I Have Been Following The Rock’s Career With Great Interest

I’m not sure if I blogged about this before, but it’s been very interesting to watch “The Rock’s” transition from wrestling to film stardom. Today I took my son to see Alvin and the Chipmunks (the only non-scary kid movie available, though it featured wedgies) and here was one of the trailers (just move the […]

I Told You Guys That Krugman Was Misleading the Children

Jeff Tucker passed along a very critical comment from reddit on my recent article accusing Krugman of making a basic mistake on trade theory. Here’s the opening salvo: Has this author ever even taken macroeconomics in college? This crap was on my freakin midterm; Krugman is 100% right. Increasing or decreasing the amount of trade […]

Potpourri

* It’s the clash of the titans over at Crash Landing, concerning a popular and allegedly circular argument against the State. * TokyoTom takes a break from discussing my income stream to pointing out the ominous WSJ series on financial “reform.” (I think it’s like health care “reform.”) * A naive economist allows his anti-Fed […]

When Life Gives You Taxes, Make the Savior of the World

Merry Christmas! And as part of our ongoing series, “Why does God let bad things happen?” here we explain that if King Herod and Caesar had become Rothbardians, the Scriptures wouldn’t have been fulfilled. The Jews in Jesus’ day were waiting for their Messiah, but the prophecies said he would come from Bethlehem. So you […]

It’s All About Me Potpourri

* I am on vacation and am not getting out my Rosetta Stone, but I frankly don’t know what Mish is even talking about in this response. It seems he is using a variation of the legal defense, “My client wasn’t at the murder scene, and if he were he doesn’t own a gun, and […]

When You’re Right With the Lord, You Make Good Decisions

I am at my parents’ house so blogging will be sparse for a while. In the meantime check out this passage (2 Chronicles 26: 1-15) which illustrates the way I think God works in history: 1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, [a] who was sixteen years old, and made him king in […]

Wenzel Flips?

A few readers want to know what I think of this provocative post by Robert Wenzel, in which he says Bernanke conned a bunch of us (bold mine): This is big. It is going to knock for a big loop all those concerned about the inflationary consequences of the soaring monetary base. The Federal Reserve […]

Jim Manzi Talks About the IPCC Consensus and Tom Friedman

I loved this Jim Manzi guest post at MasterResource, particularly because I recruited him for the task. The irony is that the latest IPCC report does not support aggressive emission cuts. You’ll notice that the people who do propose such actions will say things like, “Things have gotten worse since the IPCC AR4 report came […]
