Tells you volumes about Citi's financial condition.

And Kops wonder why they are hated.

A good example of how to turn your life around from dire circumstances.

Filed under "The Only Ones". That Kop should be fired for being an idiot.

I remember when this story first came out. Good on the AP for being offended by this enough to sue.

A call to end the bunga, for all the right reasons.

Most people can't even get the normal pronouns right. Expecting them to get these new ones right kind of requires understanding the linguistic forms of pronouns in the first place.

I think a really important point here is that power amplifies the person. It gives already existing personality dispositions and tendencies a louder voice, and increases the chances that these tendencies will be given fuller expression.

Most people don't live by a logically consistent framework, or even contemplate what it means to not be corrupt, much less what it takes to be a 'good person'. Power merely amplifies your flaws here. A good pair of examples of this is Lincoln and Ron Paul. Just look at both their records in the Senate: Lincoln supported the same crony BS he put into 'maximum go' as president. Ron Paul, in contrast, was Dr. No.

In any event, this is why Gandalf rejected the Ring: Though he had strong convictions and mindfulness about what power can do, there's always the doubt that something about your worldview could be weak enough that amplifying that with power would cause disaster from.

Damn straight. The Donald is giving 'red meat' to the republicans, why not give LRC/Mises institute style 'red meat' as Rand? It would energize both Buchanan style republicans and libertarians who loved Rand's father. I wonder if AJ has heard Scott Horton's take on Rand.

Possibly a murder and Burglary involved?

The bounties of socialism

Riots promptly began after noting that "public" funds were being grafted into the fund.

In a monkey puzzle, all the better to install the NSA's certs instead, I would imagine.

Par for the course. They get away with everything else, why not?

Thaksin's snake oil peddler has returned as finance minister.

The guy could have paved his own way and became the media he wanted to see, but instead chose violence. Very misguided, but all too common these days.

Can't go a month without agitation for regime change from the CIA's media partners.

Y'know, with bombs!

It's amazing what a free society can accomplish.

"Speedy Trial"

Darker than his parents. Will be interesting to see how the scholarship on this one pans out. Of course, the way Jesus looked is basically moot; it's the new covenant that will save humanity.

So in a nutshell, the US is going to pay Putin in order to ensure that it can continue to pay Putin.

The criminals fellate satan in an attempt to gain his "blessings".
