Republican Debate 01/16/12

A few brief thoughts about the Republican debate tonight: Bain Capital is boring. It’s the sort of “controversy” that makes me want to tune out the first time I hear it.

Too Big To Fail?

Is anyone too big to fail? Many think so. I heard a professor say that the debate over the 2008 Wall Street bailout was the most boring discussion he had ever heard. “Of course,” he told us, “the bailout was the right thing to do. Without it the financial system would have collapsed.” As usual, [...]

Onward Christian Feminists

To promote a woman to bear rule, superiority, dominion, or empire above any realm, nation, or city, is repugnant to nature, contumelious to God, a thing most contrary to his revealed will and approved ordinance, and finally it is the subversion of good order, and of all equity and justice. – John Knox Evangelicals are [...]
