Tyler Cowen, Professor of Economics at George Mason University and co-author of Marginal Revolution.
I found this particularly interesting, and then I watched related videos for hours. Not exactly the most exciting weekend, but I didn’t want to do a thing and I’m succeeding.
He actually understands our economy and Economics in general, unlike the cronies of the past 8 years. As a signal of executive ability, judgement and leadership I am glad Senator Obama made this move. Furman’s history gives a strong indication of Obama’s willingness (and ability) to work across the aisle. Fiscal conservatism [...]
John McCain is speaking in Phoenix today (05/05/08), fielding typical questions along with a few ‘Cinco de Mayo’ immigration questions. It’s laughable that reporters say things like “since it’s Cinco de Mayo, I wanted to ask you about immigration.” McCain has been one of the more rational Republicans on the issue. He [...]
…just not the 110th United States Congress. When President Bush passes the buck on the housing crisis, he sends a solar wave of hypocrisy through the nation strong enough to power every home in America for the year. Maybe that’s a bit idealistic, but we truly have a revisionist in the White House. [...]
Elizabeth Edwards has written a beautiful op-ed piece for the Sunday New York Times (4/27/08) imploring the media to do its job. It seems like it should go without saying, but the media has failed the American people and democracy in general for the better part of the last decade. The media is [...]
John McCain is on another speaking tour, this time talking about poverty. The It’s Time for Action tour, at least one major news outlet likens this tour to President Bush’s ‘compassionate, conservative campaign’. We now know what a sham that was. It’s not to say that he doesn’t have a few good [...]
Republican John McCain said Sunday that cutting taxes and stimulating the economy are more important than balancing the budget, and accused both Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama of supporting tax hikes that would worsen the impact of a recession.

Senator McCain thinks he’s going to reverse our $3 trillion deficit by [...]
…but you don’t see.
It’s not good and evil. It’s not even black and white and gray area. There are millions of colors in every spectrum. We tend to fixate on two-sided things. Where they don’t exist, we create two sides and divide ourselves based on a line. A [...]
One of the biggest gripes I have with the climate of modern politics is that the moment you reveal one position on one issue, you are labeled. You can either be a flag waving, gun toting, Bible thumping, English-only speaking conservative or a soy burger eating, latte drinking, secular, high society liberal. It [...]
The network CEO received $36.8 million last year, including an $18.5-million cash bonus.
It’s always easy to gripe about the boss, and seemingly easier to pass off the concerns of the common man when the real wealth is on the table. I’ve argued for a long time that we shouldn’t have the disgusting 300 to [...]
The irony about all the “outrage” that’s being manufactured over Barack Obama’s small-town Pennsylvania statement is that it’s coming exclusively from out-of-touch rich people like John McCain and Hillary Clinton, who are making the assumption that this is something small-town Pennsylvanians should be offended by.
I just had to post this. We have this mountain [...]
Town Hall: asked how he plans to balance the budget, McCain praised Reaganomics…going on to say how he’ll cut the deficit, apparenlty using that same magical fairy dust that Ronny had.”
This jaded view of the Reagan administration is spooky in a time when executive power has already been expanded beyond belief. President Reagan [...]
Forget the 4,000 casualty mark, the $500 billion dollars spent, the absolute lack of progress. Consider the fact that 1 in 8 troops return with post-traumatic stress disorder. After 121 suicides in 2007 among active military personnel, we need to consider what we’re doing to an entire generation (without the draft, we still [...]
Well it’s only a hop, skip and a jump away from what he’s confusing now, that Al Qaeda in Iraq (which gained footing only after the US invasion in 2003) is Shi’ah; and grossly overestimating their popularity (an estimated 1000 extremists in Iraq). Today he says he won’t rule out pre-emptive war and he’s [...]
