There was a really good post over on EconLog by David Henderson on Energy Independence and how not only is it a pipe dream (it's a fungible commodity) but it is a bad idea. As Henderson saidEnergy independence is no more desirable than coffee independence, banana independence, or car independence.-Samuel Augustus Maverick

There has been much chatter today on the conservative blogsphere about this article in slate by Jacob Weisberg. He has to jump through a number of rhetorical hoops to reach his conclusion. Needless to say, I don't find him very convincing, at all. Here are three nice refutations. I'll update with more as I find them.-Samuel Augustus MaverickUPDATE: Here is a paper from Feeman White (h/t Will

Remember the plumber that Obama told he wanted to "spread the wealth around"? Well the guy(s) over at Family Security Matters have an interview with him. He seem to still believe in that whole do it yourself American mentality- Samuel Augustus Maverick

Senator Obama (or "that one" as you will) said that health care was a Right. What kind of health care? How much? He doesn't really go into any of those messy "details". Next can we make Yachts a Right? I mean those are fun. - Samuel Augustus Maverick

When Barack Obama talked about government scientists creating the computer, was he confused about Charles Babbage, or was he talking about the creation of the internet. One is relevant, one insane.Also, if John McCain would refer to Barack Obama as "That one" for the rest of the campaign, that would make me very happy.-Toki

If you are one of those people that is already saying I told you so about the bailout plan and blames George W. Bush for the stock market and all your financial woes because the market has gone down since the House passed the bailout, then you are probably not looking in the right place for informationI cannot support government's involvement in private affairs, but from an economic discipline I

I found this over at newsmax:In a letter dated June 25, 2008, the FEC asked the Obama campaign to verify a series of $25 donations from a contributor identified as “Will, Good” from Austin, Texas. Mr. Good Will listed his employer as “Loving” and his profession as “You.” A Newsmax analysis of the 1.4 million individual contributions in the latest master file for the Obama campaign discovered

I think that the bailout was/is a bad idea, for a number of different reasons that I will expound upon in a later post (I also expect that my co-bloggers will weigh in on this discussion with varying levels of hatred). For now, I leave you with this video from the Cato institute.Samuel Augustus Maverick

Harry Reid manages to push stocks even lower. We got this from Instapundit:A hedge-fund reader emails: "Reid, Schumer, and Pelosi are widely assumed to be stoking a financial Reichstag fire that would be a win-win for the permanent government. Conventional wisdom holds that economic chaos benefits the "out" presidential party, of course. Destruction of private wealth increases dependency on the
