Many people beleive that there had to be a trade-off between social justice and efficiency; that the persuit of the former will inevitably have to come at the expense of the latter. Yet, social justice and efficiency tend to correlate highly. Welfare efficiency and social justice are both perpetuated by redistribution. Those of you who have been reading me blog, already know that I am quite

The only thing more mind-numbing than Bush's absolute disengagement over the current (and growing) financial crisis is the steadfast, continued support of him by a small minority. Now, that's loyalty - or is it ignorance?

• The master of "What, me worry?*" leadership will always be remembered as the guy who:

• Was positively shocked to find out that gas will probably go up to $4 a gallon this

We need to stop talking about Iraq. It's not really an issue in this presidential campaign. We need to talk about everything but Iraq. Why? Because Republicans know that they have to take that issue off the table if they have prayer in hell of winning this fall.

But I'd like to talk about someone who took unilateral military action with virtually no strategic planning, using way too few troops

The Democratic nomination race is close, but Barack Obama still has the lead in both delegates and popular votes. He has been somewhat damaged by the Jeremiah Wright fracas, but not nearly as much as his right-wing critics would like. There may well be, in fact, a backlash in his favor, in the sense that the intense attacks against him would have fired up more Obama supporters than they turned

If you are watching TV or listening to Radio, shut it off and start looking up where the candidates stand on the issues.

One thing we have, is a  race that is based on personalities, not on the issues and the things we are going to be living with for the next four to eight years. If you do see or hear some one bring up a candidate's positions, they are over ran with a slew of venom and/or

The press is all abuzz with the alleged controversy about the Democrat “delegates” from FLorida and Michigan. If you’ve been under a rock since August of 2007 here is a quick summary:

The Democrat and Republican parties have rules about when you can hold primary/caucus events for presidential candidate nomination. Additionally they have consequences for

"It's 3am and you're safe and asleep. But there's a phone in the White House and it's ringing. Your husband's gone AWOL. Something's happening in a motel room in Washington DC. Your vote will decide who answers that call. Whether it's someone who already knows the best lawyers in town, knows the best spin-doctors. Someone tested by her husband's previous screwups and ready to lead the damage

The vast majority of Economists are liberals and even more support the Democratic Party. As a matter of fact the viewpoints of most economists form a good outline of contemporary liberalism. A study by Carnegie University and research by the Southern Economics Journal found the following:

• 71% of Economists beleive that income inquality in the U.S. is too high.
• 81% of Economists advocate a role for

Well, it looks like another victory for Barack Obama today in overwhelming fashion, so what else is new? For those of you keeping score at home, this now makes it 11 wins for Obama and 0 for Hillary since Super Tuesday. In other words, she's got him right where she wants him.

 

By winning all those meaningless caucuses and small potatoes primaries, Obama gets lulled into a false sense of security,

Hillary Clinton has fallen, and she can't get up. It's been one disastrous event after another lately for the once "inevitable" Democratic nominee. To recap, since the so-called tie on Super Tuesday, she's suffered eight straight caucus and primary defeats. She ponied up a $5 million loan to keep her campaign afloat. Her campaign manager and deputy campaign manager both left. Reports have
