Re: Images On Your Eyeballs (Noam Scheiber & Megan McArdle)

"Then again, he declared himself a 'proud child of the National Health Service' so maybe he just figured the Dr wasn't available."

But of course Britain logs about 25% more doctor visits per...

Re: Darwinism and Libertarianism (Matt Welch & Robert Frank)

I've had good experiences at the DMV in recent years, and used to consider it like spending a day in East Germany. They changed...for the better. And do a good, efficient job. Knee-jerk glibertarian...

Re: Double Couch Edition (Timothy Noah & Rich Lowry)

Good Lord - of course the country has a long-term deficit problem. Current debt was run up by a profligate gospel of "tax cuts uber alles" that began with Reagan, which ties the country's hands...

Re: Double Couch Edition (Timothy Noah & Rich Lowry)

Sulla - are you talking about "historical norms" base on right-wing "deficits don't matter" "wisdom."

You clowns are laughable. You have a religion. It's not been working. "Conservatives" have...

Re: Double Couch Edition (Timothy Noah & Rich Lowry)

"If spending is cut to about 18% of GDP, I wouldn't mind a phase out of the Bush tax cuts as long as all extra revenue went to debt payment."

Re: Double Couch Edition (Timothy Noah & Rich Lowry)

Does the editor of the National Review not comprehend that Warren Buffet's "salary" of $100,000 isn't likely his main income - but that his capital gains income undoubtedly dwarf what he allots...

Re: Starting a Panic (David Corn & James Pinkerton)

I won't bother to wrangle all of the nauseating anti-gay quotes, but Michele Bachmann - having at one point (2004) identified gay marriage as the issue having the biggest impact on our nation in...

Re: Starting a Panic (David Corn & James Pinkerton)

Pinkerton wrote a column during the last round claiming that Obama was linked to an admirer of Satan. That, of course, would be Saul Alinsky. Jim's sage advice was that John McCain didn't appear...

Re: Starting a Panic (David Corn & James Pinkerton)

First of all, Barro is not a reliable source on the stimulus. That's my opinion - and that of many, many respectable economists. But it doesn't matter. Because if Barro actually claims that the...

Re: Starting a Panic (David Corn & James Pinkerton)

Defend this crap. It's yours. If you want to debate the efficacy of the stimulus, fine. That's not what's at issue. What's at issue is a lie. Bald-faced, with this idiot Pinkerton trying to...

Re: Starting a Panic (David Corn & James Pinkerton)

Re: This Cutting Edge (John McWhorter & Glenn Loury)

Re: Downgrade (Mark Kleiman & Peter Cohan)
