The Wait Is Over–The Zombie Blooper Reel

Chad Parish did a good job editing this. I seem to recall that Tom and I had a funny conversation when we were pretending to talk for the opening of the real thing (and I was drinking coffee), but it probably wouldn’t have flowed. BTW, in this video I am referring to the fact that […]

Is There a Conservative Case for QE?

I say no. An excerpt: And there you have it, clear as a bell. Paul Krugman couldn’t have said it any better. According to Beckworth, the problem with our economy is that people aren’t spending enough. This simple idea is very powerful; it permeates our financial press when they wring their hands and wonder if […]

Target Acquired

This post is for the econo-geeks in the crowd.

(It’s true that I have what could plausibly be described as super powers, but I am not yet ready to reveal them to the world.) That’s actually just […]

Murphy, Anti-Freedom Fighter Tonight

Tonight I’m going to be on Judge Napolitano’s show, discussing Obama, Krugman, and the raising the debt ceiling. (Am I for or against? I’ll give you a hint, the answer is the same for all 3, though you’ll have to tune in to see which way I come down.) BTW I call myself an anti-freedom […]
