I’ve been waiting for this to surface. My own economic beliefs didn’t even require this, but it makes sense that there is more criminality involved than I initially expected.
I suspect that—with apologies to a famous American patriot—we have not yet begun to get outraged. At least if some of the insurance experts I’ve been talking [...]
I realize that according to some “conservatives” I risk being found guilty of talking down the economy. But the only way “confidence” is related to the meltdown we are now in is the confidence game some people mistake for the duties of politicians.
In any case, I’m not yet equipped with a camera on my person [...]

So I’m minding my own business cleaning portapotties this morning in the freezing rain, and I decide to listen to 97.1 FM when I’m in the truck. It was pretty early this morning so I was listening to Randy Tobler. Randy had as his guest Josh Carter. Josh had the temerity to get an attorney [...]
From blogger, Chris Moody:
The House voted this week to reauthorize and reform national service laws, which could open the door for compulsory national service. The plan will explore whether to establish a “volunteer corps” to see if “a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people” should be developed.
Translation: Think military [...]
Of course it also surpasses and replaces it. All I’m about to say below simply boils down the fact that Jesus is the New Adam.
When Jesus created Adam and Eve ….
(We know from Scripture that the person Adam and Eve interacted with most directly was the second person of the Trinity and we have every [...]

I have done my best to try to demonstrate that there are aspects of the “New Perspective of Paul” that those of the Reformed faith can appropriate without losing their way. I’ve also been critical of the New Perspective (if you don’t believe me then ask Tom Wright or Jimmy Dunn who see me as [...]
We are not, we pray, on the verge of another Great Depression. Still, we see signs of economic failure all around us. Stores in the strip malls we drive past every day advertise “going out of business” sales. Those of us who are pastors know church members who have lost jobs, and we weekly see [...]
When Raymond Chandler began to write for pulp magazines in the Thirties, he planned from the first to smuggle something like literature into them.
Most of these magazines hooked their readers with a mixture of sex and violence – “they have juxtaposed the steely automatic and the frilly panty and found that it pays off”, wrote [...]
If, as in water stirr’d more circles be
Produced by one, love such additions take,
Those like so many spheres but one heaven make,
For they are all concentric unto thee;
And though each spring do add to love new heat,
As princes do in times of action get
New taxes, and remit them not in peace,
No winter shall abate this [...]

City Council President Jim Ananich said the idea has been on his radar for years.
The city is getting smaller and should downsize its services accordingly by asking people to leave sparsely populated areas, he said.
“It’s going to happen whether we like it or not,” he said. “We’d have to be creative about it, but it’s [...]

Savana Redding still remembers the clothes she had on — black stretch pants with butterfly patches and a pink T-shirt — the day school officials here forced her to strip six years ago. She was 13 and in eighth grade.
An assistant principal, enforcing the school’s antidrug policies, suspected her of having brought prescription-strength ibuprofen pills [...]

YouTube – The ABC’s of Virginia Alcohol Law.
Bizarre. Virginia’s ABC bureasaur for Alcohol sounds like the Obama strategy on guns: Just harrass people to make them give up.
Where do we get the idea that there is any libertarian ethos in the US? All I see are little fascisms popping up wherever they can.

Excellent summary of what is wrong with Geithner’s basic ideas about the crisis, which is why his idea of how to fix it is totally wrong.
The trouble with the economy is that the banks aren’t lending. The reality: The economy is in trouble because American consumers and businesses took on way too much debt and [...]
NYT reports that Obama is going to regulate executive pay:
The officials said that the administration was still debating the details of its plan, including how broadly it should be applied and how far it could go beyond simple reporting requirements. Depending on the outcome of the discussions, the administration could seek to put the changes [...]
Mish runs one of my favorite economic blogs, but today he actually agree with Paul Krugman three times! He links a lot of intelligent analysis of Geithner’s plan that you should go read. Then he concludes.
There have been a lot of intelligent comments by Yves Smith, CalculatedRisk, and Krugman. So far no one has said [...]
