Happy Earth Day!
(Steven Hayward) In all the excitement today (Fox Business News appearance this morning, then graduation ceremonies on the bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu for the 2016 class at Pepperdine's Graduate School of Public Policy), I almost forgot that it's Lenin's birthday Earth Day!
