Season 9, Episode 8 - economist Thomas Sowell, Denver suing cigarette manufacturers, California nominee offering free electric, arrested for purchasing a bat, auto-feeders for animals, and much more!

Our quote of the week is once again from economist Thomas Sowell, about Socialists and their lack of interest in how wealth is created. In our stupidest thing I’ve heard all week, we have 3 nominees. You pick the winner: Our first nominee is the City of Denver, Colorado, which is suing cigarette manufacturers for the non-biodegradable litter their filtered cigarettes create when smokers illegally throw them onto the streets in that city. The second nominee concerns a new California regulation that will limit the types of tires you can buy in the state. Our 3rd nominee is a candidate for governor of California who promises voters 2 hours of free electricity every day if they elect him. We’ll tell you about the sentence a California judge gave to a man who was convicted of shooting at and hitting an LAPD helicopter with 2 officers on board We’ll tell you about a new voting law in Minnesota that allows one registered voter to show up at a polling place with up to 8 people who have no ID that he claims are his friends and/or family members, and how, on his word alone, they can register and vote in any election in that state that same day. We’ll tell you about a man in the UK who was arrested for simply buying a baseball bat. We’ll play a clip from a representative of the Polish government explaining Poland’s immigration policy. If you use one to feed your cat while you go away for the weekend, we’ll tell you how an electronic pet feeder can wind up starving your cat. Time permitting, we’ll tell you about a new patent recently awarded to Wal-Mart for a shopping cart with additional monitoring capabilities. Our taxpayer relief shot segment this week is from Utah, where two armed customers shot and killed a third angry customer who had left and then returned to the store armed with a shotgun.
