Thanks to Tim Swanson on the Mises blog for posting one of the funniest and most telling videos I have ever seen. This is a brilliant assembly of video from the (3) presidential debates that shows how the candidates repeated the same garbage, over and over and over. The intro and ending are hysterical. Get [...]

GM CEO Wagoner is lined up at the trough and he’ll get his money. How funny is it that two disastrously-run companies that can’t sell their products are wanting to merge? Meanwhile, they both face troublesome real estate problems. General Motors can’t unload the Renaissance Center, and then there’s the Chrysler building. This thing is [...]

What a story of stupidity for the formerly almost-bankrupt egomaniac. Mr. Trump’s challenges highlight the dangers of building very tall buildings. Because they take years to build, markets can change and leave developers in dire situations. In fact, very few supertall skyscrapers have been profitable for their original developers.

Such a thing would be so convoluted and to carry it off would involve massive government oversight. It would be great for federal job employment.

The air you breathe, the water you drink, the size of your toilet tank, the water pressure in your shower, the words [...]

I’ll start off by quoting his opener: A source of mild entertainment amid the financial carnage has been watching libertarians scurrying to explain how the global financial crisis is the result of too much government intervention [...]

My latest article is up at LewRockwell.com: Square Pegs, Round Holes. A much longer version of the blog post.

My article from last week, Warren Buffett, Government Propagandist, drew more emails than anything I can recall in recent times. There were 200+ favorable, and only three that disagreed with me. Some web surfing this morning revealed some others who joined the fray. This article, 5 Reasons to Ignore Buffett, is eerily parallel to my [...]

I could use a toaster, but what am I going to do with a bank?

It’s nice to see that my article on the standard of living bubble made it to some great websites: Alex Jones Infowars and Aaron Russo’s Restore the Republic.
