Wrong, that is in that he failed to appreciate his own his immense genius, and wrong in that he failed to appreciate that the progressive left wing account of economics was ever more staggeringly true than he thought it was: According to him, he was wrong to think that: highly leveraged banks had control over their risks. With people like Stanley Fischer and Robert Rubin in the office of the …
Europe crosses the Rubicon
Ireland has started to issue its own Euros, or rather counterfeit its own Euros, since it has no legal authority to issue Euros – not that anyone worries about legal authority these days. If any one country of Europe can get away with issuing Euros, then the political benefit is captured by the one country issuing Euros, while the inflationary effect is experience by all of Europe. This guarantees over …
The New Civility
“There would be torture and then an ear necklace, with [Minnesota US Rep.] Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin’s ears toward the end, because they’re small, female ears, and then Limbaugh, Hannity and the biggest ears of all, Cheney’s, in the center,” Fuller said.
Creeping progressivism
Mc Cain is horrified when a bunch of progressive lawyers demand that banks have their paperwork in order before foreclosing. He does not realize that he has implicitly conceded everything that matters to those progressive lawyers.

The blood libel against Sarah Palin
So, as Sarah Palin said, keep your powder dry.

The reason rhetoric is heating up is that we are drifting into the Cloward–Piven crisis, and the Cloward–Piven strategy only makes sense if we suppose that in the crisis, the left will attempt to exterminate its enemies.

If someone is a Muslim, and part of our ruling elite or close to it, he is probably a terrorist, or spends much of the rest of his day in their circles. There is at most one degree of separation between …
Gabrielle Gifford’s shooter was a lefty
Two down for the price of one!
Gabrielle Giffords needed killing
And so do most of congress, most of the regulators, and most of the businessmen in the revolving door between business and regulation. All the conservative criticism of her seems to be disappearing off the web, but what the hell, she stank, critics pointed out she stank, so someone killed her. Â It might have been a leftist who did not think she was left enough, but chances are, was …
