Potpourri

* You know how it wasn’t the Fed that caused the housing bubble, but those Chinese savers? Well Paul Krugman tells us it’s the same story with rising food prices–not the Fed’s fault, but those Chinese eaters. * Lew Rockwell has a really nice historical and psychological analysis of right-wing warhawks. (I.e. he offers plausible […]

I Don’t Mean to Be a Debby Downer But…

…is anyone else’s Spidey sense tingling with all the acceptance of Ron Paul in mainstream circles now? I still can’t believe they let him get the position.

(Yes there’s a geeky Star Wars reference in the post title…) OK this whole thing is hilarious/repugnant. Somehow this guy Alvin Greene–an absolute nobody in terms of politics–wins the Democratic primary for a U.S. Senate race in South Carolina. Now this makes the establishment elites–you know, the people who are trying to take over the […]
