From RR, part I

• White House: $9 trillion more in debt over the next 10 years. Can you even picture that number?
• How will we pay for it all?
• The high cost of liberalism.
• Spending ourselves to death. Government expenditures are running at 185 percent of revenue, which is like the lone family breadwinner earning $50,000 a year, while the family spends $92,500 a year.
• The same White House claims swine flu will infect half the US. The editor gets it: It’s still a frickin’ flu-bug, which we all suffer through just about every year. It’s not a mass-killing malaria, or AIDS, or similar peril; raise your immune system, wash your hands a bit more, and relax! That and 100 per cent preventable Aids doesn’t emperil most people but that’s another conversation.
• LRC: it’s a hoax.
• Scotus: church can’t hide criminal priests’ records. I think Connecticut recently tried to violate religious liberty by undermining episcopal government, trying to make RCs congregationalists (BTW Congregationalism was CT’s state religion into the 1800s — perfectly legal as the US Constitution only covers the federal government), but I’ve said ever since this made the news 7 years ago the best thing the church could do is turn these criminals in and let the state throw the book at them. (The RC neocons have Marcial Maciel to answer for.)
• Interrogation probe steams both the left and the right.
• The coming media bailout.
• Why conservatives and liberals dislike libertarians. When you think about it, conservatives and liberals aren’t really on different sides.
• McBain to base. Under attack by Commie-Nazis.
• The great escape from personal responsibility.
• Bloody hell: in gun-ban dreamland Britain, violent crime is up 70 per cent.
• The race war that isn’t or both the shadowy race-baiting part of the right and hustler Morris Dees (and the SWPLs who believe him) are full of it.
