Free kibbles

ECONOMY:

The illusion of recovery is fading, and aristocrats were forced to retroactively adjust down their numbers for the past few quarters.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Fossil fuel subsidies dwarf renewable energy subsidies. That's like complaining the Yankees spend more money than other baseball teams. Of course they do. Fossil fuel companies have far more money to influence the aristocrats. When are people going to wake up to the nature of government?

As expected, the government's response to the oil spill was far more damaging than the spill itself.

POLITICS:

Police clear Gore in masseuse case, but they can't clear him of the fraud he should be charged with.

MEDIA:

Can you imagine how the liberal media would howl if a right-wing power-broker paid three million dollars for his or her daughter's wedding? Funny how these liberal aristocrats are only against conspicuous consumption and carbon footprints when somebody other than one of their own is doing it. And now we know the Clintons are literally in bed with Wall Street just like the press is literally in bed with our rulers and Republicans are literally in bed with Democrats.

MISC:

In a funny reminder that government is the enemy of progress, the UK government refuses to upgrade from IE6, which is about a bazillion computer years old.

Unusual pattern of cosmic rays at south pole.

New solar spaceship produces amazingly detailed pictures of sunspots.

In essay about Trotsky, even Karl Marx "saw the state as an independent parasitic body, feeding on all the social classes engaged in the process of production." Too bad Marx's solution was create ultimate bureaucracy to run a slave state.

The role of religion in forming the classic liberal tradition.
