Here comes the clown patrol cavalry
Does anybody honestly think these guys are going to do anything remotely helpful as they rush through a bill to “save the economy”?
I concur with Dan Flynn. This bailout is a steaming pile of…you know what.
Just after Bush’s speech tonight MSNBC went to Chris Dodd to get his thoughts on the crisis. I [...]
Glenn Beck: Right on oil.
I know that Glenn Beck comes off sometimes as a bit bombastic, being a radio personality and all. But his recent piece on CNN about energy in general and oil in particular is, well, a pretty good read.

On Globalization and the Cognitive Age
A great piece by David Brooks re: Globalization.

Why? When people can get the same return [...]
Krugman vs. Krugman
Brilliant piece by Ruth Marcus.

Interesting point of view…
