The End of Healthcare As We Know It (or, at all)
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009If the Left has its way, many or most of the recent advances in medicine will be destroyed. Hype? I’d like to think so, but I’m probably understating it. More likely, our healthcare system will be utterly destroyed, turned into something more akin to the DMV or–horrors of horrors–the Canadian or British healthcare systems. Read [...]
No, Boing Boing, It’s Not Testosterone That Caused the Financial Crisis
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008Via Boing Boing, here’s a prime example of where a lack of valid principles creates all sorts of intellectual havoc: Forget behavioral economics — the Naked Scientists science podcast interviews a scientist who is investigating the hormonal basis for bubbles and crashes. It’s endocrinal economics! John – We found that the traders, if they had [...]
Obama Tells Kids to School Their Parents
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008Little Green Footballs is offended by Obama’s enlisting children to talk their parents into voting for him. I submit that while this is certainly disturbing, it’s just a very small example of the kind of state encroachment on parental authority that will become epidemic in an Obama Presidency. After all, I have no doubt that [...]

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008And the beat goes on… Another government power grab in the wake of the financial crisis: A recommendation to shake up the nation’s 401(k) system is gaining traction as workers and retirees gape in horror at their investment account balances. “Four weeks ago this plan didn’t have a chance,” conceded its author, Teresa Ghilarducci. Suddenly, [...]

To me, it’s clear that he was, particularly when this one audio clip is compared to [...]
Obama Turns Unmitigated Gall into an Art Form
Monday, October 27th, 2008In what must be one of his most self-contradictory statements so far, Obama said in a stump speech in Ohio: Looking ahead to closing his case against John McCain in Ohio, Barack Obama argues that voters there have a chance to reject “politics that would divide a nation just to win an election.” That’s an utterly remarkable statement, coming [...]
Obama Video – It Speaks for Itself
Sunday, October 26th, 2008Set aside the (completely unnecessary) visual hyperbole of the site, and let Obama’s and the Left’s words speak for them. This is some chilling stuff. It’s all there. Bill Ayers. ACORN (not specifically about Obama, but related). Fannie Mae. Freddie Mac. Here are a few to get you started: Obama on “Redistribution of Wealth” Obama [...]
