Before We Go Now

The Contra Cruise departs this Sunday, and I probably won’t be able to blog for a good 10 days. (Some of you will have to troll Scott Sumner in my absence. Don’t let him get away with winning via definitional fiat.) Here are some links: ==> Rob Bradley explains the corner into which James Hansen […]

Contra Krugman: We Take on Hillary’s Promises About Family Leave and Mental Health

BTW, I am now going to call her “Hillary” because her own campaign site does it. (I explain in the episode.) Here’s the link. If you don’t listen to these religiously, let me plug this as a particularly good one. Jokes, economics, Krugman Kontradictions… what more do you want? By the end of the episode […]

Contra Krugman Ep 53: Krugman Goes After the Libertarians

I was actually nervous going into this one, since so many people on Twitter were hyping it along the lines of, “I can’t wait for Tom and Bob to rip apart this week’s column!!” But, honesty compelled me to point out that Krugman didn’t actually say a single negative thing about Gary Johnson.

Keeping Up With My Podcasts

To repeat, I am traveling a lot lately, and I’m behind on “day job” stuff. But: ==> In the latest Contra Krugman, Tom and I talk about Lyin’ Ted Cru–I mean Lyin’ Hillary Clinton. ==> In the latest Lara-Murphy Show, Carlos talks European banks and I talk about the US federal debt.

Potpourri

I’ve got to really buckle down in the office, so you won’t be seeing much from me in the next few weeks. Here are some links to keep you from losing it. ==> My flights got screwed up so I missed this live, but Lew Rockwell gave a great antiwar talk on Saturday for the […]

Contra Krugman Episode 50 — What’s Causing Maternal Deaths in Texas?

There has been a spike in maternal deaths in Texas. The authors of the study documenting this disturbing fact don’t know the cause, but Paul Krugman is pretty sure it’s misogynist (and racist) Republicans. Tom and I investigate.

Two Things From Tom and Me

First, hear us tackle Krugman’s excuses for ObamaCare. (He says it’s the fault of obstinate Republicans and health insurers with ulterior motives. You know, Aetna is losing hundreds of millions of dollars on purpose because they don’t like Obama.) Second, doesn’t the below look fun? Well guess what, that’s the ship hosting the Contra Cruise! […]

Contra Krugman

Here’s the latest episode. Tell me if you guys think we were being unfair to Krugman. (I mean, on his own terms; did we misrepresent his position?) I was somewhat surprised by his stance. BTW not sure I mentioned this, but I’m going to Argentina in about two hours, to speak at this conference. Not […]
