Bush is like a butterfly

According to New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's latest tirade, the relatively modest Bush tax cuts (you know, the $300 rebate, elimination of the marriage penalty, etc.) are responsible for wreaking fiscal destruction like that created by anyone stupid enough to cast Pauly Shore in romantic comedy opposite J. Lo. The new study, carried out […]

More shameless commercialism

It's not that I ever expect to earn anything resembling a living from this blog, but, in the interest of possibly making some cash from this endeavor, I've chosen to plug Amazon.com. If you use one of the links to the left (scroll down if necessary) to buy something, I get a little cash. Right […]

Advice for Democrats

Not that they'll listen to me, but if they want to outfox Bush on tax cuts, this would be a good plan of attack.

I wish they'd come up with a better phrase

The Wall Street Journal editorial page has taken on the issue of the poor paying no federal taxes again. The Journal has referred to these people as "Lucky Duckies" -- a characterization that just gives columnists like Paul Krugman fodder for his column. However, I will point out, once again that Krugman is a liar […]

Donna Brazille, economist

The DNC's Donna Brazille is on CNN right now and has said, without rebuttal from Bay Buchanon, that the Bush Tax cut has been "pushing the economy down." Some economists have claimed that the tax cut hasn't helped the economic situation, and have basically said it has had no effect on the overall economy. But […]

A concession, and proof that it really is the dismal science

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's latest offering is a pessimistic assessment of the economy. Of note in Krugman's analysis are two things: First, Krugman, possibly for the first time (it would be nice to have access to Lexis-Nexis), acknowledges that the Bush Tax Cut has benefited the economy -- if only "marginally." Second, Krugman […]

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 […]

Another one bites the dust

It's not Kenny-boy Lay, so it won't please a certian person I know, but you've got another former Enron executive pleading guilty.

A good omen on the horizon

I've been searching for a condo here in San Diego and there isn't much out there for someone who works at a newspaper. A second income would certainly help, but I have yet to find a woman willing to tie the knot. Today's New York Times has an article on the affordable-housing crisis in the […]

I can't make this stuff up

House Minority Leader Richard Gebhardt (I'm adopting the Babs spelling of his name until election day), has unveiled the Democrats' budget plan, and made a laughable accusation. In a speech to the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal think tank, House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt of Missouri accused President Bush and his Republican allies in Congress […]
