Free Market
A car company can move its factories to Mexico and claim it's a free market.
A toy company can out-source to a Chinese sub-contractor and claim it's a free market.
A major bank can incorporate in Bermuda to avoid taxes and claim it's a free market.
BUT, heaven help the elderly who dare to buy their prescription drugs from a Canadian pharmacy.

Muslims demand Paul Harvey apologize for telling the truth.
In a news item in which Harvey described the bloody nature of cockfight gambling in Iraq, he said: "Add to the thirst for blood a religion which encourages killing, and it is entirely understandable if Americans came to this bloody party unprepared."
Sound ok to me! What did he say that was untrue? Don't make me quote the Koran here again. Captain Poopdeck

A Real War!
Yet it hasn't been a good six months for the Islamists' public relations. Billions the world over are slowly coming to a consensus that the Islamists' killing has cast as a shadow over the Middle East — a deeply disturbed place, better left to stew in its own juices. Only its exports of oil, religious extremism, and terror — not its manufacturing, science, medicine, banking, tourism, humanitarianism, literature, research, or philanthropy — seem to earn global attention. This is all a great tragedy, but one that, after September 11, gives us no time for tears. [Victor Davis Hanson/NRO]

IS IT WORTH IT?
I don't think a lot of people in the anti-war camp believe that saving the lives of tens of thousands of Iraqis, no matter how much these people deserve and are desperate for our help, is worth even one American life. Rightly or wrongly. I can't shake the feeling that there are those who think we're that much better than the rest of the world that we shouldn't be bothered with them when they need us so badly, and when we're the only ones who want to help.

This is an old one from Michael that I missed. Still good. Captain Poopdeck

 WEIRD AIRCRAFT.
I just love aircraft. Fascinating precision instruments that do the impossible as routine. But not every aircraft made a whole lot of sense. This webpage has the skinny on plenty of weirdo designs that made sense to someone at some... [Hell In A Handbasket]

SPEAKING ILL OF THE LEFT. [The Spoons Experience]
Should conservatives really not question the patriotism of much of the Left? Frankly, I've never understood the taboo. To my way of thinking, this is a really neat trick that the Left has pulled off. They take their most vulnerable weakness, and convince everyone that it's rude to talk about it.

toting a gun. [Gut Rumbles]
"That is a stainless-steel Colt .38 revolver loaded with police-issue ammunition. I have two speed-loaders in the glove box. I ran that light back there because a white boy has no business in this neighborhood at this time of night. You know that fact as well as I do. I have that pistol on the seat only because I want to get home safe and sound. I am sober and I want no trouble with you, officer. I just got off work and I want to go home and go to sleep. I've got to do this shit again tomorrow."
He looked at my driver's license and said, "Go home and go to bed. I'll follow you as far as Garden City. Nice pistol you have there."
Most Peace Officer's will respond exactly the same way when treated like intelligent human beings instead of 'that slimeball who dared to stop an important person like me'. I was stopped 3 times while driving my mother-in-laws old T-Bird with one tail light completely missing. All three stops involved different officers and all three were pleasant because I did not cop an attitude. Captain Poopdeck
