Progress in the Storm
Unemployment ratchets sharply higher in May, and critical legislation continues to get watered down in Congress by politicians on the take.  Florida shuts down summer school for lack of funding - what a country!  Right wingers grow more shrill the more they are opposed.  Still, progress is occurring as the nation goes through a big readjustment.  Even suburban developers are starting to put in organic farms as their centerpiece.  Take a break and a trip and enjoy yo...

Crowding Out
Leo discusses the use of vast amounts of capital for, at best, highly questionable projects like more resorts in the Nevada desert and stadiums on the North Texas plain.  With huge deficits facing the US and a constrained capital account, why did we make the choices that we did over the past decades?  One thing is for sure, and that is it won't be easy to undo overnight....

Silent Mentors
As the economy tumbles itself about, Leo spots an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal that may prove to be the underlining solution for which we are so desperately searching.  The article speaks of Doctors in Taiwan who deeply understand the gift of Cadavers for medical research and pass this on to the next generation of students.  Leo contemplates that if you have a society that cares deeply about health, you get a good health insurance system.  If we desire a society...

Community Organizer
In an effort to combat accusations of lack of experience, VP nominee Sarah Palin took some swings at the concept of Community Organizer in her speech at the Republican Convention.  In the meantime, poetic justice chimed in as the Houston City Council voted on the ordinance to set aside $1 million of revenue from the sale of recycled commodities as a dedicated annual fund that can be used for a pilot program and a recycling education and outreach effort; a result, we believe, born ou...
