Capitalism’s central premise of lowering the cost of goods through competition and innovation is amazingly close to achieving its penultimate goal, which kind of makes you wonder why the left is so much against free markets.

It doesn’t solve anything. In fact, it makes things worse – it just sounds nice.
If the left really wanted rail to take off again here in the U.S. they would reverse all of the damage they did by nationalizing passenger rail travel with Amtrak. Even then, to expect that a country as geographically large as ours will ever move passengers significantly across country by rail (without warm superconductors) is just crazy.
All that money that the U.S. lent out to our banks? The U.S. may not allow them to pay it back. Unlike what Gateway Pundit is reporting, that makes them (proportionate to the price) just as much a burden to U.S. taxpayers and risk to our economy as the stimulus – which is bad enough.
This comic from 1934 seems amazingly apt to the current situation.
The Obama administration is simply “following very closely” as an American journalist is imprisoned in Iran.
I’m glad they work so hard to stand up for our freedoms and rights.
Jules Crittendon has many documents and first hand accounts of the event.
Apparently the Tea party movement is all about hating the black man.
Meanwhile, protesting taxes is despicable and shameful, but if you’re not one of the little people, you don’t need to concern yourself with paying them.
Being sent by several senators. They’re asking where these claims came from, beyond paranoid delusions of the left.
(And btw, the one non-negotiable in a pet or a mistress for the Duke of Chappaquidick is swimmability; who says we can’t learn from our past mistakes?)
Ouch.
CNN’s Susan Roesgen doesn’t report situations she doesn’t politically agree with, she debates and condemns them!
This is a form factor I could appreciate. I would put it in the opposite pocket from my foldable machine gun.
So I went down to the Boston Tea Party protest today, and had a fun time. I went down with a stack of FairTax postcards, handed all of those out, met up with the official Massachusetts FairTax people, got more postcards, and handed out that stack as well. The people at the protest were certainly pretty open to any ideas for reform and change of our current tax code and spending habits, and the Fairtax is (I think) just about the best idea out there. Anyhow, I put up the photos on my flickr page. View full article »
A court just ruled that Murtha can’t be sued for slandering our troops so horribly, “because he was acting in his official role as a lawmaker when he made the comments to reporters.” That sounds an awful lot like lawmakers expecting to be above the law solely because of their status as politicians.
According to the DHS. The hypocrisy of the left is astounding.
Anyhow, I attended the Boston tea party protest today and had a ton of fun. I have a lot of pictures and I’ll summarize the day’s activities in a bit.
Excellent. I look forward to it. I’ve blogged before that I think a pykrete structure could make a good seastead. I’m glad to see someone checking this idea out.
