Right Views

By David Roberts In last weekend’s New York Times, conservatives Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.) and Arthur Laffer had an op-ed claiming that a revenue-neutral “tax shift” would make conservatives “the new administration’s best allies on climate change.” Color me skeptical.

From Michael Bane, comes The Shooting Wire: Democratic insiders are telling us the firearms industry will be used as an object lesson to both sides of the aisle.
