I’m liking these “Interesting Reads” posts… the Walter Williams piece here was a particularly good one. He totally nails it… and it’s sad that others cannot.

Get this. In the new report defending the 2009 economic “stimulus,” the Orwellian trolls in the admin. invoke none other than Bastiat.

They even cite Bastiat in defense of the fiscal stimulus. Page 33; read it and weep.

Although the monkeys don’t seem to come out to play….. they’re probably reading instead. What’s wrong with them?

Spinolator – the Admin is chief monkey and it is hard to replace his leadership. We need folks like you to step up to the plate. He is offering posting rights to all and sundry. Go forth, find something you are interested in, post it, and stir up some shit flinging.

Nothing to do with the above, but I will feel free to take posts like these as ‘Open Threads’ (forgive me, DailyKos was the first blog I read back in the day. Think I visit there once a year these days–just to see what those crackheads are up to).

Ukraine has been firmly in my interest as of late. Been watching this for the past few hours:

Had been kinda on a search for an English translated stream, eventually gave up, been watching that one (muted) and listening to music. The Future Sound of London late-90s stuff has seemed to fit the bill pretty well (tho soon I will need to find something else).

But yeah love the idea of the PM reading list. Gives night owls something to throw shit around about. May even work my way down tonight’s list should watching Ukraine burn in widescreen get boring. (related link:

Hmm,… appears the pigs have the water cannon fired back up and might actually get the fires out this time.
