The Gender Pay Gap
Liberals, such as those at the New Republic, are still clinging to that 77% statistic when writing about the gender pay gap, you know, the one where liberals claim that women earn only 77% of what men earn, implying discrimination (see here).

Diversity At Google
Google recently felt the need to “go public” by posting some employment numbers showing the gender and racial/ethnic makeup of its workforce (see here). As it turns out, 30% of Google’s workforce are women, 2% are black, 3% are Hispanic, and 30% are Asian. Google claims that this is … Continue reading
Competition Deniers Strike Again
The recent agreement in principle between Partners Healthcare (a hospital system in the Boston area) and Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley is a good example of how liberals view competition and go about enforcing the antitrust laws, which is to say they don’t enforce them at … Continue reading

E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post seems to have a thing for Elizabeth Warren, the wannabe Native American junior senator from Massachusetts. Dionne never tires of praising or defending Warren, even if it means setting up and knocking down a straw man, … Continue reading
