There is no need for an FCC. The most important thing you can do for liberty in this society is start dismantling and putting these bureaucratic agencies out of business." -Steyn

• DT: City Road Plan Gives Green Light to Cyclists

"Three bureaucrats -- unaccountable, you can't go to any polling station and vote them out -- have decided that what this country needs is federal regulation of the internet." -Steyn

• AP: Analysis: A Political Rebound, but Can it Hold?

"Once you set up a bureaucracy to deal with a certain problem, even if the problem goes away the bureaucracy remains and you will have that for all time." -Steyn

• WT: Neutrality on Net, but Not in Sphere of Politics
• FOX: FCC to Vote on Internet Regulation Plan Despite Economic Warnings

"If the FCC wants to have a fight on this, then we should have a showdown. The issue is not the internet. The internet works fine. The FCC doesn't work fine. It's the FCC that needs to justify itself, not the internet, which is one of the great success stories of the modern age." -Steyn

• NYT: With Obama Signature, 'Don’t Ask' Is Repealed

"When a man accepts the bureaucracy's jurisdiction over his bladder he is not a citizen, but a subject, and that lesson should have been settled in 1776. That is why Obamacare is fundamentally incompatible with the American idea." -Steyn



• USAToday: Al Qaeda Threat Involving Hotels Buffets 'Credible,' Report Says
• NC: Napolitano ‘Misspoke’ about Working 364 Days a Year, DHS Says
• ABC: Obama's Top Intel Official Stonewalls, Then Forced to Admit Ignorance of London Terror Arrests

"We've learned all the wrong lessons from 9/11. All the people who followed the bureaucratic rules on 9/11 died, because the terrorists didn't fit into the 1970's rules of what to do with hijackers." -Mark Steyn
