I found two nifty articles this weekend, one in the Australian and the other courtesy of Power Line (from the UK Economist), both discussing the increasing statistical problem with so-called climate change models. I just love this title: Twenty-year hiatus in rising temperatures has climate scientists puzzled So I decided to read further:  I found [...]

This article from the Wall Street Journal online is revealing: Estonia is the 132nd-smallest country in the world by land mass, yet it produces more start-ups per head of population than any other country in Europe. It has a population the size of Copenhagen but has one of the world’s most advanced e-governments. Again, it [...]

I saw this article (via the Daily Paul) at the Huffington Post.  I have to write about Estonia, which along with Latvia and Lithuania, are three of my favorite nations in all the world.  Independent between the world wars, annexed illegally by the Soviet Union in 1940, and thank Almighty God, the Father of our [...]

I am not an economist – I hated econ class and the only thing that saved it was the attractive older redhead that liked me sitting next to her.  I was somewhat oblivious to her interest but enjoyed the attention!  I do respect the education and learning of Paul Krugman – he is a Nobel [...]

It’s not Friday without a ridiculous column in the New York Times by Nobel Economics Laureate Paul Krugman.  Many times I want to respond.  But I don’t really know anything about economics (makes me perfect for elected office, right?); when I took it in college I was stymied by the terms and concepts.  They talked [...]

Gallup writes today, “Americans of all political persuasions say the economy and jobs are the most important problems facing the country today.

That title ought to get readers but even a stopped clock is right twice a day.  Paul Krugman talks about how the Euro is an artificial currency: I remember quipping, back when the Maastricht Treaty setting Europe on the path to the euro was signed, that they chose the wrong Dutch city for the ceremony.

This article in the Weekly Standard by Matthew Continetti made me wonder what is happening to conservatism today.  Breaking up big banks and adding regulations is conservative?  Here’s some highlights: Over the last week, however, Paul Krugman has written two columns saying the size of the banks is irrelevant; what matters are the rules the [...]
