Did someone say BP?   Ah well, I must weigh in, though [...]]]></description>

Although it has felt like summertime for several weeks now, it seems right to officially acknowledge the season. Baseball spring training is now &#8216;way back in the distant past, when I baptize my change of seasons from bummer to summer, and it won&#8217;t be long now until the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This quote is from an opinion piece in today&#8217;s WSJ by Martin Feldstein. His thesis is that Obamacare is designed to achieve cost savings through rationing of health care.
In the British national health service, a government agency approves only those expensive treatments that add at least one Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY) per £30,000 (about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Columnist Peggy Noonan&#8217;s latest, Common Sense May Sink ObamaCare, suggests that voters have been asking themselves questions regarding the direction of healthcare reform in its current form.
I think the plan is being slowed and may well be stopped not by ideology, or even by philosophy in a strict sense, but by simple American common sense. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So said British historian Robert Payne of the United States of America in 1949. Now, over 60 years later, I wonder if this was written at the peak of our national power and that we&#8217;ve been declining ever since. What do you amateur historians think? What other societies or nations might be in competition for [...]]]></description>

Noonan tells about how the New York Stock Exchange got itself back on its feet in only 5 days after the towers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This photo was shamelessly snatched from Peggy Noonan&#8217;s latest opinion piece, Mere Presidents. In about two weeks we will be back to having only one President of the United States. I will miss this interregnum with its President for foreign policy and another for domestic policy. Strangely enough, it seems to work pretty well.

I&#8217;m not smart enough, so I won&#8217;t try to analyze and explain. What I can do, perhaps, is to look at things from a more personal level since it is [...]]]></description>

OK, have you digested that? (Maybe &#8216;digest&#8217; was a poor choice of words.) As son Larry would say, Edward R. Tufte would love that graphic. (Tufte wrote two classic books entitled, &#8220;The Visual Display of Quantitative Information&#8221; and &#8220;Envisioning Information.&#8221;

The state is being hit by an economic hurricane, he said, just as New Orleans was hit by a natural hurricane.&#8221;
Huh? Will the victimology myth never end? Hurricane [...]]]></description>
