Morning Briefing

For March 4, 2014

An Age of Seriousness Returns
Until Friday, we lived in an age where the United States government could, with a straight face, assert that the most serious national security issue of our time is global warming.

Until Friday, we lived in an age where men could be thought of as boys, living in their parents’ basement, on their parents’ insurance, tweeting angrily in support of two dudes and an it getting married.

Expelling the American Flag from School – Hecklers Win, Patriotism Loses
“Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”

Apparently the answer is now, “No.”  What King George’s rockets red glare and the British bombs bursting in air could not do, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has accomplished in one sweeping judicial opinion. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →


From The Union Arsenal: How Unions Outspent Business 2 to 1 In SeaTac’s Minimum Wage Battle
If you haven’t heard, the city of SeaTac, Washington (a city of roughly 27,000) is jacking up its minimum wage to $15 an hour.
