CBO, the Wizard of Oz, and the Keynesian Fairy Tale December 4, 2009

Critics responded by explaining that making government bigger would divert resources [... […]

Nidal Hasan and Fort Hood November 20, 2009
One of the difficulties in discussing Islam's more troubling doctrines is that they have an anachronistic, even otherworldly, feel to them; that is, unless actively and openly upheld by Muslims, non-Muslims, particularly of the Western variety, tend to
