Stephen Edds replied to John R.(Dick) Troll's discussion 'Is Conservatism a Mental Illness?'

I think a simple answer would be to ask if you can apply those characteristics to the late William F. Buckley or Ronald Reagan, widely considered the two greatest Conservatives of our lifetime? I would argue that if you study any group with a pre...

Wall Street issues report, concludes: "Oops! Our bad!

According to the New York Times, a group of Wall Street executives have released a report detailing what went wrong and steps they can do to prevent it from hapening again.

OK, quit laughing.

According to the article:
http://www.nytimes.com/…

"Wall Street failed to anticipate how wide-reaching problems with mortgage bonds would spread into seemingly distant corners of the financial markets, the report said. Awash in easy money, banks doled out credit without sufficiently charging for the risk… Continue

Congress Suspends Rules to Defeat Oil Speculation Bill

In another move that suprised absolutely no one, the House of "Representatives" today voted down H.R. 6604, the House version of the energy speculation bill, by a vote of 276-151. Wait, you ask, how do you lose a vote with more people voting 'yea' than 'no'? Those sneaky foxes brought the bill to the floor under "suspension of the rules," which changes the requirements to now force a bill to have a 2/3 vote to pass.

Why use the suspension procedure for a bill that has 276 votes but not 290 (2/3… Continue

Gary Weiss, reporter and author of "Wall Street vs. America" in which I hope "Crazyman's Economics" will be a companion piece, reported Tuesday on his blog about the SEC proudly announcing the fraud charges against Scottrade.

Until, he points out, you notice the details. Once you read the entire press release, Weiss points out that the SEC had used its' favorite weapon, as Weiss calls it, the "limp soba noodle:"

As Weiss notes:
"Any reader of Wall Street… Continue

My thoughts on "Ask Your Mama" at the Hilbert Circle Theatre

When my wife said we got tickets to see Ice-T with the ISO, I gave her the confused "tilted-head puppy dog look." Ice-T and the ISO were two things I wouldn't normally put together. And since I haven't seen a live symphony performance since the Owensboro Symphony Chrismas show in 5th grade (some 160 years ago), this was a new experience all around.

The show itself was phenominal. The jazz quartet were the true stars of the show, but Ice-T and the ISO added some depth to the project. But, if you… Continue

I'm back

I had to take a break from Smaller Indiana to evaluate its' worth in light of recent events. I have a new book out, "Crazyman's Economics" and have spent the past month working on implementing the marketing plan for the book, which initially included SI. But after my announcement was axed, I had to re-examine the time spent on SI.

I still can't figure out… Continue
