Climate: The Road to Paris (1)
(Steven Hayward) The climate change circus is aiming to achieve a binding global treaty to reduce greenhouse gas emissions—think of it as Son of Kyoto (my what a success that was)—in Paris at the end of the year. I'll be all over this story between now and then, but a preliminary meeting has opened in Bonn, Germany, this week to try to make progress on a framework that is still very sketchy

The Insincerity of Rand Paul
(Steven Hayward) I had hopes at the outset that Rand Paul would be more sensible than his father, and for a while it looked like this might be the case. He has been about the only prominent Republican trying to broaden the base of the Republican Party by speaking on college campuses and to minority groups, and he made measured attempts to set out a "non-interventionist" foreign policy vision that was not

In the book's chapter 6, Harris provided an account of the reform of airline passenger screening in the Clinton administration to avert alleged racial profiling. By the time of the book's publication

Study: Minorities Will Be Hardest Hit By Franchising Crackdown
Minority small business owners have the most to lose if the Obama administration's labor regulators do away with the franchise business model, according to a new report. The franchise model allows individuals to open their own businesses under larger corporate brands, such as McDonald's, in exchange for an annual fee. Those franchisees handle the day-to-day business operations with the national brand handling marketing and, in some cases, supply. An analysis of the nation's franchisees conducted by Competitive Enterprise Institute, a free-market think tank, found that the business model has been a boon to immigrants and minority entrepreneurs.

What makes Lindsey run?
(Paul Mirengoff) Lindsey Graham has announced that he is running for president. Whenever a Senate "old bull" with very little support in the polls (e.g., Orrin Hatch, Arlen Specter, Chris Dodd) makes such an announcement, the question always asked is: why? The answer is easy. Long-time Senators who have achieved distinction in that body naturally consider themselves well-suited for the next step up. Moreover, they have taken the measure of the "upstart"
