Pajama Boy Is Why The Islamists Will Win
We’ve all heard of “Pajama Boy” by now and seen the tweet, in which Pajama Boy sits, wearing his tartan jammies, holding a cup of hot chocolate, and suggesting that we talk about getting health insurance. For those who have not been paying attention, here is our smirking hero: … Continue reading

Punishing Bad Thoughts
So now liberals, led by GLAAD and the Human Rights Campaign, are seeking again to punish someone for their speech and impure thoughts (as defined, of course, by the would-be punishers themselves in all their intellectual and moral brilliance). This time, the target for punishment is Duck Dynasty’s Phil … Continue reading

Clinging to Central Planning In Healthcare
The Washington Post continues its support of the central planning that is engulfing one-sixth of the world’s largest economy, also known as “Obamacare.” The latest efforts include an editorial extolling the virtues of a thing called the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) (see here) and an article attacking a … Continue reading
Liberals Will Always Lie
Lately, Americans have endured a steady and tiresome stream of lies from the Obama administration: lies about IRS targeting conservative groups, NSA surveillance practices, and the cause of the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, including the American ambassador to Libya.

The New Tories Part 2
Don’t liberals ever tire of calling people racists who disagree with them? This has been going on for five years now – ranging from Wise Boy’s (aka Ezra Klein) old JournoList forum to Chris Matthews at MSNBC to writers at The New Republic. And the practice … Continue reading
Succinct Wise Boy
So now Wise Boy a/k/a Ezra Klein adopts this single sentence from a book written by Thomas Mann and Norm Ornstein to describe our current governing crisis: The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics — it is ideolog-ically extreme; … Continue reading
The Mind Of Aaron Carroll
My experience after submitting a comment to a post on the liberal blog The Incidental Economist nicely illustrates the working of the liberal mind these days. The blog, which is well regarded within the media, claims to contemplate “healthcare with a focus on re-search,” and because it’s “evidence-based,” … Continue reading
Ignoring The Blue Whale In The Room
One of the unassailable facts of social life is that centrally directed economies never out-perform economies that organize collective activity through competitive markets. The “natural experiments” of the last century, some of which continue today (e.g., see the experiment on the Korean peninsula), easily prove the superiority … Continue reading

More Obfuscation From Ezra Klein
Wise Boy (aka Ezra Klein) is at it again: destroying the meaning of words in the best Orwellian tradition in support of statism. Wise Boy is one of those liberals who confuses matters by calling government spending “investment” or “insurance.” And he loves to equate tax expenditure … Continue reading

The Determined Statist akaThe Incidental Economist
The authors of the blog The Incidental Economist are thinking of changing its name and are asking readers for suggestions (mine is given below). Evidently, the primary authors have no formal economic training and so the name doesn’t “convey” what they do, … Continue reading
