Because alcohol is good for your joints, cholesterol, pancreas, and stress reduction.

This story caught my eye this morning. It fits in nicely with my article about ugly, aggressively-styled cars and my blog post about totalitarian cops. The new Charger is just one of many of DaimlerChrysler’s ugly, boxy, aggressive-looking yahoo-mobiles. As the cops have become more of a show of force, their cars get more aggressive [...]

Lew Rockwell links to this article, with a headline that says, “Get a job.” Ahem. Whatever questions the study answers, the better question is: why do men want to stay home to nurture children full-time, and why do their women want to support them? Every case I’ve ever known personally has been a case of [...]

Crap like this. These people piss me off. I was the one who initially blogged on the Paul Krugman comments about Ron Paul and his opposition to Sarbanes-Oxley. The next day, this guy, who calls himself a “commentator and analyst,” blogs the same thing on his own blog, and parallels exactly what I said while [...]

He hilariously accuses the Liberty Dollar folks of “undermining the value of American currency.” Shrieking Guy is amazed that Amercians would dare believe that the government’s money is fake and thus want to substitute gold or silver. [...]

Today it was announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had a material weakness in the internal controls over its financial reporting. The SEC avoided a big fat “E” last year via its remediation of internal control problems, but this year the SEC’s material weaknesses included control deficiencies related to its accounts receivable balances, [...]

More on the Fannie Mae situation. During a conference call with analysts, Fannie’s management dodged and danced and lied their way around inquiries about Fannie’s pool of delinquent mortgages and its recent accounting switch regarding the disclosure of bad loans. Finally, its stock drops.
