Riding Mass Transit Is Like Inviting 20 Random Hitchhikers Into Your Car
A brawl broke out on an F train in Greenwich Village when a woman was smacked in the face and knocked down by a man she was arguing with — and four people were cuffed following the melee, cops said.
We Don’t Need No Stinking Giant Fans
Titled “October, 2014, Ontario’s breath-taking, record-breaking month for electricity bills,” Parker and Luft reveal that last month, Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberal government paid $1 billion more for electricity than the market value of that power.
Put another way, the so-called “Global Adjustment” in Ontario – the difference between the market value of electricity and what it actually cost to produce – topped $1 billion, for the first time, ever.
For the average Ontario household, Parker and Luft note, that will mean an extra charge of about $30 on November’s hydro bill alone, although it won’t appear as a separate item on many residential hydro bills because the Global Adjustment is incorporated into “time of use” rates.
Lest We Forget
Sowell on Obama
People who are increasingly questioning Barack Obama’s competence are continuing to ignore the alternative possibility that his fundamental values and imperatives are different from theirs. You cannot tell whether someone is failing or succeeding without knowing what they are trying to do.

The above is one of these.
