There’s nothing “Fair” about the Fairness Doctrine
The first casualty of the new 111th Congress could be both free speech and the free market. After years of being dormant, many democrats in Congress are hinting that they will seek to re-institute the “Fairness Doctrine,” a doctrine that requires US broadcasters present in equal time on controversial issues. If enacted, the doctrine will undoubtedly be targeted almost exclusively at “conservative talk radio,” and the consequences will be millions of dollars in lost revenues for radio stations across the country, especially AM radio stations, an undoubtedly a blow for free speech in ensuring that the “marketplace of ideas” remains open.

Why does America so love Barrack Obama?
When Sen. Barrack Obama announced his candidacy to rockstar crowds, I shook my head and said, “oh boy - this guy may be the real deal. He may be lightening in a bottle.” My colleagues, some of them democrats, got me to change my initial impression of Obama, telling me how Hillary would ultimately beat [...]
