More MacShame?
Good old Denis MacShane - Europe Minister under Tony Blair, jailed for false accounting in 2013. He's a good egg basically, if ultra-pro-EU and a convicted criminal, but - fervent Mark Mardell fan that he is - he's not above posting a little bit of Lord Adonis-style fake BBC-bashing: "But not the BBC elites who promote Brexit ideologues". I don't believe he believes that fraudulent claim for one minute.
The American People Understand That What's Needed Now Is Disruption, NOT Status Quo Politics
The carbon-tax approach to Climate Change has been an utter and preposterous failure-- the stupidest bullshit approach to an existential calamity in the history of man. Pelosi and other establishment Democrats like it and it's becoming a fallback for Republicans now that the real world is moving away from that "market-based" non-solution. Over the weekend, *The Economist* was singing its praises: In economics, climate change is a big but straightforward example of a market failure, with a correspondingly straightforward solution. People take environmentally harmful decisions beca... more »

"What Will Your Verse Be?"
“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life! of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless- of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life? Answer.

What does it mean to speculate that growth is faster than we think?
Tyler Cowen has a new post that discusses the implications of under-measuring economic growth: Many people suggest that we are under-measuring the benefits of innovation, and thus real rates of economic growth are much higher than we think. That in turn means the gdp deflator is off and real rates of interest are considerably higher […] The post What does it mean to speculate that growth is faster than we think? appeared first on Econlib.
Please don't read this post
What do you make of this? Is it great craic (as some vile people say), or evidence that the BBC is being trashed by complete and utter social media morons? The following video features the BBC's Emma Vardy, carrying on regardless as befits a true professional - though entirely against her will - whilst some pranksters pull a prank on her. (One for the cops maybe?) What the BBC has to put up with at times is beyond disgraceful, and this video is in no way whatsoever funny. Such 'humour' simply isn't amusing. Its makers need to grow up. And anyone who laughs at it needs to grow up ... more »
Introducing The Brexit Party
What's that coming over the hill, is it a monster? No, it's Nigel Farage's newest vanity vehicle, The Brexit Party.
