San Jose Paper's Howler: Jerry Brown Is Notoriously Frugal
Jerry Brown is frugal — "notoriously" so — in making productive resources of people who want to work available to California's employers. No wonder Dr. Merrill Matthews at the Institute for Policy Innovation is so pleased for his home state of Texas today.
Obamacare Turns Six Years Old, Still Gets A Big Fat F
The Affordable Care Act has turned six and not one of President Obama’s vaunted promises has come true—not one.
SCOTUS Nominee A Predictable Liberal
What the president was subtly alluding to in his carefully worded statement is that Garland is a moderate liberal, not an ideologue, and thus hinting at the possibility that Garland just might be a liberal “swing vote.” That’s a justice who occasionally crosses over to vote with the opposing ideological side. Don’t hold your breath.
Price of Admission
Howard’s president, Dr. Wayne A.I. Frederick, and the board want to sell the spectrum used by WHUT. There has been increasing demand for these invisible waves by cable and mobile phone providers.

Creative Content Hits Back at Internet Australia on Internet Piracy, Site Blocking
Creative Content Australia Executive Director Lori Flekser cites Tom Giovanetti, who said: “Patronising suggestions that creators should 'innovate' away their problems is an unhelpful contribution adding nothing to discourse about solutions to piracy… Content owners ARE innovating.

Donald Trump Faces The Real Possibility Of A Brokered Convention, Kasich Thinks He'll Get the Nod Over His Rival
If the business tycoon gets the most votes and delegates out of all Republican presidential candidates, he may still get stripped off the possible nomination by way of a brokered convention. “The notion that you go in with a plurality, therefore you deserve the nomination is just flat wrong,” said Merrill Matthews, IPI resident scholar.
History Suggests Brokered Convention Will Doom Donald Trump
Trump insists that the convention will have to pick him if he has more delegates than any other hopeful but short of the 1,237 majority needed to win on the first ballot. “The notion that you go in with a plurality, therefore you deserve the nomination is just flat wrong,” said Merrill Matthews, resident scholar at the Dallas-based think tank Institute for Policy Innovation.
