Steve Landsburg discusses how significant technological progress has been (and the fact that the means we use to measure per capita income significantly understates the benefits of such progress): As far as the quality of the goods we buy, try picking up an electronics catalogue from, oh, say, 2001 and ask yourself whether there's anything there you'd want to buy. That was the year my friend Ben spent $600 for a 1.3-megapixel digital camera that weighed a pound and a half. What about… [read post]

This poll of American Muslims, conducted by the Pew Charitable Trust, is disturbing in many ways, although it does suggests American Muslims as a group hold much better views than Muslims in other countries. While nearly 80 percent of U.S. Muslims say suicide bombings of civilians to defend Islam can not be justified, 13 percent say they can be, at least rarely. "It is a hair-raising number," said Radwan Masmoudi, president of the Washington-based Center for the Study of Islam and… [read post]

VDH defends Rumsfeld: Here is the record of Donald Rumsfeld. (1) Tried to take a top-heavy Pentagon and prepare it for the wars of the postmodern world, in which on a minute's notice thousands of American soldiers, with air and sea support, would have to be sent to some god-awful place to fight some savagery—and then be trashed live on CNN for doing it; (2) less than a month after 9/11 he organized the retaliation against al Qaeda in the heart of primordial Afghanistan that… [read post]

In Why Originalism Is So Popular, Eric Posner, who is something of a rightwing nonoriginalist, emphasizes what I regard as two of the major criticisms of many originalist theories: First, that originalism requires a workable constitutional amendment system, but our system does not produce amendments. Second, that many nonoriginalist decisions have very strong popular support (and therefore overruling them would be problematic). In my own work with John McGinnis, we have attempted to address these… [read post]

I think it is possible for them to take the House, but the Senate would be much harder. From a comment to Megan McCardle's site: Let's assume that the GOP holds all of their seats (which according to recent polling looks likely), then the GOP would have to run the board (and get very lucky with candidate recruitment). But if the right candidates are chosen by the GOP and if the Dems continue their current trajectory, the following Dem held seats could be at risk.California… [read post]

according to the New York Times headline. The body of the story mentions tens of thousands, and a sea of protesters. That is, I suppose, as far as the Times can get itself to go in reporting. Well, that's close. According to other reports, its millions, but what's a few zeros when politics are involved? You know, Obama wanted to be a consequential president like Reagan. He may just get his wish. It is quite an… [read post]

These words uttered by Winston Smith in 1984 come to mind these days. In fact, my thoughts are increasingly drifting to 1984 as I contemplate the next four years. While I have not been supporting John McCain, no one should mistake that as any kind of embrace of Obama and Pelosi. I remember well the election of Bill Clinton in 1992, with the two houses controlled by Democrats. The Democrats were poised to pass national health insurance, the media was behind… [read post]

There are so many reasons. The people are old, since birthrates are so low. The politics are old, since they missed Thatcher and Reagain. And, it turns out, the businesses are old as well: Microsofts don't grow well in Europe. [read post]

The Telegraph reports: However, Russian scientists working at the [Iranian nuclear] plant have become so concerned by Iran's apparent disregard for nuclear safety issues that they have lobbied the Kremlin directly to postpone activation until at least the end of the year, so that a proper assessment can be made of the damage caused to its computer operations by Stuxnet. The Iranian government is bitterly opposed to any further delay, which it would regard as another blow to national pride on a… [read post]

My own views of Lebron's decision are a bit different than others. I think he should have gone to Chicago -- with Rose and Boozer and the others, he would have been the leader who could have led them to a championship. Going to Miami shifts the payoffs: If he wins, people will say, of course, they had the players. If he loses, he will be seen as not even being able to win with other superstars. Of course, I can understand him wanting to play with Wade and Bosh -- I am sure it will be fun and I… [read post]
