In terms of unconstitutional centralization and use of power, I have had many reasons to wish Bush had never acquired the presidency. Nevertheless, I think we’re going to miss Bush’s “fascism” when we meet the real thing: Here’s the plan for the SS and I’m sure there will be a youth division too:

Memo to Craigslist: you might want to inform your users that we are not yet in a deflationary spiral. Otherwise, I think your value as a job site might imitate the value offered here:

Briefly following up:
First, from Reuters:
“In our opinion, NCC was in essence forced into finding an acquirer at a panic price,” said Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Kevin St. Pierre, who considers the deal a “boon” for PNC shareholders and a “boondoggle” for NCC shareholders…
Commenting on possible reasons for the sale, Citigroup analyst Keith Horowitz said “it […]

Normally this would simply be a friendfeed item. But I don’t like blogging too irregularly and I’m busy at the moment. So it will do.
U.S. Rep. Steven C. LaTourette (R-OH) says he fears that John Dugan, Comptroller of the Currency, steered $7.7 billion of taxpayer bailout money to his former client, PNC, so it could […]

Not sure Michelle sees it that way, but I think Reagan stands out as courageous for realizing that it was wrong to think that peacekeeping in the Middle East was worth American blood. He got us out after reconsidering his decision, from the standpoint of over two hundred killed. Strangely, for many, “never forget” seems […]

Any time a god saves people he gives them a new song.
The worst thing I can say is that I’m tempted to wish on the singers the fulfillment of their wishes.

I have no idea if Naomi Wolf’s book is any good or not. I’m not even done with the video. I have it paused now at 1:45.
But what is Meredith Vierra thinking and what are viewers supposed to think?
Wolf reports that the First Brigade is being deployed in the United States in contravention to ….
Well, […]

That’s how the establishment responds to the prophesied Judgment Day: “It is all their fault”
Thus, the Slate rant. But you gotta love the irony:
The worst thing you can say about libertarians is that they are intellectually immature, frozen in the worldview many of them absorbed from reading Ayn Rand novels in high school. Like […]

Newsweek: “Vulture’s in Miami’s Real Estate Market”:
Not since a hurricane devastated Miami in 1926 has the city offered so much property at such steep discounts. “You’re not going to see a new condo go up in this town for seven years, minimum,” says Zalewski. “The common Joe can’t get a mortgage, and a 40% downpayment […]

Watch this video.
How has the price of gasoline affected your purchasing power in other areas? How has it affected prices.
Again, watch the video. Wall Street was banking (literally?) on those high prices to keep them going. It’s not about resource depletion. It is about speculation and a desperate attempt to keep living large. Now that […]

I mentioned earlier that I felt like I was stuck in an Ayn Rand novel. A favorite sci fi author reminded me of some more details about why that is. I think some writer’s scoffed that Rand would name a government bureaucrat, who blackmailed and stole from corporate heads, “Wesley Mouch.”
Can you imagine the reaction […]

Reading this report, I can only hope it is accurate. If the United States was to go into 2009 with a strong economy, that would mean we could be certain to engage in more international warfare on foreign soil. (Who gets elected would have made no difference. The McBama presidency will mean more war unless […]
