They feared the free-market ideas prevalent in Eastern Europe could threaten their 35-hour workweeks, […]

“When the federal assault-weapons ban expired last September, its fans claimed that gun crimes and police killings would surge. Sarah Brady, one of the nation’s leading gun-control advocates, warned, ‘Our streets are going to be filled with AK-47s and Uzis.’ Well, over eight months have gone by, and the only casualty has been gun-controllers’ […]

For some reason we’re supposed to be surprised that the tobacco companies actually actively crafted their products to 52% of the population.
