The ipecac kicks in
In the fall of 2008, in a political discussion with a friend, she asked if I was worried about Obama being elected. I said no, for various reasons. First, I felt (wrongly, in retrospect) that Obama, like Bill Clinton, would largely govern from the center. Second, I had (and have) a lot of trust in […]
For Browncoats everywhere
Best $200 I ever spent. I’m going to be smiling for days. Contrary to a lot of the spin coming out of the Left, here’s what Rasmussen found: In the end, Brown pulled off the upset in large part because he won unaffiliated voters by a 73% to 25% margin. The senator-elect also picked up […]
Robert Parker, RIP
One of my favorite modern authors, Robert B. Parker, died at home, literally while writing his next Spenser novel. I have read the whole Spenser series several times over the years and buy each new one as soon as it comes out in paperback. I wonder if he has tucked away in his files a […]

The problem with mass transit
One fundamental economic problem with mass transit is that it rarely, if ever, is financially self-sufficient. This is usually explained away with something like, “Well, if we get enough people riding it, the benefit to the environment will be worth it.” Besides the fact that this generally isn’t true, there’s the additional problem that when […]
If those corporate “we’re going green” ads were honest…

Breaking news: another Democrat bows out
Governor Bill Ritter (D-Colorado), who has been trailing in polls against potential Republican challengers for his re-election this fall, has decided not to run at all, according to this morning’s Denver Post: Ritter told other Democrats the job was taking a toll on his family and he could not be successful as a father and […]
