Potpourri

* I am going to be in Las Vegas for FreedomFest for a few days, so drop me an email if you will be too. * Doug French favorably reviews my new book. * Vasko Kohlmayer favorably reviews my new book. * Mercedes Rules asks me, in regard to the reports about Goldman Sachs’ trading […]

Potpourri

In my weakened state, I can’t do full-blown blog analysis. I must opt for s list of links… * “Lilburne” kicks a horse on its deathbed, but to good effect. There are some juicy Krugman (and Keynes) quotes in here, on the whole issue of “Did Paul Krugman actually suggest that Greenspan deliberately engineer a […]

Am I Delirious, or Did Paul Krugman Just Say What I Think He Said…?

I am in bed all day–well, except for right now–because I’m pretty sick, and I’m trying to get over this runny nose/headache/fever/achiness before Freedom Fest (imagine the possibilities!). So I thought maybe I was suffering from delirium, when I read Paul Krugman’s recent blog post on the paradox of thrift. It is hands down the […]

"Man Dies as Bug Hits Cruise Ship"

That was the headline on this BBC story, so I naturally clicked on the link. I was imagining a really really heavy beetle that smacked into the hull, knocking the guy who was doing his Leonardo DiCaprio impression into the icy sea. But that seemed absurd, so my second thought was that a motorist died […]

An excerpt: In any event, Hoover’s last fiscal year was FY […]

Phew! State Governments Pledge Not to Implant Microchips Against Your Will *Unless a Judge Orders It

I recently became aware of the theory that the elites behind the scenes ultimately want to put microchips in all of us. When I first heard it, I laughed out loud because I thought it was so dumb. It turns out we have nothing to fear; various states have banned forced microchipping of people. Here’s […]

Knappenberger Takes on Krugman on Climate

Over at MasterResource climate researcher Chip Knappenberger takes on Paul Krugman’s op ed where he pulled an Ann Coulter and accused his enemies of treason. Here was my favorite part: [CHIP:] Krugman completely misinterprets the science on Americans’ response to heat waves. He said: [KRUGMAN:] Temperature increases on the scale predicted by the M.I.T. researchers […]

Wenzel v. Murphy: The Grand Finale

OK this will be my last post on this topic. Robert Wenzel struggles on, even though Stefan Karlsson has further demonstrated the untenability of Wenzel’s position. Wenzel is spending 95% of his time trying to show that my arguments sound like the Keynesian position that Rothbard attacks in his treatise. I’m not going to get […]
