[del.icio.us] posted at The Political and Financial Markets Commentator, saying, "At different times I post my articles on various forums around the internet, some conservative and some liberal. The point of posting on liberal forums is to try and generate a dialogue with people who may share a differing opinion from mine."
Are you saying mine is a liberal blog? :) It's not. It's, in fact, more conservative than the last 2 Republican administrations, that's for sure!

David Gross presents Reflections on the coronation posted at The Picket Line, saying, "I am embarrassed for my friends and my country that we still enthusiastically install royalty at such great expense at this late date after the success of our revolution. And unlike the former monarchies which have devolved into republics and divested their crowns of significant power, we seem largely determined to attach all of our hopes and most of our sovereignty onto our king (or even, as the last eight years showed, some court jester).
The people have spoken. If the people had any sense of shame or any self-awareness, they’d shut the fuck up. They’ve been speaking for a long time now and casting terrible, hateful imprecations that have called forth demons that they refuse to accept responsibility for or attempt to control."

Socialism? Can that same label be applied to the corporate bailouts? Giving tax money to large corporations? Pet projects? Didn't we spend more tax dollars on pork and pet projects over the last 8 years?
