Nanny of the Month (Feb 2011): Would-Be Brothel Banner Sen. Harry Reid!
Last month’s Nanny tackled the “scourge” of distracted walking, and this month’s runners-up have their sights set on banning big-leaguers from dipping and toddlers from talking.
But top dishonors go to the nanny from Nevada who’s picking a fight with prostitutes.
Presenting Reason.tv’s Nanny of the Month for February 2011: Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)!

To Surly, With Love: Are Teachers Overpaid?
Public school teachers are at the forefront of protests against state budget cuts and restrictions on collective bargaining rights in Wisconsin, New Jersey, Ohio, and elsewhere.
Teachers have a lot to lose. According to Department of Education statistics, in 2007-2008 (the latest year available), full-time public school teachers across the country made an average of $53,230 in [...]

Raising the Debt Limit: It Just Makes Sense. Not.
Some say the world will end in fire and some say in ice.
But in Washington, a lot of people say it will end if we don’t continually raise the debt ceiling.
The statutory debt limit, or debt ceiling, represents the maximum amount of debt the federal government can carry at any given time. The limit was [...]

Confession: We Staged the Entire Union Protest in Wisconsin. All of It
I guess it was only a matter of time, but I’m still a little surprised at how quickly the left connected the dots. Always on guard against elaborate right-wing conspiracies, the brain trust over at Crooks and Liars needed just a few hours to uncover the truth: that Breitbart organized the elaborate sting featuring actors [...]

OBAMA: Serendipity. Egypt couldn’t have blown up at a better time. Judge Vinson’s ruling on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act got just a paragraph on A18.

Obama’s State of the Union: Still Unfocused on Jobs
During Tuesday’s State of the Union address President Obama mentioned the word “jobs” 31 times, topping last year’s tally by two. Back then he promised to make jobs his “number-one focus in 2010″ and then promptly focused on passing ObamaCare, regulating Wall Street, slapping a moratorium on drilling for oil in [...]

iPhone and oBama: Two Expensive New Models (Reason.tv SOTU response!)
President Obama spent last year’s State of the Union address celebrating spending programs past (hooray, stimulus!) and proposing new budget-busters. The shellacking Democrats took during the 2010 midterm elections was supposed to change all that, but at Tuesday night’s SOTU Obama reverted to his “throw-money-at-every-conceivable-problem” self.
Yes he included some proposals to [...]
