Paul Krugman's column in today's New York Times is on the stimulus and the deficit, and how Wall Street is scaring the Obama administration into not doing the right thing with a second stimulus to create jobs. This article from Saturday's Times indicates that there's now a consensus among economists that the stimulus was a good idea (and that more would be better). (Today's Times , however, has an...

http://www.mediafire.com/?wfnmftj2ymk A very fine album, ‘Little Amber Bottles’ delivers much, especially to those who perhaps view their world from a more jaundiced perspective albeit with a twinkle in their eye. It's rock music that takes in country, folk and blues. “If our first album was about life throwing you in a ditch and thinking about why these horribly sad things happen,...

There never seems to be the right words that could express the gratitude I feel for our veterans. My father, long gone, was a veteran. For those of you who have read me for a while know his story and know that the Army literally saved his life. I love our military from the bottom of heart. Jim Bell sent me this from the Lufkin Daily News. I think it expresses what so many feel. A soldier who wonders,...

I'm delighted to see that John Miller is sticking it to The Man by self-publishing his new novel, The First Assassin . This kind of thing used to be called a "vanity press" and, as Derb wrote eight years ago when he did the same thing: The names of the vanity presses are very well known to literary editors, book reviewers and the like, and anything that comes into a newspaper or magazine...

(By JOHN MILLER, Associated Press Writer) An Idaho junior hockey team was banished temporarily from a city ice rink after players engaged in a game of "strip hockey" - shedding a piece of uniform every time a practice shot missed its mark. As redress for last Wednesday's incident, Boise forbid the Idaho Junior Steelheads team from using Idaho Ice World for four days; one 17-year-old player...

Scott Johnson and John Miller have exposed the fatuousness of Rocco Landesman’s claim that President Obama is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to write them really well since Lincoln. If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer...
