Midnight Candles
A cold wind from the future blows into my nighttime bedroom, more often than not during those midnight hours when fear dominates and hope retreats to a netherworld. This wind is a spectre, an oracle of darkness and eventual death, not easily dismissed. Once merely a whisper, its decibels intensify with the advancing years. It [...]
Innovation through Regulation
Respected publication The Economist lets loose a, to some, heretical notion:
THE most important factor that led to America’s stunning success in information technology was not the free market but government regulation.
Say what? Big, bad government regulation didn’t crush the creative impulse with stifling regulation? It was instead the most important factor [...]

bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Bailout Criticism
From Robert Greenwood at Salon.com comes a top ten list of what’s wrong with the bailout. Number 10 on the list:
Whenever you think that the Government has done things so extreme that it can’t top itself — torture, theories of presidential lawbreaking, a six-year war justified by blatantly false pretenses — it always tops [...]
Wall Street Discontent
Cliches: Wall Street votes Republican. Old white guys with lots of money are conservative.
There are some strains in that relationship. One money manager expresses his deep unhappiness with Republicans. Unhappiness so deep they have, for the first time, lost his vote.
I am a lifelong ( 51 years old) “rock-ribbed” conservative… [...]
