A friend of mine, currently emboiled in what seems to be post or near break-up trauma, said I should write about the economics of dating. I won’t, sorry. For starters it’s not a subject with which I’m terribly familiar and I haven’t done much reading on it; secondly, I’m just not that interested […]
Congress is conspiring with the regulatory authorities to drive away business from banks and hurt small-business owners. Through excessive data-gathering requirements and substantial risk of high fine to banks, the lending environment is becoming increasingly hostile to convenience stores. This is pretty unfortunate, as most C-stores are owned by immigrants, minorities, and hard-working […]
Whoever espoused the virtues of cable internet has obviously never had it from some local co-op with an exclusive contract for one’s apartment complex. BSA post tomorrow. Dammit. Grande Communications, you suck a big pink one.

New Pope prayed not to be elected. God, apparently, ignored him. I guess it’s just hard to get a response out of the Almighty these days when you’re, you know, up for election to sit in the seat of St. Peter. Oh right, I remember, God isn’t real. Still funny […]
Don Boudreaux notes that his kid has stumbled upon an old staple of my childhood, Captain Planet. I have to admit that when I was a kid it was one of my absolute favorite shows. I still have the theme song memorized, as do many of my friends, and I can still recall […]
In a moral sense, as far as I’m concerned. Especially after reading this TCS article and the paper it mentions.
It turns out that Evil Pharma Companies are not the ones at fault when it comes to lack of access to essential drugs in the poor parts of the world. As is often the […]
Jacqueline Passey is. Well, not really about America so much as the prospect of turning the United States back onto the path of small government. She says this about the state of American political life:
