So, I’m in the process of launching a new company call Acoustic Frames. I’ve been building a few prototypes to see what works and what doesn’t. The first one I built a few weeks ago was not very good. This new one featured below is the second prototype. It turned out much better. There are […]
Anyone else sick of this guy? I am. If you really think he is your guy to challenge Obama in 2012, consider this. Donald Trump is only into this… publicity stunt or whatever it is… for one reason… Donald Trump. You should forget about the showman that he is, who you think he is, and […]
A friend pointed me to this article today, which notes that tax credits intended to spur economic growth in poorer areas are being misused to build luxury hotels in more affluent neighborhoods: The landmark Blackstone Hotel in downtown Chicago, which has hosted 12 U.S. presidents, opened in 2008 after a two-year, $116 million renovation.

OK, I’ll provide a few details, such as they are: According to people briefed by the senators, the bill aims to cut carbon emissions from 2005 levels by 17 per cent by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050, largely by implementing separate caps on utilities and manufacturers. The federal government would sell separate pollution permits […]
Flush with the success of taxing Americans blind via the health care bureaucratic expansion bill, a”New” Climate Change / Energy bill is on its way. From the Financial Times: Three senior US lawmakers are piecing together a sweeping bipartisan energy and climate bill, which looks set to include sweeteners to galvanise support among Republicans and […]
I was reading Bruce Bartlett’s blog today concerning the government defaulting on the national debt, and a commenter left this remark: Gingrich threatened debt default during the 1995 budget impasse. That gambit failed because everyone knew that the consequences would be so dire, there’s no way the GOP could have stayed united behind it. But […]
No, this is not about the David Brock progressive slant machine. Yesterday, I documentsed the FAIL of the dead tree edition of the New York Times to cover the Scott Brown Election. Today, the media eye has returned to focus on failed Dem candidate John Edwards. Seems he has admitted that he is indeed the […]
