It’s an Energy Shock, stupid.

February 21, 2009

Here’s a guy I have a lot of respect for – Paul Volcker. I even give Obama points for choosing him as an advisor.  Why doesn’t Volcker (or anyone else but Larry Kudlow) mention the obvious: This recession was caused by a giant energy shock!  When $150 oil met an overleveraged economy, that was it.

Pork Barrel Politics Lives!

February 14, 2009

This stimulus package is a disgrace to representative government. Is this the example we want to set for the world’s newest democracies in Iraq and Afghanistan? Come on, people.  Stimulate the economy — Don’t run a census! This article lists many of the absurdities that made it into the bill… Reason Magazine

Congress Passes the Stimulus Package?

February 12, 2009

Mole People Oppose Offshore Drilling – Pelosi Agrees.

August 5, 2008

I saw this today and it made me laugh out loud.  Normally, I chastise writers for being so one-sided in political debates.  However, since this guy made his rant funny, I’ll let him off the hook.  Some of the comments are funny too. http://www.imao.us/archives/010284.html
