Awards I don't ever want to win

When you win an award, I often see it as joining a club of people who've won it before. Therefore, I'm creating a list of awards I don't want to win.

Compare and contrast

While Krugman sees a vast right-wing conspiracy on every channel, his colleague Nicholas Kristof does some good work exposing the AIDS crisis in China. Since it is responsible for making these people sick, the Chinese government owes them supplies of the antiretroviral drugs that combat the virus. If the Communist Party used the money squandered […]

Why do I feel qualified to rant about economics?

For the same reason New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is qualified to rant about the media. [T]his week Al Gore said the obvious. "The media is kind of weird these days on politics," he told The New York Observer, "and there are some major institutional voices that are, truthfully speaking, part and parcel of […]

More on New Source Review

Count on The Wall Street Journal to publish a commonsense article on the entire issue. My carburetor analogy in the article below turns out to be amazingly apropos.

If you listened to Krugman...

...you'd believe that the state of the environment in the United States is continually getting worse. While that's not factually the case, in his Tuesday column, Krugman argues just that.

Everyone can hate

In a story that has not made the national media (and may never get much national attention), a 19-year-old homosexual man named Nicholas Gutierrez has been charged with the murder of a 51-year-old woman. The woman, Mary Stachowicz, was a Christian who reportedly questioned Gutierrez about his sexuality. Chicago Police Cmdr. Lee Epplen said Gutierrez, […]

It's obvious you're run out of ideas when...

...you're Paul Krugman and you come up with this as the basis for your column. In Friday's column, Krugman attacks some Republicans for having successful progeny. [A]merica, we all know, is the land of opportunity. Your success in life depends on your ability and drive, not on who your father was. Just ask the Bush […]
