Obama supporters at wikipedia have repeatedly deleted certain information from wikipedia’s Solyndra article. This information has been added to the article multiple times, but it always get erased. Editors who continue to add these things to the article get accused of “edit warring,” and if they continue to put the information into the article, they get blocked from editing for 24 hours. If they continue adding the information after their 24 hour block expires, they get blocked for a week, then they get topic banned from editing the Solyndra article for three months, and then they get banned, permanently, from editing any of wikipedia. If they then create a new account, they get accused of “sock puppeting,” and the new account gets permanently banned. (more…)

I was 11 years old when our family first got cable TV in the summer of 1982, and I remember watching MTV as it celebrated its one year anniversary a few weeks later. I consider the music of the early 1980s to be some of the best music ever made, and I think a lot of that has to do with the new wave influence that was so pervasive at the time, combined with a strong pop sensibility, and just so many creative artists who were around at the time.

Dolores Huerta has praised Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan communist dictator who has repeatedly used the military to seize food from private owners, had butchers arrested, held at a military base, and strip searched for running out of beef, shut down a TV station that criticized him, and placed a “luxury tax” on toilet paper. After Chavez seized farmland from farmers, he stated, “The land is not private. It is the property of the state.” Chavez has seized many supermarkets from their owners, and under government ownership, the shelves in these supermarkets are often empty. Chavez’s mismanagement of the nationalized oil industry is so severe that the country has actually had to import gasoline, despite having some of the hugest oil reserves in the world. Chavez’s takeovers have also caused severe damage to the steel industry, the cement industry, the construction industry, the telephone industry, and the electric industry. Chavez has also caused a brain drain, with many of the most intelligent and well educated people fleeing the country.
President Obama just gave her the Medal of Freedom, the highest honor that can be given to a civilian. (more…)

Issue 1: Military interventionism
