1. The upheavals of 2011 were provoked by the Bush administration’s overthrow of Saddam Hussein in Iraq 2. President Obama was wrong to ask Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to step down. 3. Muslim radicalism benefited from the revolutions in the Arab world. 4. Muslim religious groups spear-headed the revolutions. 5. The uprising in Bahrain was merely a manifestation of sectarian [...]
Smashing the Laffer Curve
This might very well be a long post (if not a series of posts turned into a quick book). The target of this post is something called the “Laffer Curve”. There’s a few different things this might refer to. Let me lay out a basic level of understanding of this concept now, straight from [...]
What Happens When I Get Really Angry
This is probably just a coincidence, but I realized my frustration with the current debt ceiling debate, which had been building for months and finally bubbled over the past week or so, has had some severe consequences. Sorry about that. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, has put together this animation of the phenomenon with [...]
How the Ryan Plan and the Third Rail will Kill You
Just a couple quick minutes of the details of the Ryan Plan for Medicare. I didn’t mention that the cuts are going to to be used to fund ever larger tax cuts for the wealthy. Neither does Ryan.
Moderate Debt Ceiling Rant
I’ll let this guy speak for his own self. Couple other links on the topic…these are largely the symptoms of the above phenomenon. Here’s some general background reading on the changes happening during the period ranted about. Remember how Wisconsin was broke and teachers needed to take a pay and rights cut to balance the [...]
Sarah Palin Reveals the Real Victim of Tucson : Sarah Palin (bonus: Krauthammer supplies the glue, Brooks the solution)
I hope not to have to spend too much time on this topic. I’ve already said my piece, the data stands on its own. I am going to point out some of the inadvertent arguments a few pundits have brought up to disavow any responsibility for this tragedy, and how they make a really strong for [...]
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. For whatsoever one soweth, that shall she also reap
*long exhale* I’ve been thinking about where to go with this one. As pretty much everyone is aware by now, over this last weekend a U.S. Congresswoman was gunned down during her first public event with constituents after a hotly contested election. Since then….well…it’s been a cavalcade of finger-pointing, deflection, protesting too much, more blame, [...]
The Short History of False Rumors and Those Who Believe Them
This little lie has been fun to watch worm it’s way around the world. I’ve seen this happen before, and since I’m sure it will happen again, I’d like to point out exactly how this stuff happens, and what exactly it results in (well, we saw that last Tuesday, but I digress a wee bit early). [...]
Taking on the Myths of the RWEC and the Derp of its Citizens
So we’re going to bust a few RWEC* myths real quick-like. First up, via Krugman and the NYT… Consider, in particular, one fact that might surprise you: The total number of government workers in America has been falling, not rising, under Mr. Obama. A small increase in federal employment was swamped by sharp declines at [...]
That cinches it, we totally need waaay bigger tax cuts for the rich
Here’s the news, unsurprising to those who follow this sort of stuff… WASHINGTON — The income gap between the richest and poorest Americans grew last year to its widest amount on record as young adults and children in particular struggled to stay afloat in the recession. The top-earning 20 percent of Americans — those making [...]
Link Dump….
Working…can’t write…dumping link… – This is why they should. (I got sick of this nontroversy a couple days ago) – When Pat Buchanan calls your Nazi analogy over the edge, it is. – Read the comments to see why I call them nutjobs. (note the comment and reactions to the comment that explains this away [...]
Happy Birther Day, Mr. President!
And an oy and a vey directed right at the heart of America… Forty-two percent of those questioned say they have absolutely no doubts that the president was born in the U.S., while 29-percent say he “probably” was. “Not surprisingly, there are big partisan differences, although a majority of Republicans thinks Obama was definitely or [...]
