The Inertia Of Power
I hate it when Saddam Hussein gets proved to be right … Buried in all his pre-invasion bluster was a promise that Iraqis would give the Americans ‘another Viet Nam’ if they tried to occupy the country. To many, this sounded like just another empty threat, but I took note when he said it. The reason for my attention had…
The Tax Policy Charade
Tax policy discussions are meant to do what? Arrive at a rational policy, or garner votes. I think it is the latter. What is lost in all the debate over tax increases versus tax cuts, is science.

Rabid anti-Semitism, coupled with inane and outlandish conspiracy theories of world dominion, is easy to counter and dispel. It is the more “reasoned”, subtle, and stealthy variety that it pernicious. “No smoke without fire,” – say people – “there must be something to it!”. In this dialog I try to deconstruct a “mild” anti-Semitic text. I myself wrote the text…

These are concepts that we should embrace. We should help those who can’t help themselves. John Edwards tells every American that he will fight for them. The defining attribute that makes Edwards…
