The Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has announced it will take the Cornish Pasty Association’s (CPA) application for Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) to Brussels.

This is what America would become if we took the advice of people like AlGore, Barack Obama, and John Kerry to become more like Europe. They reason they say that (although they would never admit it), is because Europe has a layer of government twenty miles thick (and growing) on its back — and that’s the environment in which Overclass fascists like them thrive.

Police said it did not appear that the wire was intended as a trap but was designed to act as a barrier to deter people from entering private land.

But Ryan’s stepfather condemned whoever attached the wire to the trees.

A lawyer who fervently contested the result of the 2000 presidential election and started an organization advocating voter reform used it to hide profits from another venture, the police say: a strip club that offered more than dancing.

According to the police, Mr. Posner, a 52-year-old tax lawyer, funneled the club’s money to an account for Voter March, the grass-roots demonstration organization he started shortly after the 2000 election that has been largely inactive since 2004. He deposited money into several other accounts, the police said, adding that the amounts were low enough to avoid raising a red flag at the Internal Revenue Service.

Reform — Yes we can!

My guess is that the biggest change in the Democratic Party as a result of the influx of the urban affluent comes from more of a faux concern for poor people. Noblesse oblige impels the Democratic Party upper class to support more health care and educational spending for the poor. But on wages the Democratic upper class sees the poor as domestic servants. Maids, nannies, yard workers, and other servants should be cheap. Prices at the local dry cleaner should be low.

To study hard is to act Asian, to betray La Raza. If Mexican students tried to beat the Chinese at their own game, and failed, well, that would just prove the Chinese are smarter. So it’s better for Mexican racial self-esteem to make sure nobody even tries, to proclaim that studying is just something Asians high school students do because they’re, uh, no good at tagging and getting pregnant.

This works with reasonable people, for only for so long. The reasonable people on both sides end up in the tumbrel. Not the first wave, or the second, but they get around to them eventually.

Imagine a society so illiberal that columnists felt no qualms about demanding government legislation to force us to change our behaviour; where the public was continually implored to feel guilty about everything from driving to shopping – and where those who refused to feel guilty were said to be suffering from a “psychological” disorder or some other species of mental illness“.

Surely no one would put up with such a society? Yet today, all of the above things are happening – under what we might call the tyranny of environmentalism – and people are putting up with it.

I was startled to realize that stock photo and video purveyors actually create material in anticipation of demand. (I’d somehow failed to consider that stock pictures could be made, not just found.) These suppliers of the world’s commercial imagery are making bets on what life will look and feel like in the near future. Which made me wonder: What else, besides an ongoing technological dystopia, do they imagine waiting ahead?

While checking in on a recent Northwest Airlines flight I was surprised to see they’re offering yet another level of upgrade.  Despite my stated preference for an aisle seat I somehow got booked into a center one on a 4-hour flight.  It’s one thing if none are available, but as I checked in I saw loads of open aisle seats on this particular flight and all of them were marked with “$25 Upgrade” icons.  That’s right.  The seat just to the left of my center seat is available for an additional $25 fee.  I wondered why this was the one leg of my journey where I couldn’t make a seat selection during the website reservation process.  Now I know why.
