So maybe that reported Obama-Blago meeting never happened? I'm totally confused now, but Volokh's timeline helps clear it up.
Related, Mad or Bad? Warnings about Blago
Does time exist? New Scientist (h/t, Flares). I don't think it "exists," but it sure is a good practical concept, especially at dinner time.
This report about the Sphinx is old news, isn't it? Yes, it was jungly there in those days.
Re Greece:
"This is a country with a state that is in a shambles, a police force in disarray, mediocre universities that serve as hotbeds of rage instead of knowledge and a shattered health care system. It is also on the brink of financial ruin."
Ann Coulter on the Minnesota vote
A "Green Bible"? Good grief.
The House roll call for the bailout vote. As Betsy says:
Oh, yeah. These companies have been losing market share for decades and haven't been able to restructure to meet new circumstances. But in three months they're supposed to change all that and make sure that we have a "viable automotive industry?" And all for a relatively cheap $15 billion? Do you really believe that Pelosi has that sort of magic wand?
And more, from Prof. Macey via Tiger:
We need to encourage market solutions -- not bureaucratic ones -- as the best strategy for addressing the corporate governance failures we face today. Hedge funds and activist investors like Carl Icahn are the solution, not the problem. The market for corporate control should be deregulated and the SEC's restrictions on all sorts of equity trading should be lifted at once.
And more, from Boudreaux:
A government bailout of the Big Three keeps huge amounts of productive inputs in firms that can't use them efficiently. Forcing taxpayers to subsidize the continued employment of gargantuan quantities of raw materials, labor and capital goods in unproductive pursuits is a recipe for economic stagnation. The popular and politically convenient myth has matters backwards: The bigger the unprofitable firm, the more vital it is that it be allowed to fail.
And, predictably, Big Academia wants some bailout money too. Gimme.
And, last but not least: Bailing out Big Cheese
Update: Auto bailout is dead. The unions wouldn't budge. Money for nothin' and the chicks for free...
