Tax Cuts for the Wealthy Create Jobs – Or do They?

WMG! OMG!

Social Darwinism, survival of the fittest – history is full of examples of companies that didn’t change with the times and went to corporate heaven. Blockbuster video is a recent example – Netflix changed the video rental landscape almost independently.

Leave it Up or Take it Down: the Mojave Cross

Leave it Up or Take it Down: the Mojave Cross

Why the hell did this become such a big issue in the first place? Or for that matter, why do any of these Establishment cases, be it a cross, the Ten Commandments, Nativity Scenes, etc. become such big issues? Personally, I think it’s retarded – and not just on the side of the ACLU – the morons who make a ruckus out of this sort of thing are equally to blame.
