From The Poor Man Institute for Freedom and Democracy and a Pony: A sound monetary policy is vital to a healthy and strong nation. It is too important to be entrusted to the whims of political appointees and unworldy academic theories. At the same time, it must reflect our national spirit of independence, our playful and optimistic nature, and, most of all, our belief in a “culture of life”. The gold standard is a relic of Old Europe. America must adopt the kitten standard, making kittens the standard unit of account. And every time you scoop the litter box, you get a little richer.

Riggsveda: Things are starting to converge: the war, the criminality of everyday business on the Hill and in the Oval Office, the rape and pillage of our labor laws and environmental and public health regulations, the theft of votes, the force-feeding of poisonous presidential appointments aimed at bringing down the very systems that have protected us, however imperfectly, from boardroom sharks and wealthy conscienceless thugs. It's putting me into an activist state of mind I haven't felt since the protests of 1969 and 1970, remembering the fearlessness of those days. And to watch Cindy Sheehan taking a stand down south recalls those days, as she attracts others to her vigil by the sheer determination and bravery of her stance. Nothing will change until people start speaking up.
Arthur Silber administers a brutally frank smackdown of Michelle Malkin. It's a thoughtful, reasoned, thoroughly accurate explannation that follows up on a previous post, which was more vitriolic but no less accurate: I was indeed astoundingly generous and unjustifiably kind when I referred to Michelle Malkin as a vicious, lying, racist, hypocritical bitch the other day. The truth is that she is a deeply disgusting, unforgivable, and vile piece of shit.After you finish, be sure to read Greg Saunders at This Modern World, who moderates a debate between Michelle Malkin and Michelle Malkin.

"Just like in 2001, Bush will be spending August in Texas. I guess literally vacationing in Hell would be kind of a give-away."
