The good news continues to roll in.

Before showing you the next piece of news it is necessary to read this piece of wisdom from economist Milton Friedman:

Will we read next that government control of prices has created a shortage of sand in the Sahara?

Buckley Jr. (he established National Review) in a documentary he made in 1970, “Cruising Speed”, during which he relayed a joke castigating communism:
