Here’s a Robert Samuelson article, “bye bye Keynes” that should give us all pause: the arguments he uses to write Keynes’ obituary are arguments that we all posited in our own excoriation of Keynes in years past, in response to a string of commentators, ranging from A to Z. I’ve been reviewing our last few [...]

You’re thinking my post title is a joke, right? Wrong. It’s the God’s — er, I mean Gaia’s — honest truth: With the cooperation of politicians and grassroots organizations, Bolivia is set to pass the Law of Mother Earth which will grant nature the same rights and protections as humans. The piece of legislation, called [...]

On the heels of Bookworm’s excellent, hard-hitting essay on narcissism comes a nice coda on man-made global warming that is emblematic of Bookworm’s theme. Because of major discoveries involving the interaction of atmospheric aerosols and cosmic radiation, “climate models will have to be revised,” stated a communication from CERN that promises to completely overhaul scientific [...]

I’m a somewhat contrary person. (Right now, those who know me well are probably off laughing hysterically somewhere at my understatement.) Because the environmentalists are pushing so hard, from Al Gore on down, my instinct is to push right back. Pushing back makes me sound as if I don’t care about the environment, but that’s [...]

I had heard about a two-part article Mead wrote examining why Gore is a poor leader for the environmental movement, but I only now read it. It is well worth your time. Part I Part II My favorite quotation from Part I, which goes a long way to explaining the green failures: Consider how Gore [...]

Much has been written about playwright David Mamet’s coming-out as a conservative and his reasons for so doing, but there is still much gold to be mined from Mamet’s mind. Today’s National Review Online revisits Mamet in this stellar piece by Matthew Shaffer that contains this one gem that perfectly encapsulates some of the [...]

The last thing I want to do is to revisit the tedious back and forth discussions on global climate change, as each side, pressed for time, simply throws their favorite source links on the table. Unfortunately, because most of us have real lives, we lack the time to undertake the research we would wish to [...]

Conservatives have been aware for a while that the Texas oil industry is being threatened by a lizard. It’s not being threatened this way: Godzilla Movie Poster Instead, it’s being threatened this way: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Logo It turns out that the sand dune lizard, an innocuous little buff-colored guy, is (a) allegedly [...]

Cheap fuel is an important key to peace, human welfare and prosperity. We have the key. The world can’t do without fuel and the scramble for world fuel resources lies at the root of most of our current geopolitical problems. The high price of fuel affects the environment (e.g., 3rd world deforestation) and the price [...]

Here’s a good example of American imperialism, whereby rich and greedy American billionaires fund the sabotage of democratic institutions in foreign countries to further their own ideological and economic interests. Via: smalldeadanimals.com.

The server was down this morning. It’s back, but I’m heading out in a few minutes, so I don’t have the luxury of blogging. Meanwhile, though, I have a couple of posts to recommend. The first came courtesy of Danny Lemieux, who is traveling today and doesn’t have the luxury of posting himself. It’s about [...]

There’s a new bad guy in town in West Texas. He’s called the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard. He’s actually kind of cute, as lizards go. He’s about three inches long, a nice tan color, and has a vaguely Winston Churchill-esque expression. He seems harmless enough, but he comes packing a huge, powerful weapon: the federal government.
