Death Panels – Now, one young mother says her insurance company denied her coverage for chemotherapy treatment after originally agreeing to provide the fiscal support for it, but indicated it would be willing to pay for assisted suicide instead.

‘Tis fundraising week over at my place. If you’d like to chip in and help keep a blog afloat, by all means do.

Shut up, tinfoil people.

“printing off $22 trillion (I would hope) would cause the currency markets to crash (indicating there’s at least some sanity left in this world). But here’s where the juicy irony lies. We just almost quadrupled the money supply under Obama/Yellen/Bernanke.
I ask you one simple question:
Where did all that money go?
If you look at the federal reserve balance sheet and the federal budget this newly minted money went to the following places:
1. Bailing out unprofitable banks
2. Bailing out other unprofitable financial firms
3. Bailing out unprofitable people who borrowed more than they could afford
4. Bailing out people either via welfare, EBT, social security, etc., ie – parasitic people who do NOT produce a net positive economic production
5. Wars/military (where in once again, the purpose of the military is to destroy things, not make a profit)
6. Forcing the tax payer to bail out millennials from their worthless, idiotic degrees (oops, wait, that hasn’t happened…yet)
In other words, NOT ONE PENNY was an actual investment as you expect to get a positive return on investments. These were expenditures on money losing operations, money losing people, money losing wars, and the just plain losers, degenerates, and scum of our society. There was no hope of profits, earnings, dividends, cash flow, or capital gains. It was simply a pissing away of money.
When you realize this you’ll see my plan is INFINITELY more sound, logical, and sane because there’s an actual profit at the end of this $22 trillion investment. And that’s the key word – it’s an investment. If markets are as sane as they are now, and consistent, the dollar should (ironically) SURGE compared to other country’s currencies because unlike Greece, Japan, Europe, Brazil, and nearly every other country we wouldn’t be bailing out our country’s losers, but investing in global winners.”

Niall Gooch on free speech and its enemies:

Free speech, like the right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence, is a procedural virtue, which is why fanatics and revolutionaries hate it… Defenders of free speech are arguing not only for free speech as an abstraction, but a wider culture of honest debate, factual argument, respectful disagreement, and civilised co-existence with people who see the world very differently from us. Complaints about attacks on free speech can be seen as proxies for concerns about the maintenance of this culture, particularly in the context of the university.
So in a sense, free speech isn’t one thing. It’s many things. It’s a whole network of overlapping norms about the exchange of ideas. One thing that people commonly mean when they say “free speech” is “if I’m invited to give a talk somewhere I should be allowed to do so without intimidation, interruption or threat, and people who want to come and listen to me should be able to do so.”

One of these.
