Hand-outs that undermine the economy. Sovereign debt and politics' inability to stop the bleeding. How to use science to generate hot air for politics' balloon. How to get accused of hate speech without an effort.

It is smart to help folks vote for you. The constitutional right to disrupt speeches. The nuclear bomb clock is ticking. The Euro in hot water. The EU in trouble. "Help! We have a surplus!"

Withdraw if they shoot back. Words do not always suffice to defend democratic values. The new, stylish way to commit suicide. Climate-gate and good intentions that redeem bad deeds. Sanctions could save Iran from the Mullah's folly. The Dictator's Tantrum.

Promises, reality and terror. Oppressive liberators. The lawfulness of revolutions that ultimately fail their supporters. Prophets in error and the light-tower of the present's failures. What if we encourage our civil servants to strike permanently?

Iran: The news is cruel but true. When apparent sanity is based on a misunderstanding. What you did not want to hear about bank secrecy. Fleeing Germany. Do not raise taxes: reduce expenditures.

"Too big to fail" leads to "too big to be saved." Ending privacy. The Gleichschaltung of global taxes: "IRS' of the World, Unite!" The Korean War and the Alliance today. The responsibility for collateral damage.

Duly noted by George de Poor Handlery. 

Crushing crises and the culture of improvisation. Close your eyes and the troubles are gone. Intellectuals and tyrannies: Persecution is a form of coveted recognition. Present perils and the downgrading of the Soviet threat. The ostrich-test.

An ailment of our culture? Terrorism is a calling: Even released terrorists remain in the business. Two reactions to underdevelopment. Self-exclusion and the frustrated immigrant.

The Left is not against the unshared good life of some but against the good life as such. Frustrated elites and their disdain for the middle class. The skipped revolution: the masses refuse their redeemers. Who does not trust the common man? When words fail: the propaganda of deeds. If you are overheard in life, [...]

The governing class, its power and wealth. State intervention and curing the market cures. Separating state and church was easier than untying the government and the economy. Is the choice between honest poverty and crooked wealth? The interests of the "state class" and the people. How neutral can the state be? Wealth, well-being and the [...]

The Talker-in-Chief and "Copenhagen." Michelangelo and American foreign policy. The problems of war time Democrat Presidents. Open societies and their wars. Is Iran demonstratively hiding what it does not have? Admit the failure of diplomacy?

Searching for antidotes against the insolent disobedience of the restless masses. Pacify Islam: export secular atheism. Just discovered: Muslims are not responsible for the last two world wars. The devaluation of racism through over incantation. About the extent of Soviet infiltration.

Justice to the Middle Ages. Cultural success and the dynamism of the West. Free ideas against stolid dogmatism. The dogmas of security and the uncertainties of freedom. The nature of the challenge determines the proper response to it. The value of the dollar. Obama's dilemma: How much surrender is volatile support worth? Welfare competes with earned [...]

Even in small countries, major trends can unfold early. About noble leaders and their reluctant peons that refuse to follow. International protest and its use to the tottering local leadership. Security, fear and freedom. Radicalization as a face saving device. Immigration then and now. Imported prejudices, failure and the allegation of discrimination.

Worrying good news from the Middle East. How development helps to stabilize poverty. A claim that supports "the other side." Still no one to call in Europe. The new non-American Dream. Save the welfare state, import more dependents.

Rejection, quotas, under- and over-achieving minorities. Exploiting refugee status. When cowardice is masked as tolerance. Old procedures for new crimes? Health care, the budget savings and the deficit.

When PC kills. Snake medicine and the snakes. Ignore what you see, believe what they say. How to legalize the Sharia without alarming anyone. Aid to the destitute, poverty through aid.

Vincible and invincible guerillas. The privilege of being underprivileged. About dictatorships. Pigs might be lovable but sausage is better.

The Dictator's Tantrum: a chronic obsession. Making and not keeping agreements. Strange bedfellows and odd mutations. Language laws and their insanity. When aid fuels dictatorship.

What goes around . . . Justice served the UN way. Unwelcome refugees. Noble ends and terror. Third Worlders, socialism and failing societies. Tyranny and guided economies. Strange bedfellows and odd mutations.

Direct democracy, minarets then burkas. The trend toward qualified equality. The grab for power by those who wish to save mankind.

The imperfections of a functioning democracy do not prove the validity of extremist ideals. The left-right axis connects totalitarian extremes. A challenge to dragon-killers. Foreign conquest needs be followed by forced assimilation. Mass movements and the dictatorial trap. Aiming at Obama: do not use slingshots. The future's bliss and the evils of the present.
