See ya’ Sen. Hagel!

Chuck Hagel ends his political career, retiring from the Senate and not running for President.

“Sen. Chuck Hagel is set to announce Monday that he is retiring from the Senate and that he won’t join the race for the White House in 2008, the Omaha World-Herald newspaper reported on its Web site Friday night, citing “people close” to the Republican from Nebraska.”

Mr. P and Trajan, check this out! Is there where Bin Laden got the idea to die his fake beard?

Also, Umar deleted that post from his anti-American blog. He said, get this, somebody hacked into it! What a dork. He needs a haircut and shave.

Hagel’s retirement opens the door for Attorney General Jon Bruning to take the seat (like he wasn’t already). Unlike Hagel, he fully supports the global war on terror.

Hagel was alright. Besides being such a loud asshole against the war in the Iraq, he was pretty conservative.

Well, looks like you’ll have to vote for a Republican now, not a Repub.

Hagel was getting a bit delusional in his old age, it’s good for his health and that of the country that he retiring.

  Tyler Cowen recently gave a talk on what is distinctive about George Mason economics. It was nicely summarized by Arnold Kling (who got the whole thing started with this superb essay) then attacked by Pete Boettke for giving insufficient respect to GMU’s Austrian roots. I think Tyler and Pete both made the mistake of describing their own views of economics a […]
- Bryan and Herbert (by Russell Roberts)
  Bryan Caplan lists the 21 things Herbert Hoover mentioned in a 1932 speech just before the election that Hoover claimed help save the economy.

When Bush leaves office he'll surely mentio […]

  Al Gore gave a little speech which you can read and watch here. He's essentially calling for a Manhattan Project, an Apollo, to move the entire US economy away from a dependence upon carbon.
