Bill James: City of Brotherly Love is a Moral Sewer
Gee, who could’ve seen this coming? Mecklenburg Commissioner Bill James let loose one of his infamous e-mailers yesterday, in response to Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter’s reaction to flash mob riots in that city. James’ e-mail, which carried a subject line “Philly blacks attack whites in roving mobs” follows: Just like Charlotte…………………..the Moral Sewer erupts across […]
Judge Howard Manning and The Ruling Class
Reflecting on the Ruling Class, as described by Codevilla, while reading “The Death of Common Sense,’” by Philip K. Howard, one can almost hear the conversations in the cloisters as judges discuss rules for the ruled. They may rationalize these decisions as benevolent to some individual or special interest group but one will notice they […]
Live to spend, Spend to live
Vice President Joe Biden sticks his foot in his mouth so often that he’s developed athlete’s tongue. The news flash comes when Biden doesn’t say something eccentric, unpredictable, or just plain stupid.

U.S.AA+
Downgraded from AAA by Standard & Poor’s, in late action Friday night (i.e. after the markets closed). This from Reuters: “The downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the Administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government’s medium-term debt dynamics,” […]
Mount Airhead
It’s hard to believe, in these times, that people would fight to keep work out of their town. Not some of the residents of Mount Airy, North Carolina. While the Mayor is trying to lure Glenn Beck’s clothing line, 1791, to the town, Mount Airhead’s commissioners are refusing to support it. I guess they would […]
