"Remember Peter and the Wolf? At the end of Sergei Prokofiev's classic musical fairy tale, Peter captures the wolf and takes it to the zoo in a triumphant procession. Environists don't like that. So now, there is a new recording of Peter and the Wolf, renamed WolfTracks. In the re-write, narrated by ex-President Bill Clinton and actress Sophia Loren, Peter is sorry that he caught the wolf. 'Forgetting his triumph, Peter thought instead of fallen trees, parched meadows, choked streams, and of each and every wolf struggling for survival,' Clinton narrates. 'The time has come to leave wolves in peace.' So an enlightened Peter releases the wolf. In this politically-correct version, the wolf doesn't attempt to attack him, of course; it howls gratefully."

"Eight years ago the Republican Congress forced the Clinton Administration to drink political hemlock by repealing the national 55 MPH speed limit. A chief architect of the war on freedom, Ralph Nader, then predicted 6,400 additional highway deaths and spewed that 'History will never forgive Congress for this assault on the sanctity of human life.' Today, the U.S. Department of Transportation reports the lowest injury rate on the highways EVER recorded. CATO Institute's Stephen Moore adds that repeal of the 55 MPH law saves between $2 and $5 billion each year, because millions of Americans are wasting less time sitting in their cars."

"Presently-illegal 'assault weapons' will soon become legal again unless Congress acts.
