- QuestionDo you think the reason Obama hates Palin so much is that her name is different from his and she doesn't look like the other presidents on the dollar bills?
- MasonomicsTyler 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. Bryan is making the point that Hoover wasn't a free market guy in the least. What I found chilling was the analogy to what the Bush administration has done so far. When Bush leaves office he'll surely mentio […]
- McCain Did Anticipate Problems with Fannie and FreddieABC's Jake Tapper:'Two years ago, I warned that the oversight of Fannie and Freddie was terrible, that we were facing a crisis because of it, or certainly serious problems,' Sen.

- Brains (by Russell Roberts)Are our brains being affected by technology? Probably. Nicholas Carr worries:Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn’t going—so far as I can tell—but it’s changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can […]
- All Hail Al Gore!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. Nothing like an out of office politician for seeking the limelight, eh? He does make some interesting points: solar is indeed getting cheaper as economies of scale […]
- Me hate? Maybe…..I started this post before spring break but just got to complete it now. Sorry - I was looking forward to skiing in Colorado a little more than writting :-) Over the past two days, I’ve been having visitors from Delije.net. Delije are fans of the Crvena Zvjezda soccer team (translated Red Star). This was the referal that lead to Nidza’s comment: Oh, poo […]
- My question for ZawahriIn the glorious Qur'an, it says:"It is not for a believer to take a believer's life except by mistake; and he who kills a believer by mistake should free a slave who is a believer, and pay blood-money to the victim's family unless they forego it as an act of charity. If he belonged to a community hostile to you but was himself a believer, […]
- When Speaking Out Against The Inhumane Act of Forced Marriage……is viewed as more offensive than the act itself At least it seems that way. Schools fear that forced marriages poster campaign will upset parents Schools in areas feared to have high rates of forced marriage are refusing to display posters on the issue because they are too hard-hitting, according to a government report. Headteachers are unwilling to put up […]
