Links are my choice, but do not necessarily reflect my opinion. I often link to articles, sites and blogs with which I disagree. I try to look at all sides, but the fact that I'm human makes it impossible for me to view anything completely objectively. | Friday, 08 MarchAddictive darned things [permalink][via Damian Penny] Which Colossal Death Robot Are You? I'm in trouble.
Five metric tonnes of hulking, steam powered robo-meat, you are the pin-up boy for death robot technology. Although you are in fact a war golem, you know how to use a minigun, and you can benchpress small settlements. Relatively new to the colossal death robot scene, you were first pencilled by comic legend Joe Maduriera in 1998. Sensitive, stylish, and yet still massive, if you were female and not made of iron I would probably propose to you. I just hope this guy doesn't check his referrers! No steel in that spine [permalink]I don't consider myself a conservative, but I'll weigh in on the Steel Tariff BS plan anyway. I will just say that I no longer consider our President a conservative, compassionate or otherwise. He's getting jumped on by conservatives, libertarians, moderates, and liberals for this one. He deserves every word -- and more of the same for textile tariffs. I haven't blogged about this, because it is not my field, and there are others who have taken on steel and textile protectionism much better than I could. The anti-globalisation bunch should be backing the president's administration. They're doing exactly what that group wants. Destroying free trade. [links via Nick Denton and most of the rest of the Blogosphere™.] Alright alright. [permalink]I couldn't resist the gun test: Seems I'm a Dragunov Sniper Rifle. Khorosho... Social Security [permalink]Megan McArdle has written an excellent explanation of why privatization of Social Security is a good idea. This one is a must-read for any American. Wouldn't hurt the rest of you to read it either... |
