The Cato Institute’s Dan Mitchell explains the power of the private sector. It turns out that the private sector can build roads.

Mise-en-Place
The French phrase mise-en-place, or “put in place,” used in professional kitchens, refers to organizing and arranging the ingredients that a chef will need to prepare the menu items during a shift.

VIDEO: Remembering James Brown
From NPR: Depending on whom you talked to, it was either the “Teenage Awards Music International” or “Teen Age Music International.” An early precursor to today’s youth-centric awards shows, the general idea on that night back in October 1964 was to take teen-oriented music from near and far, throw it all together and see what […]
