Obama detractors on Left and Right have both taken pains to paint him as a closet Muslim. The willing mix up of “Obama” with “Osama” is just the most egregious example of a pattern that’s emerged over and over in this campaign - point out Obama’s differences in an effort to marginalize him and [...]

Seriously, I’m stunned. Stunned that I can still be appalled by anything GWB could do/say.
“President Bush is well aware that the banner should have been much more specific and said `mission accomplished’ for these sailors who are on this ship on their mission,” White House press secretary Dana Perino said Wednesday. “And we have [...]

Early returns from PA are in: Obama takes Philly, Hillary rocks it in squirrel-hunting country.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the continued political support of the “heartland” in terms of subsidies and trite mythologizing creates the seed for the kulturkampf and the root of everything that’s broken in modern America.
(I mainly just [...]

I’m listening to HRC on NPR this am.

Anyone seen the movie Election with Reese Witherspoon? Yeah, I’m gonna go there.  That’s pretty much how Hillary makes me feel right now.

If you’re someone who studied economics [like me!], then chances are, you’ve probably taken at least a class or two about the monetary crises of the ’70s.
For the rest of you … did you know?
Richard Nixon was responsible for the first major inflationary event of the ’70s? ‘Tis true. He took us off [...]

A new study purports to demonstrate that in many cases, wealthy individuals are incentivized to use public transit:
An interesting snippet:
Alternatively, if Wrich * F < C then some rich people will take public transportation. In this case, a four ring city can be one outcome. In the inner ring, the rich take public transportation. [...]

At this point, nearly 7 full years into the Bush regime, there’s hardly a malediction I can hurl in Monkey Boy’s direction that hasn’t been spoken before.  And yet somehow I’m still amazed at the idiocy of both Bush and the toadies with which he’s managed to surround himself.
Faced with the prospect of stagflation (that’s [...]

I made up my mind a long time ago that I didn’t like Mitt Romney. Still, you’d think the founder of Bain Capital would be above economic populism:
