by Troy Senik http://nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/who-killed-california My apologies for having nothing originally in this post. The text was here but didn't show up. Apparently this article is too long to be printed here, at about 11 pages. It is nevertheless worth reading, unless, as someone has already done, you have made your mind up what to believe before reading.Gleichschaltung
Feel the Gleichschaltung Tuesday, September 22, 2009, 1:15 PM The_Anchoress Reading through this transcript, I was struck by two things. One was the aroma of self-intoxication. These bureaucrats and artists and activists are utterly besotted by the contemplation of their own virtue.Humans are Strange Animals
People want to be honest and completely consistent in their behavior and actions, but no one can sustain the image we all want to present to the world. It's not fair to say that people are hypocrites or liars, unless of course as a standard we acknowledge that every last one of us is a guilty party. The truth is that we are just unclear on how to live a personal life and public life without alienating ourselves in the process.

The Whole Foods Alternative to ObamaCare Eight things we can do to improve health care without adding to the deficit. By JOHN MACKEY "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." —Margaret Thatcher With a projected $1.8 trillion deficit for 2009, several trillions more in deficits projected over the next decade, and with both Medicare and Social Security entitlement spending about to ratchet up several notches over the next 15 years as Baby Boomers become eligible for both, we are rapidly running out of other people's money.Inside depth look at self-esteem

Christopher Gorham talks up Henry's return to 'Ugly Betty'
Watching Betty choose herself after getting offers from the lovably nerdy accountant Henry and impish sandwich boy Gio last season was, well, painful. Nothing against her move to become an independent woman, but this season she followed them up with soft-rocker Jesse -- what an ill-conceived detour that was! -- and now rich nice guy Matt.Without foreign coverage, we miss more than news
