more than $100 billion per year once it is fully implemented—will damage the country's long-term fiscal outlook.

China to cut U.S. Dollar reserves
BEIJING, April 23 (Xinhua) -- China should reduce its excessive foreign exchange reserves and further diversify its holdings, Tang Shuangning, chairman of China Everbright Group, said on Saturday.
The amount of foreign exchange reserves should be restricted to between 800 billion to 1.3 trillion U.S. dollars, Tang told a forum in Beijing, saying that the current reserve amount is too high.
China's foreign exchange reserves increased by 197.4 billion U.S. dollars in the first three months of this year to 3.04 trillion U.S. dollars by the end of March.
Tang's remarks echoed the stance of Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of China's central bank, who said on Monday that China's foreign exchange reserves "exceed our reasonable requirement" and that the government should upgrade and diversify its foreign exchange management using the excessive reserves.

Banning ice makers - the next light bulb?
Ice makers are the latest target in the left’s ongoing war against the conveniences of modern life. Earlier this month, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued a report that may condemn this essential household item to the contraband list that already includes functional light bulbs, toilets, washing machines and showerheads.
Those looking for an easy way to cool down their drinks with ice cubes are guilty of increasing their refrigerator’s energy consumption by about 12 to 20 percent. That’s unacceptable to global-warming alarmists at the Department of Energy (DOE) who are hard at work finalizing regulatory standards for the fridge. The proposed changes will increase prices by an estimated $2 billion per year, but DOE justifies this added expense by claiming consumers would save $37 in electricity costs over the lifetime of a typical side-by-side.

Obama axes the right to play Internet poker
On a day now known among online poker players as “Black Friday,” the Department of Justice did us Americans the favor of saving us from ourselves by shutting down the three most popular and trusted online poker platforms.
While the accusations of bank fraud and money laundering that authorities are asserting against the poker companies are serious, the root cause of their criminal activity (if there is any) is their attempt to circumvent a regulation that is confusing to the point of killing an entire industry. Most online poker companies moved offshore, and while some continued to offer services to American players, most banks and credit-processing companies began blocking any transaction related to any type of online gambling because they could not know for sure which would be considered “unlawful.” The banks in last week’s indictment chose to look the other way while players sent money to online gambling websites and the websites sent money to players. Was there fraud? Possibly. Is there a victim here? Not likely.

America’s Ever Expanding Welfare Empire
Forbes: "Of course, the big picture comprises the entire scope of entitlement programs, including Social Security and Medicare. Social Security spending for 2010 was $721.5 billion, with Medicare spending totaling $457 billion for the year, for a combined total of $1.179 trillion. Adding in federal welfare spending for the year leaves a combined total for entitlement spending of $1.879 trillion. The total federal budget for that year was 3.720 trillion. So entitlement/welfare state spending overall for that year was just over 50% of the entire budget. Not exactly stingy."
Ryan’s budget only slows the growth of this welfare/entitlement empire.

MUST READ! Steyn: The Disappearing Dollar
Mark Steyn on the devaluation of the dollar and the consequences when it's no longer the world's reserve currency.
"What will America look like without the dollar as global currency? My old boss Conrad Black recently characterized what’s happened over the last half-century as a synchronized group devaluation by Western currencies. That’s a useful way of looking at it. What obscured it was the dollar’s global role. When the dollar’s role is ended, the reality of a comatose “superpower” living off a fifth of a billion in borrowed dollars every single hour of the day is harder to obscure."

Obama’s spray-on hair of fiscal policy
Dr. MIlton Wolf: It has become increasingly obvious that to balance America’s national budget, we must cut spending and optimize tax revenues. The challenge is to find the tax rate that will best yield the necessary revenue. Consider these obvious scenarios: A tax rate of zero percent would yield zero in revenues, while a tax rate of 100 percent would also yield zero in revenues because no one would work for nothing. Americans aren’t stupid. Clearly, then, simply increasing tax rates will not always increase revenues.

$6 Gas? Could Happen if Dollar Keeps Getting Weaker
CNBC: "All we have to have is a couple badly placed hurricanes which could constrain some of the refinery output capacity in some key locations," says Richard Hastings, strategist at Global Hunter Securities in Charlotte, N.C. "If you get weakness in the dollar concurrent with the strong driving season concurrent with the impact of one or two hurricanes in the wrong place, prices could go up in a quasi-exponential manner."
Using a model that combines "subtle rates of change" with movements in the dollar index [.DXY 74.11

] and commodity prices, Hastings figures the low dollar is responsible for about one-third, or $1.31, of the total gas-at-the-pump cost.

There should be a ‘Regulation Day’ to Remind Us How Much They Cost
At The Corner: "Regulations cost $1.75 trillion in compliance costs, according to the Small Business Administration. That’s greater than the record federal budget deficit — projected at $1.48 trillion for FY 2011 — and greater even than all corporate pretax profits. This is only one of many findings of the new edition of Wayne’s “Ten Thousand Commandments: An Annual Snapshot of the Federal Regulatory State,” a survey of the cost and compliance burden imposed by federal regulations."

Radial Islamist groups gaining stranglehold in Egypt

Telegraph: The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s largest Islamic movement and the founder of Hamas, has set up a network of political parties around the country that eclipse the following of the middle class activists that overthrew the regime. On the extreme fringe of the Brotherhood, Islamic groups linked to al-Qeada are organising from the mosques to fill the vacuum left by the collapse of the dictatorship.

The Homer Simpson Approach to Social Security
In a classic episode of The Simpsons, a hungry Homer Simpson runs out of donuts and breaks into his emergency stash. But when he opens the box, it’s empty except for a note that reads: “Dear Homer, IOU one emergency donut. Signed, Homer.” Homer curses his earlier self: “Bastard! He’s always one step ahead.”
It’s easy to laugh at Homer Simpson’s folly, but America is doing the same thing with Social Security financing, and the end result won’t be amusing.

How to Pay No Taxes
The Internet Tax Mirage : Politicians drive online commerce—and revenue—out of state.
The biggest false claim is that e-commerce will bankrupt states. This is what retailers and state legislatures said after the Quill decision, but sales tax receipts soared in the decade afterward. The most important influence on state tax receipts is economic growth, and revenues in some states are already returning to their pre-recession peaks.

It’s also a decided bucking of state and federal laws.

(Ed is my "significant other")
(Ed is my "significant other")
No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in
writing a poem.
- Booker T. Washington
(Up from Slavery)
In all things that are purely social we [black and white] can be as separate as the
fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.
- Washington
(speech at the Cotton States and International
Exposition, Atlanta, 18 September 1895)
No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual, and moral
well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.
- Washington
(attributed)
As nearly as any man I have ever met, Booker T. Washington lived up to Micah's
verse, "What more doth the Lord require of thee than to do justice, have mercy, and
walk humbly with thy God."
- Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)
(quoted in Stokes, A Brief Biography of
Booker T. Washington)
(Today is the 155th anniversary of the birth of Afro-American educator Booker T[aliaferro]
Washington (1856-1915), born a slave in Franklin County, Virginia. Washington worked
in salt furnaces and coal mines after the Civil War before gaining an education at the
Hampton Institute and becoming an instructor there. In 1881, he founded the normal and
industrial school for Afro-Americans at Tuskegee, Alabama that later became the Tuske-
gee Institute, at one time the leading educational institution for black Americans. An able
orator, Washington believed fervently in economic independence as a necessary precursor
to achieving full racial equality, and for this reason he was often criticized as what would
now be called an "Uncle Tom" by other early black leaders. Sadly, he seems largely for-
gotten today, although I recall that during my youth he was revered as a leading exemplar
of the power of education for African-American progress. He is supposed to have noted,
"No man can hold another man down in the ditch
without remaining down in the ditch with him.")

Memri: renowned Pakistani columnist Nusrat Mirza accused the U.S. of artificially causing the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, calling the radiation leaks resulting from damage to nuclear plants the U.S.'s "second nuclear attack" on the Japanese nation.
Additionally, Nusrat Mirza argued that the world will have to decide that the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan, the 2010 Pakistani floods, the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia, and the 2011 Japanese earthquake-cum-tsunami were all artificially caused by the U.S., possibly through the use of HAARP technology at a scientific research center in Alaska.
