Clearing the Browser Tabs – Radtke for Senate Saturday Edition
I’ve only started to hear about Jamie Radtke, but I think we’ll all hear a lot more from her over the next year. She’s running for the Senate in Florida Virginia and her first task, no small one by any means, will be to knock off George Allen in the Republican Primary. Radtke is a Tea Partier who has spent some time doing the hard grassroots and has made a fair name for herself in the local political scene. She’s also a solid budget-cutting conservative as you’ll see when you read this profile on her at National Review Online. She’s also not afraid to throw a hard elbow at Harry Reid either.
I don’t know how she’ll fare in the primary, but if Allen doesn’t take her seriously (which is very likely), he’s going to find himself on the bad end of another election.

- I don’t know if Mitch Daniels will run for President or not, but I do know that when he signs the recently-passed bill to deny abortion mills like Planned Parenthood state government money, the “truce” nonsense about him should fade to a whisper.
- Were I Paul Ryan, I’d be insulted that the left sent its B-team against him. I think all the help they’ve gotten from the MSM has made them lazy.
- Dan Mitchell has an interesting theory for why progressives hate rich people so much.
- I admit, I was not as turned off by the Royal wedding as some. If nothing else, I love the pageantry of the event and, yes, even the silly hats. I find the whole thing endearing, even if I think there might have been a bit of one-upsmanship at work.

Soros argues that markets are inherently unstable, because the participants have imperfect knowledge. Let's grant that supposition for the sake of argument. How does it make sense to infer that government regulators will be able to drive the market toward stability…unless they somehow have the perfect knowledge that no other participant possesses?
The core principle, more or less, of progressive economic theory is that the experts do have far more knowledge than anyone else, enough to guide a complex economy reliably. In theory, that’s a fine belief, but it never quite works out that way in application.
I think what no one realizes is that the Royal Wedding is EXACTLY the same thing as the NFL Draft: http://chuckhansen.com/?p=614
