I recently reported about an exciting new project in Honduras, which would carve out a small part of the country and allow a private developer to build a city there -- one with a free market government and strong private property rights. (Video here.)

Unfortunately, the Honduran Supreme Court struck down that law this week... continue reading »

Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin is in trouble again, this time for saying there are doctors "giving abortions to women who are not actually pregnant."

The journalists reporting on that "gaffe" just assume - without presenting evidence - that Akin is wrong.

"Is it Akin, or is it The Onion?" a US News writer wonders... continue reading »

We've got a Special Correspondent down in Tampa for the convention. "Kennedy" used to be an MTV VJ. Here is her guest post on my blog:... continue reading »

In my syndicated column this week, I touch on why I feel threatened by both political parties.

I'm a libertarian in part because I see a false choice offered by the political left and right: government control of the economy -- or government control of our personal lives... continue reading »

Listening to the liberal media, you'd think the era of big government is finally over. After all, Obama signed off on deal that includes: "New massive cuts" ... "severe spending cuts" ... "draconian and unnecessary budget cuts"... continue reading »

Of all the Republican Presidential Candidates, Gallup says Herman Cain has the highest "positive intensity score." That means voters who know him - like him.

That's a good thing, and I like Cain because he has an impressive record in the business world. He turned around the failing Godfather's Pizza. Unlike most politicians, he understands business, and the damage regulation does... continue reading »

On my show tonight at 10pm, I host a debate between Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain and President Obama.

Ok, it's not actually President Obama. I invited Obama impersonator Reggie Brown to fight with Mr. Cain. I did the same thing with candidates Ron Paul and Gary Johnson. But various Stossel-haters, like my stalkers at Media Matters, complained. Here is one of the comments on that site:... continue reading »

Many are outraged that a jury found Casey Anthony "not guilty". An online petition has already gathered 650,000 signatures calling for a new law - "Caylee's Law" - that would make it a criminal offense to fail to report one's own missing or dead child to law enforcement within 24 hours (as Anthony failed to do.)... continue reading »

Political "Independents" are becoming more powerful in American politics.

As I note in my syndicated column this week, Reason editors Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch have a new book out in which they argue that we need independence not just in politics but from politics... continue reading »

I reported earlier this year about a cool new technology: cars that drive themselves. Google already designed one, and it drove more than a thousand miles on public roads using just a computer chip and a sensor to detect other cars. It only crashed once, and in that case it was rear-ended while it was stopped at a red light.
