Paul Krugman explains why Keynesian economists have now begun to switch to a fifth definition of inflation, “core inflation”, that is distinct and increasingly distant from the Keynesian school’s theoretical, official, textbook, and practical definitions. Since I’m taking a break from shoveling, I thought I might take a few minutes to address an issue that […]
Fixing the Mortgage Fraud It is both extraordinary and amusing to see how fast Washington and the Wall Street lapdogs that presently pass for our financial media have been forced to turn on a dime by the exposure of pervasive criminal activity on the part of mortgage-backed security sellers. The summer-long collusion of the Republican […]
The Washington Post finally notices that there might be a little problem in the housing market: Senior Obama administration officials said Friday that a nationwide moratorium on foreclosure sales may be inevitable, despite their grave reservations about the impact a broad freeze would have on the nation’s housing market and economic recovery…. With foreclosed properties […]
CM was one of the few first-time emailers to write in regarding the Clementi suicide who managed to remain coherent, civil, and emotionally continent in objection to my post on the subject: My evangelical brother told me about your blogging on the Clementi suicide. He directed me to it because he thought I had made […]
What we have here in this prediction of evangelical collapse is a very typically American failure to look beyond the cultural borders while attempting to contemplate global trends: We are on the verge – within 10 years – of a major collapse of evangelical Christianity. This breakdown will follow the deterioration of the mainline Protestant […]

Are women simply better-suited than men to today’s jobs? The Atlantic raised this issue provocatively in this month’s issue with a cover story by Hanna Rosin bluntly entitled, […]
I expected Obama to be worse than Bush in many ways. I did not, however, expect his administration’s response to a natural or environmental disaster to be even more incompetent than the Bush administration’s response to Hurricane Katrina: Sixteen barges sat stationary today, although they were sucking up thousands of gallons of BP’s oil as […]
I find these administrative shenanigans to be more than a little amusing: More than 22,620 Texas secondary students who stopped showing up for class in 2008 were excluded from the state’s dropout statistics because administrators said they were being home-schooled, according to Texas Education Agency figures. But that’s where the scrutiny of this growing population […]
At least with Obama, you know perfectly well that he wants to turn USA into a quasi-socialist third-world hellhole for the benefit of Goldman Sachs and the rest of Wall Street: Dobson pulls Grayson endorsement, backs Paul Just a week after backing Trey Grayson in the Kentucky Senate race, evangelical leader Dr. James Dobson pulled […]
