A place to ponder the myriad things that interest me.and maybe you. Redefinition and Wollstonecraft’s Dilemma. That while the well-to-do, active in political life have a “political obligation” to the state, the masses simply have a “natural duty to obey” (Pateman 67). Part of this natural duty is a resignation to the tedium of daily routine and political inactivity for the good of the state. All the while, through all these activities, resides to some great degree within the Public sphere. Private sphere...

A place to ponder the myriad things that interest me.and maybe you. Karl Rove is the Worst Dancer in the World. As if things weren't bad enough for Karl Rove, he had to unveil his dance skills, or lack-there-of, at last night's Radio and TV Correspondents' Dinner last night in Washington. Now that's funny. Someone really linked here? On Sunday BL and I made our first of hopefully many summer trips out to. Granted, we were only in middle school at the time, but wow! Someone really linked here? Portland's ...

A place to ponder the myriad things that interest me.and maybe you. In Economic News Today. Yeah, yeah, the Dow, the S&P, and Nasdaq. All tumbled 3-4 percent today on the heels of a Chinese market sell-fest and Greenspan (Really, how does this man still wield so much power? Thunk a little picture of a Pittsburgh Pirate could ever be worth so much. That's right, the Honus. A lot of someones) has enough cash lying around to spend it on a piece of cardboard with a photo on it that came out of a cigarrette.

A place to ponder the myriad things that interest me.and maybe you. Letters to the Editor. This little nugget of.well.let's just call it a nugget, comes to us from the Bedford Gazette letter to the editor section today. Gotta love my hometown paper:. It seems wisdom in this country has been replaced with an unhealthy reverence of knowledge. But knowledge is only facts and figures, a tool not the answer". On the first read, this just makes you cringe, doesn't it? What do you think? Mr Sharma estimates tha...

Oxymoronic Philosopher: Taxation and Republican Talking Points
http://moronicphilo.blogspot.com/2008/06/taxation-and-republican-talking-points.html
A place to ponder the myriad things that interest me.and maybe you. Taxation and Republican Talking Points. On her show yesterday morning, Diane Rehm. A vote for Barack Obama amounts to a vote to raise the aggregate tax burden on the tax-paying population. Irrespective of the portion of the population that is asked to bear this burden, Cole claims, increased taxes will stagnate economic growth. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A place to ponder the myriad things that interest me.and maybe you. The State of the Union is Strong? At least according to the president it is. Even with his approval rating at an all time low and with just 26% of Ame. Ricans feeling that the country is headed in the right direction, Mr. Bush trudged on tonight in his State of the Union address. The smirk, the bravado, and the style wavered only slightly. Of course it's the path we're on right now, no matter what the truth of the matter is. And I don...

A place to ponder the myriad things that interest me.and maybe you. Perusing the internets today (it was a long and slow day in the office), I came across the page of Bryan Caplan. An economics professor at GMU (a hotbed of Austrian free-market folks on the. Scene). It appears that Prof Caplan has a new book out called The Myth of the Rational Voter. These are clear examples of ignorance, by the market, or the greater good. But what of rationality in decision making? Someone really linked here? He gave m...

A place to ponder the myriad things that interest me.and maybe you. The Grad Student Job Search. So it's been well over a month since I last posted, and even then I'm not sure if there were any readers still left in these parts, but I figured I'd give this a shot anyways. I'm in need of some sage guidance, or at least some new ideas or funny stories, so if you've got anything at all to say, please pipe in. Hour per week research assistantship. So, my remaining (if there are any) wise and worldly. Lawers,...

A place to ponder the myriad things that interest me.and maybe you. Do conservatives not realize that they lost the election on the economy? Apparently the answer is "no," as we see this from WaPo today. A group of us Republican senators are working on coming up with an alternative package that I would hope would have some elements to it that Americans would support," said McCain, who lost the November 4 U.S. election to Obama, a Democrat.
