This thing scares me. In spite of some agreeable points (on Big Pharma, health screening, and the bankrupt American empire), it’s very unsophisticated and completely unsupported by any facts or robust commentary. #3 reads “Modern Society is Unsustainable.”  Yes, the word “population bubble” is used. This should have never been written.

This has always perplexed me. That people will take up insane medical advice and choose the quickest, easiest way to what they perceive as “good health.” Women are getting their breasts chopped off as a cancer preventative. Lifestyle changes – mainly food choices – are just too much trouble and require too much discipline. In general, [...]

Someone in Minnesota doesn’t seem to like my reference to Palin as a “trained monkey.” One of the comments below the article ‘splains her well: “Palin is no good without rehearsed talking points and one-liners. She sounds like a soccer mom who’s out of her league when she attempts to defend conservative principles against Left wing [...]

The “New” Chrysler will be every bit as bad – no worse! – than the “Old” Chrysler. I’m still looking and thinking about that new vehicle, when the time is right, and none of my first 5, 10, … or 100 choices are an American-made car. Now, that door of possibility – if there was [...]

My favorite part is the disposal and shredding/crushing requirements for cars turned in. A small bite: (C) COORDINATION- The [...]

Creditors of Protein Sciences Corporation (of Meriden, Connecticut) filed an involuntary Chapter 7 petition to force the company into bankruptcy and liquidation. A day later, the U.S. government announced a $35 million federal contract for Protein Sciences Corp. “to develop a faster way to make vaccines for pandemic influenza.” How did this come about? Connecticut Senator [...]

My latest piece is up at Taki’s Magazine. It’s an expanded version of this blog post.

Amazing interview in U.S News and World Report. The first question is priceless. Interviewer: What surprised you most about the current financial crisis? Suze: That it happened at all. Surprised at that response? On what did she blame the general lack of foresight? CEOs who “went on television and looked in the cameras and told [...]

Skip Oliva just tipped me off to this insanity. Under the guise of protecting Americans from unsound and amateur product advice (reviews, recommendations, etc.), the FTC wants take control of the blogosphere. This, of course, is a maneuver the government has long sought so it can effectively turn off the uncontrollable competition to benefit its [...]
