Why Are There So Many Pervs in Politics?
I’m seriously asking — what is it that draws such people to public life? One would think that a person with secrets would want to avoid the scrutiny that comes with elected office. This isn’t just a GOP phenomenon, either. Though it’s usually a safe bet that any report of yet another pervy pol will […]

Economics is Bullshit
Spending some peanuts for Universal Healthcare is bad for the economy, causes inflation, risks making workers (more) lazy. But throwing a couple of billion dollars at defense contractors for useless garbage is good for the GDP. Microsoft’s augmented reality Hololens goggles are getting a rough ride in tests by the US Army, according to internal […]
