Congress Is a Joke

May 13, 2006 at 09:56 PM

Excellent article on how the general public has no clue on even basic economics. Low supply plus high demand is going to mean higher prices, and no lame boycotts or politicians can fix it. They only make things worse.

If Congress does something to force prices down, that'll just increase demand which means the prices will just rise back up.

Texas Approves Gay Marriage Ban

November 08, 2005 at 10:47 PM

I don't know when this happened, but as a moderately conservative and Republican voting Texan, I can't believe such a vast majority of people are against it. How does it affect you? Why do you even care what other people do with their lives? Is there any reason this law is passing so easily other than homophobia?

Long Island high school cancels the prom

November 07, 2005 at 10:16 PM

I surprisingly agree with the school's decision after reading (actually listening) to the whole story. And they're not cancelling the whole thing, just saying that the school will no longer officially sponsor it.

In the midst of this horrible tragedy is there really a need to call things a blog just to be in on the latest trends? It's just a running timeline of hurricane updates.

Right and Left wing blogs are both crap

July 10, 2005 at 08:59 PM

And Republicans and Democrats are both equally corrupt and moronic. Being a relatively near the middle conservative who is apathetic about half the BS issues is much better.

UT wants to bulldoze Player's for hotel

June 27, 2005 at 12:14 PM

Damn shame, UT wants to build a hotel and conference center and they want to bulldoze Player's to do it. It would be a shame, Player's has great burgers and is an easy walk from campus. I can't really think of any other place they could put something like that though.
