Lousy Blogging Week?

It's not capitalism when companies are too big to fail, it's not civilization when they get too big to tax.

More training? It's been 8 years, we could have build a West Point in Kabul, and trained up an entire officer corps from raw recruits by now

It was always all about energy. That this baffles economists only makes it more plausible http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6006#comment-565385

Dear Rick Warren, If you're not against raw evil in Uganda, just what are you for? Shouldn't religion be leading the fight here?

I think I just saw the future of Twitter. I was reading @GregMitch 's updates in real time during the HBO R&R show.

Charles Tatum: You know what's wrong with New Mexico, Mr. Wendel? Too much outdoors.
