Is there some cerification board out there somewhere?

Hey, I'm just as respectful of authority as the next guy, but tell me -- is there some official agency somewhere that gets to decide things like this? UPDATE: Is this the administration's reaction? UPDATE II: Other reactions suggest the President has liquidated himself by performing a self-inflicted lobotomy. Who was it who said you couldn't make this stuff up? UPDATE III: Okay -- it was funny at first but now it's getting truly repulsive. Not that I think anything should be censored or prosecuted, but still, the more I read this morning the more this all sounds like pure and simple political hate speech.

But the Left is supposed to know all about history I thought...

David Michael Green's tirade against the Democrats, is lots of fun, but its grasp of history seems, well, sort of shaky: [The Democratic Partis is] the same party that could run a decorated combat hero against a war evader in 1972, only to be successfully labeled as national security wimps. Just to be sure, it then did the exact same thing again in 2004. I don't get it. Was Nixon automatically a war evader because he was a Quaker, even though he did in fact serve in WW II? Maybe I'm missing something.

Didn't Mel Gibson star in one of them?

Remember the "save the farm" social action movies of the 1980s? What was that all about, anyway? Here's the answer.

What's wrong with the Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee?

Other than the fact those who wrote it don't understand the finance sector, nothing.

The economics of modern fascism...

Yes, this essay is old -- Robert Reich is of course no longer Secretary of Labor -- but it strikes us as even more relevant today than it was when it first appeared. UPDATE: This, on the other hand, is current and just as relevant.

Orthodoxy gives way to Heterodox Economics

The internal contradictions were too much. The system was no longer viable in its then-present form. And the modern world emerged.
