RegulationsNutty CA Court Attacks Hybrid CarsFriday, February 3rd, 2012 John Seiler: I'd rather walk that drive a hybrid car. After bourbon, the internal combustion engine is mankind's greatest invention. All talk of oil "shortages" and too much "pollution" is just socialist blather used to destroy our freedoms. But some folks like hybrids. Soon they could be payi... CA: 8 Cities in Top 10 UnemployedWednesday, February 1st, 2012John Seiler: What economic recovery? Of the Top 10 worst cities for unemployment in the United States, eight were in California: El Centro, Calif. 26.8 percent unemployed Yuma, Ariz. 23.1 Merced, Calif. 18.7 Yuba City, Calif. 18.1 Visalia-Porterville, Calif. 16.2 Fresno, Calif. 16.2 Mod... CARB, Nichols Ignore Global COOLINGSunday, January 29th, 2012 John Seiler: In California, everything is upside down. On Friday, the California Air Resources Board clicked its jackboots and ordered one in seven Calfornia cars to be "ultra clean" by 2025. That means "battery electric, hydrogen fuel cell and plug-in hybrid vehicles." It's supposed to cut... Bring Back Real Cars!Saturday, January 21st, 2012 John Seiler: In the government's obsessive project to treat us all like prison inmates, it has destroyed the great cars America once produced. Except for pollution controls -- which were done stupidly anyway -- all government controls on cars amount to tyranny. If I want to drive in a dangerou... Internet Shoots Down CensorshipFriday, January 20th, 2012 John Seiler: Sometimes you win one. This week, the Good Guys won a Big One. Hollywood's attempt to censor the Internet went down in flames like a Luftwaffe jet fighter shot down by the American "Red Tails" in the new movie of that name. Hollywood lobbyists pushed cash and legislation on Con... DeVore Thriving in Free TexasWednesday, January 18th, 2012 John Seiler: People keep fleeing repressive California -- with its hereditary Dear Leader, Kim Jong Brown -- for the free state of Texas. One of the latest was Chuck DeVore, formerly a California assemblyman and candidate for the U.S. Senate. He also held jobs in the private sector and paid taxes... UC Imposes PC Smoking BanFriday, January 13th, 2012 John Seiler: Even though it's advertised as a health measure, smoking bans actually are Politically Correct posturing. They say, "I'm better than you. You're a working-class schlub for smoking. I'm an elitist, over-educated, Politically Correct snob. Stop enjoying yourself." You can see this i... Global Warming Proved a FakeMonday, January 9th, 2012 John Seiler: New research proves global warming a fake. If this state had any sense, it would repeal Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. It forces the state to cut greenhouse gas emissions, which supposedly cause global warming, by 25 percent by 2020. Thu... Arnold’s Bentley Sales Up 37%Monday, January 9th, 2012John Seiler: I've been keeping tabs here on the hypocrisy of ex-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's love of gigantic, gas-guzzling dinosaurs. Since leaving office, he's been photographed tooling around in a Mercedes G-Wagon SUV, so big it needs an entire Persian Gulf nation to supply it with fuel. The... ‘Evenhanded’ Air Resources BoardFriday, December 30th, 2011Katy Grimes: On Thursday, a federal judge stopped the California Air Resources Board from continuing to pursue the business stifling cap and trade, low-carbon fuel regulations. Chalk one up for the good guys. U.S. District Court Judge Lawrence O'Neill issued a preliminary injunction preventing... |
