Bailout promises, Mao’s famine and bad incentives

November 10th, 2009 | No Comments

I’ve stolen that title from Classically Liberal.  It’s not really the point I’m shooting for, but it’s close enough and the article is a riot.  A lot of people have been claiming Obama’s socialist.  I have for that matter.  However, people supporting Obama have dismissed those claims as rhetoric.  However, Obama’s White House PR person [...]

Obama’s hiccups

Everyone is saying this has been a near-flawless transition: It had to come some time.

Is it conceivable that Al Qaeda, as defined by President Bush as the center of a vast and well-organized international terrorist conspiracy, does not exist? He is referring to an article in the L.A. Times titled the same as this post. Here are some [...]

Moon’s 9/11 Commission

August 6th, 2004 | 2 Comments

OK, so I’m no commission, but I do have a lot of questions and I think some ideas about security before 9/11 that the other commission wimped out of dealing with. Namely, what went wrong? No, I’m not talking about United States’ citizens not having the stomach to deal with the aftermaths of the original [...]
