Jon Chait On the Spiro Ted Agnewization of Hillary Rodham Clinton (Brad DeLong)
posted on Sun, 11 May 2008 17:11:19 -0700
Here is Chait on the mysterious transformation of Bill and Hillary Clinton into clones of Spiro Ted Agnew: Let Them Eat Arugula: The dying days of the Hillary Clinton campaign have brought the breathtaking spectacle of a candidate lashing out at every element of public life that has nourished her career. The über-wonk has disparaged economists and expertise. The staunch ally of black America has attacked her opponent for lacking support of “working, hard-working Americans, white Americans.” P

Education in Azeroth

I love when I get to write about whatever I feel like. Last week, I wrote a paper for a philosophy class about the tremendous benefits of playing WoW. Here it is. Don’t Plagiarize. Do show it to naysayers. With over ten million active accounts, Blizzard’s World of Warcraft is the most played massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG). An MMORPG is a game in which each character can interact with each other character in the online universe. A person, the player, may have many char

The Unscientific Basis of Global Warming Forecast Models
posted on Sun, 11 May 2008 16:44:56 -0700
The National Center Policy Analysis (http://www.ncpa.org/) has made public a scientific study explaining how the long term climate forecast models cited by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its Fourth Assessment Report (here) grievously violated accepted scientific principles of forecasting. The study sponsored by the NCPA critically critiques the forecasting methodology relied upon in the IPCC report. It is entitled “Global Warming: Expert’s Opinions versus Scientific Fo

Budget 2008-09, Part 7
posted on Sun, 11 May 2008 16:29:53 -0700
The politics of envy is one of the ALP’s specialities. We see it with the increase in car taxes and in raising the medicare levy surcharge threshold - which will raise costs for all people. Fewer customers = higher charges for everyone else: The Sunday Telegraph can reveal the Prime Minister personally wrote to the industry umbrella group only days before the 2007 poll to re-assure them he would maintain existing arrangements with the levy in government. Yesterday, however, Treasurer Wayne Sw
Evolution of morality
posted on Sun, 11 May 2008 16:06:44 -0700
In my university days I would often have philosophical debates with religious friends. One of them once tried to convince that, if there was no God, there would be no reason to “be good” - that the root of morality had to be spiritual in nature. As reasons for believing in Gods go, that one seems to be a particularly bad one. Most atheists don’t go around raping and murdering people. My friend presented me with a thought experiment. “Suppose you could kill someone you didn’t like, in such a w

So much for being economic conservatives. The Government is doing what ever good socialist does, targets cars and their owners through higher taxes - this time an increase in the ‘luxury’ car tax: “We’re very disappointed that once again the car industry has been singled for taxation on so-called luxury goods. If there’s a scheme to tax wealthy individuals, it should be applied across a range of industries,” said Ateco spokesman Edward Rowe. The increase will also drive up non-luxury car pric
