然而这不过是后人的发明，其目的是抹灭奴隶制作为内战起因的核心地位，以及塑造高

These killers are monstrous. They have assassinated innocent people for
something that they couldn't conceivably have had anything to do with. And
yet instead of calling them monstrous and demanding that Islamic leaders
stop inciting and approving of such behavior, We... 阅读全帖 |

The public's lasting, indeed rising, hostility to ObamaCare has come as a
surprise to the President and his fellow travelers in Congress, but then
omniscience has never been their strong suit.
In 1959, Charles Lindblom, then an associate professor of economics at Yale,
penned a highly influential article entitled "The Science of Muddling
Through." There he analyzed the workings of modern democracies and offered
a compelling explanation for why incremental policy change is a pr... 阅读全帖 |

The media have recently been so preoccupied with a congressman’s photograph
of himself in his underwear that scant attention has been paid to the fact
that Iran continues advancing toward creating a nuclear bomb, and nobody is
doing anything that is likely to stop them.
Nuclear weapons in the hands of the world’s leading sponsor of
international terrorism might seem to be something that would sober up even
the most giddy... 阅读全帖 |

A common fallacy of the class warfare rhetoric is to focus on the super rich
to draw a conclusion that will impact the much less affluent; the working
upper middle class sometimes called the 'working rich'. The drone on
corporate jets is such an example. Few small businesses use private jets.
Corporate jets are rare and already heavily scrutinized. The only issue is
whether they should be depreciated over five years or seven years as
required for commercial planes. The impac... 阅读全帖 |

Republicans seem positively gleeful these days about their prospects headed
into 2012, buoyed by a new Gallup Poll showing a handful of Republican
presidential hopefuls within striking distance of President Barack Obama as
well as some recent predictions that the GOP will hold the House and could
take the Senate.

The next time a member of the British royal family gets married, I hope they
elope and spare us all another 24/7 media orgy.
Does the "not guilty" verdict in the Casey Anthony child murder trial mean
that the jury succumbed to the confusion between "beyond a reasonable doubt"
and "beyond any conceivable doubt"? The word "reasonable" is not put in
there just for decoration.
We seem to be living in an age when nobody can be bothered to answer their
telephone, ... 阅读全帖 |
