BLS's report on Feb, 2006 mass layoffs just came out.

You have got to see this...

Unlike here, the French folk aren't taking kindly to fascism....

Well, at least, that's what one researcher says! Dr. Jack Block studied a few kids as they grew up....

Larry Kudlow, CNBC's chief economic prognosticator and cheerleader for all things anti-regulatory, has this to say in his recent piece for National Review Online:

If the polls are telling us things are so bad, why is the stock market telling us things are so good?

Well, Larry, probably because the stock market is so bad at predicting long term prosperity.  Which I'd think you would know, since it seems like one of the few clear lessons from the debacle of the 1929 stock market crash.

Keeping America and Americans safe.  That's what George Bush, Dick Cheney, and their think-alikes claim is their first priority.  And that sure sounds good if you're an American living in an America where terrorists have flown massive, fuel-laden airplanes into populated buildings in two of the country's major cities.

John Boener, the new House majority leader, has his privately funded travel over the last few years detailed in a report on MSNBC, based on information in the recent report from the Center for Public Integrity.

The Reading Eagle is reporting yet another example of Clear Channel finding a non-political explanation of their "business decision" to refuse political advertising.  For some reason, their refusals seem to always involve rejecting ads that criticize Republicans, conservatives, or issues those two groups advocate.

One sure way to tell that something--a movement, a television show, a personality--is waning: it trades in any substance it had for  flash and/or flourish.  Speaking of which, have you noticed that the sights of  our favorite frothing Republicans seem to have been considerably lowered?

Proceed cautiously. You're about to see a lesbian admit something shocking! The faint of heart may wish to turn back now. Okay, you asked for it. Ahem. I love real men! You can reread that as often as you like, it'll still say that I -- a big ol' lesbian -- love real men. No, I don't want to sleep with them or marry them or take them home to mother. That's where the lesbian part comes in. But I definitely love them in a respectful, platonic, completely lesberrific kind of way.

So, you can imagine how really angry I get about nonsense theories like that being proposed by Harvard's Harvey C. Mansfield about how there's some sort of crisis of masculinity. The solution to this "crisis?" Let's bring back the bygone days of "manly men" who punched people and kept women in their place. This guy wouldn't know a real man if he bit him.... okay I don't know if real men would go around biting each other on the ass for no reason. (This is not to say that men who do like to bite other men on the ass aren't real men.)
