Excellent stuff (I wasn't reading this week's submissions. Only one point: it looks like the Mexican folks who cry about their high taxes are exaggerating a bit. Here is an interesting chart: http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/24/the-tax-burden-around-the-developed-world/ Anyway, taxes are not a justification for economic despair, as the same chart shows.

Charles Martel, as the Left intended it to be all along. They were looking to create a “crisis” in order to “justify” greater authoritarian power and Emergency Rule decrees.

They’re always looking for such an opening. They will never give up.

Tonestaple – yeah, it really is. (I was sitting in a Starbucks on Madison writing on the laptop, which – I think – is how come I kept calling it “Madison” instead of “McGuire.”)

But it is completely empty, and comes down in March, according to the watchmen guys they have posted around it to keep squatters out. (If any get in, then they could claim to be living there, and since bums have most of the rights these days, it would tangle everybody up in eleven years of legal horses***, during which time the building would probably fall down, hurt somebody passing, and there’s another 17 years of new and better legal horses***) I was in fact walking one of the Dobermans around the block one night over Christmas, and he was pausing by each of the Erector-set scaffolding feet to leave a small liquid marker, as male dogs tend to do. The guard was watching, started to laugh and remarked: “that’s about how I feel, too. Peeing on this place seems like a good idea.”

But I do bet it costs more to buy a Seattle building inspector than it does an Acapulco one. This is, after all, America.
