Scenes from the Bush Institute Debate. It's kind of funny, considering President Bush's fiscal legacy (though even that looks relatively sane compared to President Obama's).
A Sound Plan
I'd vote for this guy if I could. I am all for eliminating unnecessary government positions. Here's an interesting idea that I'm throwing out for consideration: take any executive position not explicitly defined in a state or national constitution (in other words, not a President, Vice President, Governor, etc.). We could then introduce a suicide…
Enough With Hating Congress So Much, People
There is no way that Congress is worse than Nickelback. Period.
Witness At 60
Whittaker Chambers's autobiography of a Communist agent is 60 years of age. The Hiss-Chambers trial was a legitimate watershed moment in American history. Along with Elizabeth Bentley's testimony, we found out about dozens of people in positions of some prominence (including Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter White, both of whom just happened to be at…
Yet Another Java Exploit
Another day, another Java exploit. Fortunately, the people on the Java team can be quick to fix their jaw-dropping vulnerabilities.
Newest enemy: Chip Kelly
So, for a while now, the Browns have been looking for a new coach. They got one in Rob Chudzinski, but the real favorite was Chip Kelly, formerly coach at Oregon. Chip Kelly interviewed with Philly and Cleveland, said "I'm going back to Oregon, you guys suck." Thus, the Browns end up with Chud. I…
Sundry Curmudgeonly Notes

And don't forget that the State hates efficiency; it makes the slackers look bad. Water is not a pollutant. Jay Nordlinger notes that certian people on the left are becoming honest. He considers that…
How to screw up a good argument with a bad sentence
So, Bill Livingston supports me on the whole "Hall of Fame" thing. (Sure, he didn't credit me by name, but I'm sure he meant to.) Then, he threw out this gem: It simply seems silly that someone like Tim McCarver does not have a vote, and I do. No. Tim McCarver does not deserve a…
Why? Seriously, who thinks this is a good idea?
Okay, Chud, if this guy is the answer, I'd love to know what the hell the question is. EDIT: More grim news. I guess it's FirstEnergy Field now. EDIT TO THE EDIT: Even Jamison Hensley gets it.
Surprise!
Surprisingly and unexpectedly, health care costs are rising as a result of Obamacare. Ed Morrissey has more. Some wag pointed out recently (Mark Steyn, perhaps?) that the entire premise of Obamacare is absurd: if we cannot afford health care now, the idea that we could afford health care plus a gigantic bureaucracy makes no sense at…
