Fracking Can Be Done Safely, but Will It Be?
Fracking Can Be Done Safely, but Will It Be?:
It can be much safer. But since that involved government passing and enforcing laws, we can count on a segment of debate to be opposition for the sake of opposition.

Tunneling KFC to Gazans Craving the World Outside
Tunneling KFC to Gazans Craving the World Outside:
The French fries arrive soggy, the chicken having long since lost its crunch. A 12-piece bucket goes for about $27 here — more than twice the $11.50 it costs just across the border in Egypt.
The situation in Gaza is absurd. The smuggling of fried chicken via tunnel is both tragic and comic.

G.O.P. Split Over Whether to Waste Time Investigating Benghazi or Repealing Obamacare
G.O.P. Split Over Whether to Waste Time Investigating Benghazi or Repealing Obamacare:
Warning that “the American people don’t have an endless appetite for meaningless political theater,” Cantor added, “If we’re going to do something that’s purely symbolic, pointless, and detached from reality, I say it should be repealing Obamacare for the thirtieth or fortieth time.”

Do you want to know where all that education money is going?...
Do you want to know where all that education money is going? Looks like it isn’t going to education. School sports, the original edu-tainment industry.
And the highest paid public employee in your state is…
Just be you, Vermont.

We need a 5th Geneva Convention
The first step to ending the Global War on Terrorism should be a Geneva Convention that defines what a terrorist is, what states can and can not do to fight them and what rights they have when captured. Until there is an agreed upon standard definition of terrorist, states are free to declare almost anyone a terrorist to escape the obligations of law.

House of Un-Representatives
House of Un-Representatives:
This Republican House is almost like a parallel government, sitting in for some fantasy nation created in talk-radio land.
Sad and true. Worth a read.

Krugman: Not Everything Is Political
Krugman: Not Everything Is Political:
in practice it turns out that many conservatives are unwilling to concede that Keynesian macro has any validity to it, or that you can sometimes run the printing presses without unleashing runaway inflation, because they fear that any such admission would open the doors to much wider government intervention. But that’s exactly my point! They’re letting their views about how the world works be dictated by their vision of the kind of society they want; they’re politicizing their economic analysis. And that’s why they keep getting everything wrong.
This is why we can not have a policy discussion. Because one side doesn’t care about how the world actually works, only the kind of world they wish to live in.

"Bush brought an unprecedented level of systematic dishonesty to American political life, and we may..."
“Bush brought an unprecedented level of systematic dishonesty to American political life, and we may never recover. Think about his two main “achievements”, if you want to call them that: the tax cuts and the Iraq war, both of which continue to cast long shadows over our nation’s destiny. The key thing to remember is that both were sold with lies.”
