IRS Tax Revenues Falling

May 27, 2009
I'm on vacation this week, so blogging will be light.  GM will have to have its death throes largely without me. But I do want to point to two articles that point to a growing problem that the Obama administration has failed to address in a...

Just say no to F-Bombs

Mar 31, 2009
As in, using the word "fascist" to apply to the current, or indeed previous, administration.? David Henderson writes: President Obama has done something far more serious. He has already, in less than 100 days, moved the U.S. economy further towards ...

Atlas raised his eyebrows

Mar 4, 2009
Perhaps predictibly, Ayn Rand is making a comeback on the right, with Congressmen handing out her books, and loose talk of rich people "Going Galt".? I don't think that we will see a mass exodus of productive people to secret hideouts.? I look to A...

Hasan Investigated, Cleared

Nov 10, 2009
Well, that's a bit of an oopsie: The FBI and the military investigated contacts between an Army psychiatrist accused of last week's deadly shooting rampage at Fort Hood and a Yemen-based militant over the past year but concluded he didn't pose...

Tu Quoque

Nov 10, 2009
Did Obama bring criticism for the state of the job market upon himself?  After all, he promised his stimulus package was going to create or save millions of jobs. Eh, I'm underwhelmed.  Bush made similar claims about the powers of his tax cuts. ...

Blaming the President for Unemployment

Nov 9, 2009
I often enjoy Charles Blow's By the Numbers blog at the New York Times, but I think this op-ed from last Friday was a little over the top: Right now," "immediate economic emergency," "requires urgent action," "can't wait." Wow! He gave the impression...

The Health of the Nation

Nov 9, 2009
