Backstory: The University of Notre Dame has asked the President of the United States to give the 2009 Commencement Address and the wackos have gone wacko. Over the first two months of his administration, Barack Obama has established himself as the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history. My alma mater [Notre Dame] should not be […]

BREAKING NEWS:  SUSSEX SECEDES FROM DELAWARE

In a scene reminiscent of the attack on Fort Sumpter in 1860, outraged Sussex Countians have stormed those cool looking fortress towers along Route 1 in the Delaware Seashore State Park.

Markell’s Math

Filed in National by on March 31, 2009 7 Comments

It comes down to the math. My take on the meeting is that Jack Markell is more practical than he is progressive or conservative. That is to be expected by as guy who comes to government service by way of private industry. He carries himself like a man who knows that there are going to […]

Quote of the Day

From Paul Krugman’s op-ed on Friday. But the wizards [Wall Street] were frauds, whether they knew it or not, and their magic turned out to be no more than a collection of cheap stage tricks. Above all, the key promise of securitization — that it would make the financial system more robust by spreading risk […]

Comment Rescue: Biochar

When El Somnambulo posted yesterday’s thread on biochar, he never expected (although he hoped) that a real expert would provide some real comprehensive information. He wishes to thank Erich J.
