• A true believer

  
  right turns — Authority: 121
  It is good, every now and again, to be reminded of how stupid, or evil, or both, some people can be. Case in point is one Iraqi ex-pat by the name of Andy Shallal, who established the lefty hangout Busboys and Poets. Shallal has put up images of Che and Lenin in his eating establishment. Two mass murderers; ...

• Yes, and we eat babies, too

  
  right turns — Authority: 121
  If they are going to send idiots like Eleanor Holmes Norton to be their non-voting delegate in Congress, then it’s best for the country that they don’t get real congressmen or senators, who could do some real damage. “They” being the citizens of the People’s Republic of Columbia, otherwise known as our ...

• The Iraq war was all about oil

  
  Tim Worstall — Authority: 621
  Or so we are interminably told. Public costs of the war, private profits for the big oil companies . When Iraq decided to auction off contracts to operate its fields, the oil majors were shocked to find that instead of the usual $4 per barrel they wanted for their trouble, Iraq was only prepared to pay $2. That ...

• The list of idiots

  
  Tim Worstall — Authority: 621
  This is a useful list to use for future reference. They’re calling for a windfall tax on the banks. Now, just at the moment, we’d like banks to shore up their capital ratios. Both to pay for the losses they’ve already made and also to pay for the losses to come (and yes, we know they’re out there too). ...

• Today’s Ritchieisms

  
  Tim Worstall — Authority: 621
  Quite glorious today, as usual:This is outright abusive planning deliberately engineered by a bank. The answer is simple: such accounts must be assessed on an arising basis, not a payment basis as is used for interest now. The law has to be changed in the Pre-Budget Report.Well done Ritchie, you’ve just killed zero ...

• Another barking moonbat on the internet

  
  Tim Worstall — Authority: 621
  Sigh.Liberalism does not, cannot, consider the possibility that restrictions on certain human behavior might sometimes be appropriate.Sure it does: whenever your freedoms and liberties lead you to do something which either damages another or their own freedoms and liberties and their exercise restrictions are not just ...

• Really Polly?

  
  Tim Worstall — Authority: 621
  History may mark this as the moment when financiers passed beyond democracy, thumbing their nose while rubbing our nose in it. How puny the G20 deal looks, delaying bonuses for three years when everyone wanted them banned.Everyone wanted them banned? Shall we amend that slightly to “everyone I know” wanted them ...

• Trafigura, Carter-Ruck and Stupidity

  
  Longrider — Authority: 115
  Plenty has already been said about Trafigura and their lap dogs solicitors ’ attempts to stifle the press – and, indeed, public access to questions in parliament. But, why not add my little bit to the embarrassment of these self-righteous arseholes? In this time of Internet access and bloggery, you would ...

• Newsflash for Caroline Lucas!

  
  Tim Worstall — Authority: 621
  It goes without saying that wherever you are in the world, you should have access to productive employment and decent work for decent pay. But for many people, especially those living in poorer countries, this simply isn’t a reality.Because poor people in poor countries are poor! And our definition of someone ...

• More Chuckles

  
  Longrider — Authority: 115
  Another stray link that showed up today in my stats was this from that daft, washed up old class warrior, Bob Piper – yes, I know, it’s best not to take any notice as it only encourages them. But it did cause me to smile, so I thought I’d share. Oh, to see ourselves as other see us, eh? Well, why not return ...

• Conspiracy Theory Du Jour

  
  Longrider — Authority: 115
  Ah, well, back in France and looking at the interweb. Following on from the independent blogging thing, there is an article in CiF that puts me right on one thing – the FTC’s guidelines are already in place this side of the Atlantic. So now I know… I have to say, while I think disclosure is right and ...

• Nothing like a liberal

  
  Tim Worstall — Authority: 621
  In my view smokers who currently stand outside a pub or restaurant having a fag should have to stand at least several yards away from the front door, to save the 79% of us who don’t smoke from breathing in their smoke when we go in or out. We should curtail the rights of the [...]

• Eh?

  
  Tim Worstall — Authority: 621
  Compass:It could start by imposing a windfall tax on energy companies profits, coupled with price controls to ensure the cost of such a tax is not passed onto consumers. In fact why not impose a windfall tax for the next 5-10 years to guarantee these firms stump up the cash for all the investment needed?What? [...]

• Bit sad for an academic to say this

  
  Tim Worstall — Authority: 621
  The modern student existence is a far cry from the ‘fleapit’ one portrayed in the 1980s student sitcom The Young Ones and more like the spendthrift life enjoyed in Friends, according to Professor Kevin Sharpe, an expert in renaissance studies at Queen Mary, University of London.Writing in the Times Higher ...

• David Cronin’s nonsense again

  
  Tim Worstall — Authority: 621
  David Cronin loves writing about the minutiae of the EU’s decision making. So much so that he never actually lifts his eyes to look at the larger picture:The trend whereby small farmers are squeezed out of business can be traced back to 1992.He fails to understand that this is a good thing.It’s not all that [...]

• Leo Hickman Surpasses Himself

  
  Longrider — Authority: 115
  You can usually rely on the Guardian’s tribe of AGW alarmists to write some amusing twaddle, but today Hickman is in danger of passing the parody singularity, disappearing over the event horizon and vanishing up his own black hole. Apparently, those of us who are sceptical of his screeching, wailing, gnashing of ...

• They Really Don’t Get it

  
  Longrider — Authority: 115
  Joan Smith bewails the announcement by Tracey Emin that she is planning to abandon Albion in favour of the old enemy as a consequence of the 50% marginal tax rate. At last there’s some good news on migration: up to 25,000 people are thinking about leaving Britain in the next few months, led by the artist ...

  Tim Worstall — Authority: 621
  One Murphy R asks this question:Might it be small really is beautiful?It’s in relation to this:Mr Jonsson has already become embroiled in controversy after it emerged that KPMG Iceland had been responsible for investigating events leading up to the collapse of Glitnir, despite the fact that his son was chief ...

• Nuclear fools

  
  right turns — Authority: 121
  Bishop N.T. “Tom” Wright is a liberal Anglican. That’s not exactly redundant, but pretty close. Theologically, as best I understand it, Bishop Wright is a stalwart defender of the Trinity, which puts him to the far right in Church of England circles. Politically, though, he seems to be a bit of a lefty ...
