Share Button

There is a write-up of a review of Sarah Palin’s book at Volokh, and Ilya Somin expreses why he is not a fan of Mrs. Palin. I am of the same opinion, and here is a different problem I have with Palin. One of the reasons she left office before her first term had expired […]

Obama and Scientific Openness And Transparency – More “Same As The Old Boss”

Share Button

Remember how the Bush administration was accused of silencing critics within the administration when dealing with disagreements on science issues?  James Hansen (who appeared on 60 minutes to declare his being censored)  I’m looking your way.   Remember how Obama pledged that his administration was going to be open to scientific debate? Well, the administration […]

Fisking Andrew Sullivan

Share Button

First, let me say that I have no problem with reasonable criticism and fact check when it comes to ANY political candidate celebrity type person, of the like of Barrack Obama or Sarah Palin. Sullivan has this THING about Palin that just grinds his gears. He can’t get her out of his system. Some of […]

Meme Watch: Slush Fund

Share Button

A little while ago, Rush called the TARP and stimulus package passed earlier this year a “political slush fund”. I googled the term slush fund to see if anyone else had used the term in this fashion. Nothing came up. So let’s see how long it takes before the other conservative media outlets echo this […]

“I’m gonna sing the doom song now…” When I was doing my student teaching a couple of years ago, one of my students was a little freaked out over the impending doom that would occur in the year 2012. That is the year the Mayans supposedly foretell DOOM for the planet Earth. Of course, the […]

Will Harper Collins Make $$$ On Sarah Palin’s Book? “You Betcha!”

Share Button

The Daily Finance has done some number crunching on the prospects of the potential profits that can be made from Sarah Palin’s upcoming book Going Rogue. They have a very valid point that the current book sales price war between Amazon, Walmart, and Target is going to decrease the normal revenue stream of the book, […]

Healthcare Reform: The Seinfeld Tax – A Tax On Nothing????

Share Button

Over at Balkinization, there is a piece refuting the charge that you’ll go to jail if you don’t have or buy health insurance. If this article is correct, you won’t. But I find it interesting to note what will happen – you get taxed: If you are not exempted [exemptions are listed in the article], […]

A Point To Ponder: The Nuclear Option – Remove Corporations From Individual Status

Share Button

One thing about American law that has struck me as odd, is the fact that Corporations count as de-facto individual persons in regards to various state and federal laws. This has been a part of the fabric of Americans life since the Supreme Court decided such in Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad in […]
