Suppose There Were Food Insurance
Suppose there were food insurance. Rather than everyone paying for food with their own money, people would pay a certain fee to their insurance company every month, and in return the insurance company would pay for all of its clients’ groceries.
Sound like a good idea? Perhaps, but what do you suppose would happen if we had this kind of food insurance?

The first part of the title to this post is a very common phrase amongst conservative circles. In it’s simplest form, the phrase means that as long as we can improve the general economy we will improve the lot of everyone actively involved in the economy. Generally, this statement is true. A growing economy grows total compensation for workers at all levels. The phrase is incomplete though. You can’t artificially raise the tide. You’ll drown a lot of boats.
Caleb Howe has the must read of the weekend over at RedState:
But we cannot move along. Our children are being indoctrinated. It’s not a matter of their being taught incorrect scientific data, it’s that they are being taught a fundamental untruth about science itself. Science isn’t in the business of consensus. We didn’t vote on gravity. If science is in the business of anything, it is skepticism! And truth-seeking.
Go read the whole thing.
Someone has taken quite a lot of money from the conservative think tank here in Missouri:
A conservative think tank often critical of the way public agencies and government manage money is having “substantial financial problems” of its own. Daily RFT has confirmed that a significant sum of money — possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars — is missing from the Show-Me Institute.

Kemper, the former chairman and CEO UMB Bank and current executive director of Kansas City Public Library, adds that the misuse of funds involved a rank employee at the Clayton-based institute.

Sources tell Daily RFT that the person behind the alleged embezzlement is a former manager with the firm who was let go in the last couple months.
Let’s just hope that the Show-Me Institute is able to recover those funds

I can barely wait. This is going to be fun.
On RedState: What Is MO Secretary of State Carnahan Trying to Hide?
Posted: February 26, 2010 in ACORN, Missouri, Project Vote, RedState, Robin CarnahanJim Durbin, editor of 24thstate.com, has been all over a case involving ACORN, Project Vote and the National Voters Rights Act (NVRA). You see, it seems that the Secretary of State’s office coordinated with Project Vote (one of ACORN’s many names) on a law suit against the state of Missouri that cost tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars. As part of Jim’s investigation, he filed a Sunshine request with the Secretary of State’s office seeking information into the number of people registered to vote through the Department of Social Services. He’s trying to confirm the data that Project Vote has published in their own case study (PDF).

I know that I haven’t written a whole lot on the blog lately. Let’s just say that life has made it so I haven’t had much desire to write anything. Well, that’s all starting to change. I’m now a Contributing Editor at RedState. So, I will be posting a lot of my stuff here, but in abridged fashion. I ask that you click on over to RedState to read and comment on those articles.
