Tech at Night: Google, NLRB, FCC, Net Neutrality, Patents
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | March 8th at 12:07 AM |
Much to cover, and less time to cover it in! So many important things I don’t even know what to hit first. So, I’ll be biased and hit what I found out about from RedState. Google and the NLRB teamed up to promote unionization, with Google providing free ad space. That’s a problem for three reasons. First, the NLRB is supposed to be the impartial | Read More »

Governor Rick Perry (R-TX) at CPAC: Not Happy With The EPA, The Feds, Or The Media
By: Melissa Clouthier (Diary) | February 14th at 04:25 PM |
Governor Rick Perry is fed up. He sat with me Friday at CPAC shortly before speaking, where he gave a red-meat speech. The governor’s speaking placement between other presidential contenders raised some question about whether he really is going to run for President. His staff continue to insist he’s content to head the Republican Governors Association and lead Texas. I asked Governor Perry about the | Read More »
Banning abortion the EPA way!
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | February 2nd at 03:30 PM |
Thomas Sowell has an article out today about the latest incidence of mission creep from the EPA. To summarize: the EPA has wide discretion when it comes to oil spills. Milk contains oil. Therefore, the EPA has wide discretion over milk spills, too – which includes requiring ‘emergency plans’ and ‘first responders’ and ‘extra storage tanks’ from dairy farmers in order to handle such life- | Read More »
Tech at Night: FCC vs the Republicans
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | January 8th at 03:30 AM |
Ah, 1am. I spent a few hours this evening working on some math, and now suddenly it’s the middle of the night. So as I say all too often in this space, I’m going to make it quick. While Fred Upton and his committee arrangements are so important to our coming fights against the EPA, the FCC, and of course the coming Obamacare apparatus, it’s | Read More »

Tech at Night: The New Year Begins
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | January 4th at 12:30 AM |
The New Year has started, and the Republicans are soon to start acting. Conservatives were mixed in reacting to Fred Upton’s words over the weekend. Some think he’s not tough enough when it comes to rolling back big government when it comes to the FCC, the EPA, and of course Obamacare. But I’m hopeful about him because he’s struck me as coming into his Chairmanship | Read More »
Tech at Night: EPA, FCC, Fred Upton, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Tor
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | December 31st at 11:00 PM |
Some people stay up late on December 31. I don’t intend to, Friday and New Year’s Eve or not. Boring, yes, I know. But until I switch to decaf coffee my sleeping habits are going to be a wreck, so I’ll just have to ride it out. And that means I want to get going right away with tonight’s stories. Republicans are getting very loud | Read More »

Tech at Night: ALA, Wikipedia, Astroturf, Net Neutrality [updated]
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | December 30th at 01:00 AM |
Earlier this week I mentioned a story at Safe Libraries exposing American Library Association astroturf promoting the radical Free Press agenda on Net Neutrality. Now, the ALA does not come into this debate with clean hands. The ALA has taken stands before, notably to protect terrorists from being caught by the FBI. But now they’re getting aggressive. On the heels of this story about ALA | Read More »

Tech at Night: ADA on the Internet, Net Neutrality
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 18th at 03:00 AM |
Good evening. I don’t know how I managed to do a Tech at Night on Friday night. Just barely I guess. Because I’ve been sick from Friday night on, though I was mostly alright today. And so we’re back in business. And we’ll start with a note on more Internet control that the Barack Obama administration is mulling. Yes, again, the content of webpages is | Read More »

Obama Finds ‘Strange New Respect’ For Natural Gas
By: Steve Maley (Diary) | November 6th at 12:00 PM |
The President’s post-election remarks contained something of an “olive branch” to Congressional Republicans. It came in the form of a broad hint that the Administration might backpedal on its opposition to natural gas development. Obama’s Enthusiasm for Gas Drilling Raises Eyebrows “We’ve got, I think, broad agreement that we’ve got terrific natural gas resources in this country,” Obama said when he was pressed for issues | Read More »

Obama’s EPA to Regulate Hunters and Fisherman
By: Brian Darling (Diary) | August 27th at 05:00 PM |
The Obama Administration is considering using the vast power of the federal government to ban the sale of certain types of ammunition. This administrative ban would increase cost for hunters and fisherman dramatically. If implemented, this ban would go against the will of the American people. Furthermore, this action is an inappropriate use of federal power. U.S. News and World Report posted a story today indicating that President Obama’s Environmental Protection | Read More »

The EPA, Starring In James Cameron’s ‘The Oil Spill’
By: Lori Ziganto (Diary) | June 1st at 08:00 PM |
What to do when you are totally inept and in way over your heads? Call in Hollywood and turn a disaster into a disaster film! At least, that’s what our illustrious federal government does now, under the king of all things scripted and illusionary, President Obama. Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse than Shakira interjecting herself in Arizona’s illegal immigration policy, the feds | Read More »
EPA’s Lisa Jackson admits responsibility to Gulf…
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | May 26th at 12:30 PM |
…by belatedly canceling a Democratic fundraising appearance: Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson has canceled her appearance at a Democrat fundraiser hours after Politico published a story detailing that engagement. Jackson was scheduled to appear at a breakfast in Manhattan Thursday to benefit the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. An EPA spokesman noted that the appearance was scheduled before the oil spill occurred.
EPA head to fundraise for DSCC while oil spreads.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | May 25th at 06:00 PM |
Priorities, folks: priorities. Apparently Lisa Jackson figures that if Interior Dept CoS Tom Strickland could go white-water rafting while the oil spread, she can go raise money for the Democrats: As the Obama administration struggles to contain the massive oil spill threatening the Louisiana coast, one of its top environmental officials will be the featured attraction at a fundraiser for Senate Democrats next week in | Read More »
Our EPA: Keeping the Environment Safe for … Mayflies?!
By: Steve Maley (Diary) | September 7th at 11:30 AM |
Even though Iron Eyes Cody, the Crying Indian, was a fake, he had a point: America in the 60′s had become a nasty place. You used to see people throw all kinds of litter out of their cars; nowadays the only socially-acceptable forms of automotive litter are cigarette butts and dirty diapers. No longer do babbling brooks foam from phosphates. Emissions from cars and coal | Read More »
