Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Columbus Day Links

ACORN, Obama, Barney Frank, and Dodd are the real cause of the banking crisis. I do believe that. And it especially peeves me that so many of these "homeowners" were speculators with several houses, playing Monopoly during a bubble.

Harvard economists against Obama: Mankiw.  Krauthammer on Obama's associations.

A bankrupt California seeks a high-speed rail bond

Remember when banks used to give away toasters?

Unbreakable encryption

Iraq update: Things have changed

ACORN: A mockery of Democracy. Surber

Deepest fish caught on video. h/t, Gene Expression. I cannot figure out what they are doing.

Krugman, yes, Krugman - the NYT columnist everybody loves to hate. Marginal Rev has an appreciative post.

Obama should not relax just yet. And what's that about 40% of Americans paying no income tax? WTH? Everybody should chip in something if they want to be part of it.

Nice painting. Looks like an NC Wyeth.
Has anyone heard about the babe the Dalibama has hidden in the Caribbean? Is there any truth to the story?

Those polls are consistently polling twice as many Democrats as Republicans, according to a piece that Sean Hannity ran today. It may only be a 6 point spread, so buck up me hearties.

The current discussion about Ayers is misguided. The quintessential question about the relationship is here.
