ASI Fellow and independent energy analyst Nigel Hawkins was on Radio Five on Tuesday night, discussing demands for a windfall tax on energy companies. He made a series of good points against the idea:
Shadow Health Secretary Andrew Lansley unveiled his public health agenda at an event with centre-right think-tank Reform this morning. Key amongst his proposals was introducing a separate budget for public health, more evidence-based practice and the appointment of local directors of public health.

According to the excellent Cato Institute blog, school choice is becoming a politically non-partisan issue in the US. I am not sure this is yet the case, but it definitely should be. It is certainly looking to be true over here – shown by the fact [...]

I found that quote on the St. Louis Public Schools’ website, in the magnet schools brochure. The brochure lauds magnets for [...]
Figures from the U.S. Census Bureau were released yesterday, leaving us with good news and bad news. First, the good news: Across America, median household incomes rose by 1.3 percent between 2006 and 2007, creating a median income of $50,740. The great state of Missouri saw a 1-percent increase, [...]
If Saturday Night Live (SNL) had written the following youtube clip as a skit, the national media would have a field day attacking it. The fact that this appeared on CNN is astounding. I’ll simply let folks watch and make up their own minds, but the multiple levels of irony [...]
