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. I know, I know, people will say, “Oh but Bob, they couldn’t possibly have denied it to him. People would have been outraged.” Right, but people were outraged […]

Krugman Castles

I’m going to be pretty busy for all this week, so posting will be sparse. Meanwhile, check this out: Seeing the danger posed by my Knight, Krugman retreats to safety–for now. (See item #3.)

Is Scott Sumner Working on His Own Documentary?

Sometimes I really think Scott Sumner is the Deep Throat to my Bob Woodward. He leaves really obvious clues on his blog, but because of his prestigious position at Bentley he can’t connect all the dots. Yet he knows that I am out here, reading, and won’t let him down.

So Is the Florida Book-Burner a Fool or Clever?

Thus far I haven’t commented on this absurdity because I had nothing to add.

I have no idea why that was happening. Anyway, I took down those posts because I kept getting emails saying The Man was on to me, shutting down my […]

Authorities Blow the Whistle on Wikileaks Founder

Hmmm. Bob Roddis sent me some stores on Lila Rajiva’s site, raising skepticism about the street cred of Wikileaks. (Try this one for example, and follow its links at the top if you want more.) At first I thought, “Oh give me a break, so the government purposely allowed that helicopter video to leak out, […]

Elites to CNN: “We Have Analyzed Alvin Greene’s Attack Plan, And There Is A Danger”

(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 […]
