"Lohan sues eTrade for $100M over ad with ‘milkaholic’ Lindsay."

This is my favorite e-Trade commercial yet, and it in no way made me think of Lindsay Lohan:

For the record, eTrade is denying the allegations.

True hard-core libertarians want damn near everything privatized, including our public schools:

The Washington Post ran an incisive op-ed yesterday by Kelly Amis and Joseph Robert on the DC voucher program. As they noted, Sen. Joseph Lieberman is calling on the Senate to restore funding for the program which was terminated on a nearly party-line vote by Congress last December.

A few Democrats (Dianne Feinstein and Robert Byrd) have joined with Lieberman, but the rest of the party has apparently decided that producing better educational outcomes for poor kids at one quarter the cost of public schooling is not politically advantageous.

I couldn't help but notice that last link. Better education for 1/4 the price? Sounds awesome! If that was the case, you'd think politicians would be all over that.

But they aren't.

It's not hard to figure out why. If you actually read the link, the article argues that the voucher program was cheaper than public schools, but the case is not made (or even addressed!) for voucher education being better.

I have to wonder why not?
