		<title>No Blood for Debt Ratios</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is Paul Krugman insane?  Isn&#8217;t this column a huge plea for extending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq?  If spending trillions on the military &#8220;saved us&#8221; from the Great Depression, then why wouldn&#8217;t&#8230; spending trillions on the military today do the same thing, given how Krugman spends an entire column making the comparison?  Isn&#8217;t he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Prison Tycoon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For all the people debating private prisons, I want to point out that this exists: Prison Tycoon: Alcatraz Never underestimate the limitations of Alcatraz- from staff to prisoners you need to plan for everything! Expand your walls that house the most dangerous and diabolical criminals on earth- all for the bottom line. Anticipate escape attempts [...]]]></description>

		<title>Libertarians Win Later</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I want to express my complete agreement with everything here: But his column, and the libertarian donors he is channeling, make the same mistake (one he astutely recognizes in their case): operating on an inadequately short time horizon. I don&#8217;t know if a liberaltarian alliance is ever going to be a reality, or if the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Revolutionary New Concept in Economics:</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Specialization of labor!  The Daily Mail (via Instapundit) is not impressed: More than half of young people lack the skills they need to maintain their homes, with many relying on their parents to carry out basic tasks, a survey suggested today. Around 50 per cent of people aged under 35 admitted they did not know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good Thing We Fixed That Problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This isn&#8217;t painful until you see the date: Without the high stakes of U.S.-Soviet conflict, national-greatness conservatives are desperately seeking the moral equivalent of the Cold War. Their pursuit is in vain, for Americans go to war reluctantly and are happy to be at peace. At this point in our history, American nationalism is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Crazy Idea Too Far</title>
		<description><![CDATA[3 in 4 Americans believe stupid things, via Yglesias.  I thought the funniest was this: The &#8220;cumulative percent&#8221; column shows that more than one-fifth of all Americans, 22%, believe in five or more items, 32% believe in at least four items, and more than half, 57%, believe in at least two paranormal items. Only 1% [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fusionism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, lots of people are talking about the traditional conservative-libertarian alliance and wondering: why?  I think one reason this worked for as long as it did is highlighted by things like this: Earlier this summer, Grover Norquist agreed to join the group&#8217;s board and he immediately came under fire for betraying the conservative movement and the same thing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Powerful Stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I wrote previously about the issue, I didn&#8217;t know Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, the Muslim cleric who leads the Cordoba Initiative, had said this: We are here to assert the Islamic conviction of the moral equivalency of our Abrahamic faiths. If to be a Jew means to say with all one&#8217;s heart, mind and soul: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Step 2: Profit!</title>

One step forward, three steps back. Gene Healy&#8217;s book The Cult of [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Noted Situation Defuser</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hmmm: (CNN) &#8212; Airport police in Albuquerque, New Mexico are expected to release details Tuesday about an &#8220;incident&#8221; aboard a Southwest Airlines flight during which a mother may have slapped a young child. The Albuquerque International Sunport&#8217;s police chief told CNN affiliate KRQE that a flight attendant took the child from its mother. &#8220;I think [...]]]></description>

		<title>Frustrating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s frustrating to see Roger Pilon of Cato, an institution I normally like, buy into the anti-Cordoba viewpoint: It is the ground where some 3,000 people of all faiths lost their lives in a brutal attack by radical Muslims acting in the name of their religion, however distorted their beliefs may have been. Those who lost [...]]]></description>

		<title>Regulation By The Other Guys</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When objecting to regulations of businesses, libertarians often point out that just because the intent is to put wise and noble regulators in charge, that doesn&#8217;t always happen.  And sometimes, those regulators may end up being people that advocates for that regulation may not like at all.  Here&#8217;s one case: The developers’ [of Cordoba House [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hating The Audience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I randomly stumbled across this critique of reviews for the latest Michael Cera movie.  I don&#8217;t really care about the movie itself, since I haven&#8217;t seen it, but this jumped out at me: NPR&#8217;s Linda Holmes dissected reviews from the film&#8217;s harshest critics and discovered something interesting: negative critics don&#8217;t hate the film per se, they hate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time Travel Assassination Targets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amateur time travelers always go back in time and kill Hitler.  But I think the entry of the US into WW1 was even worse than Hitler&#8217;s rise of power &#8212; because they actually led to the circumstances that made Hitler possible.  Without the punitive Versailles treaty made possible by the US breaking the trench warfare [...]]]></description>

		<title>Persuasive Modes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reihan Salam was talking at Tim&#8217;s site (using a dandy inline chat called Envolve) about liberaltarians and conservatarians.  In discussing this, one of the most interesting things (to me) that came up was the debate over how to approach those you disagree with.  The specific instance was the mosque near the site of the 9/11 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye Iraq</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If this is for real, I&#8217;ll take back 6.4 bad things I&#8217;ve said about Obama: The Obama administration&#8217;s planned drawdown of U.S. troops from Iraq is proceeding &#8220;as promised&#8221; and should lead to an end of America&#8217;s combat mission there by the end of August, President Barack Obama said Monday. Plans to reduce the number [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hey, That&#8217;s My Idea!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, I completely agree with this: So here’s a modest proposal: Instead of spending $400 billion on Medicaid in 2010, let’s spend $300 billion, but instead of spending it on Medicaid, or even on vouchers, let’s write checks to the poor. Instead of filtering $9,815 per Medicaid enrollee through a cascade of government employees, let’s send $7,361 in cash into the [...]]]></description>
