Big Business & Big Government -- By: Jonah Goldberg
The Corner (Free subscription) | 2 hours ago
A few readers think I didn't make the case of liberal symbosis with big business forcefully enough. Maybe so. There's only so much you can do in a 750 word column. For those who want a longer discussion, I refer you to my cover story for NR from last April. Big excerpt for non-subscribers (aka "fools") here . Subscribers might also check out Kevin Williamson's "Losing Gordon Gekko"...

"Sent from my iPhone" -- By: Jonah Goldberg
The Corner (Free subscription) | 3 hours ago
About 5-10 times a day I get blank emails from different folks that simply say "Sent from my iPhone." Is this a glitch of the iPhone, NRO or some dastardly Psyop I'm unaware of?

Before Your Very Eyes! -- By: Jonah Goldberg
The Corner (Free subscription) | 4 hours ago
From a reader: From CNN.com this morning. "Gore: Climate changing before our eyes" Wow! Such profound wisdom from the Man-Bear-Pig. Doesnt the weather literally "change before our eyes" every single day? It was 24 degrees this morning here in Dallas, and, if the weatherman can be trusted, it will hit 44 by midday. Maybe Gore is on to something here? LOL You know what they say about...

On Data Samples, Con'td -- By: Jonah Goldberg
The Corner (Free subscription) | 5 hours ago
From a reader: Jonah As an engineer in experimental R&D. To say the least, I am scientifically inclined. Your reader points out quite correctly the problem of small data sets. However, there are two other problems: the dirty little secrets of modeling: errors compound and validation is vital. The sad truth is that every data manipulation you do makes the data worse. Instrument errors, sampling...

Party of the Fat Cats -- By: Jonah Goldberg
The Corner (Free subscription) | 7 hours ago
Here's the last graf from my column today: My biggest objection is not to what isn’t true about the claim that the Right is the handmaiden to big business, it’s to what is true. Too many Republicans think being pro-business is the same as being pro-market. They defend the status quo against bad reforms and think they’ve defended economic freedom. The status quo stinks. And the sooner...

On Data Samples -- By: Jonah Goldberg
The Corner (Free subscription) | 7 hours ago
From a reader: Jonah, I am not scientifically inclined, but the thing that has always bothered me the most about the whole global warming / climate change debate is the notion that any scientist is willing to make predictions based on such an infinitesimally small data set. Even if “the record goes back a thousand years" (which itself is a dubious claim), the planet is estimated to...

Friedman Tackles Climategate -- By: Jonah Goldberg
The Corner (Free subscription) | 8 hours ago
I have a piece for the magazine due by Friday (on Richard Ely! Who's he? Wait for it.), so I'm going to be posting lightly today. But everyone keeps sending me Tom Friedman's column . This is not an omnibus response, merely a few thoughts. First, as a couple readers noted, Friedman talks about climategate as if it's something everyone knows about. I think he's probably right. But shouldn't that say...

Ramesh -- I am so glad to hear you say that. This morning the Fair Jessica said, "I have to say this Ezra Klein op-ed is good." I raised my eyebrows, but I read it. And I agreed! I was wondering what you thought about it. I assume your disagreement resides in the realm of "and therefore what."
