Anarchy Lew correctly realizes that anti-globalization protesters are just Communists and Socialists who like to cause civil unrest at international confabs. However, his solution to defeat them is astonishing:
Withdraw the troops. Dismantle the nuclear weapons. Scrap plans to build a provocative shield. Repeal sanctions against Iraq, Cuba, and other nations on the bad guy list. […]
Yesterday, I finally bought a DVD player along with a copy of the gorgeous Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Has anyone used Netflix? It looks like a great concept, and I have heard only good things third-hand. If you’ve rented from them, drop me a note and tell me what you think of them.

If you’re living in the Midwest, you’ve noticed that gas prices have creeped close to $2 a gallon. This is because there was a fire at a Citgo refinery. It could take up to six months to fix it. The EPA is doing the sensible thing by temporarily releaving Citgo of some environmental regulations […]
Here’s my token Condit link. With fellow Democrats speaking ill of him and his own family opposed to any re-election campaign, it’s only a matter of time before Condit resigns. Then it will be good riddance to a sleazy Congressman.

President Bush’s attempt at streamlining government will probably be a futile as attempts by Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and AlGore, but the ideas are worth considering.
Here’s an idea that should seriously be considered: install Linux-based systems in government offices. Largo, Florida city government is saving time and money with open source software.

The dirty little secret is that there is no big pot of money labled Social Security Surplus. The excess funds that aren’t needed to pay current SS recipients are being used to pay down debt. On the books, it may appear that the government is dipping into SS, but there was no money there to […]

In true socialistic fashion, Agriculture Minister Jean Glavany can’t understand that private sector actions benefit the public good.
It’s necessary to establish a difference between experiments conducted for public research, which are essentially geared toward deepening […]
After reading Hooking Up Bruce Thorton is inspired to follow Tom Wolfe into the thick of the Culture Wars.
He illustrates what we need more of in the Culture Wars–hip, funny, mean commentators who won’t let the other side, themselves quick to hurl question-begging epithets like “racist” and “sexist,” hide behind the skirts of sensitivity and […]

Paul Gigot ends his 13 year run as columnist from Washington with this bit of wisdom about our nation’s capital:
On the other hand, there is no more parochial place in America. Most of the city’s intrigues, which can seem so compelling, count for little in the end.
Gigot will become the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page […]

My referrer logs have spoken so I’m listening. Many of you have found TAM while looking for information on Bjorn Lomborg, author of The Skeptical Environmentalist. To satisfy your appetite, I’m linking to a series of articles Lomborg recently wrote for the Guardian. I consider him another Julian Simon, only Lomborg is left-of-center and a […]
