Bon Jovi to Waters: Drop Dead!
(John Hinderaker) Some years ago, I was in the office of a straight-laced, middle-aged lady who was in charge of my law firm's support staff. I noticed a photograph on her desk of herself with a long-haired guy who looked like a rock musician. It seemed incongruous, so I asked about the picture, and she told me this story. She and her husband had a boat in a marina on the St.

The Blockchain Might Be The Next Disruptive Technology
To process a transaction, you need first to make sure the sender owns the asset he wants to transfer, and make sure he will not trade it twice. In the blockchain, information is stored in blocks that record all transactions ever done through the network. Hence, it allows validating both the existence of assets to be traded and ownership.

Putin kicks Obama, he pretends not to feel a thing
(Paul Mirengoff) President Obama responded to his latest humiliation at the hands of Vladimir Putin by stating that "Mr. Putin had to go into Syria not out of strength but out of weakness, because his client, Mr. Assad, was crumbling." This statement — pulled from the same notebook as the president's pathetic speech to the U.N. — is true, but it fails to paper over the failure of Obama's approach to Syria

An Instance of Warmist Corruption
(John Hinderaker) We have often written about the fact that the world's governments pour billions of dollars annually into the global warming project, the object of which is to increase the powers of government. And yet governments, the main parties that stand to benefit from the warmists' campaign, pretend that their money is somehow innocent, while any private entity that supports climate research is suspect. Alarmist scientists have gone so far as

Fear Of Failure May Ensure It
At the dawn of the web I launched one of the first e-commerce sites. I spent six months on research, perfecting the site, striving to get everything right. After six hours live I'd learned more from people's actions and reactions than in those six months — and felt a bitter regret for the half year wasted. Now, as an investor, I occasionally see the same behavior, and… Read More

Politicize this
(Scott Johnson) Early Thursday evening, before the dead had been counted, before their bodies were cold, before the relevant facts were known, President Obama chose to make a characteristically obnoxious statement on the shootings at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon (video below, text here. Obama's remarks are deserving of the derision that John heaped on them in "Obama: Never let a mass shooting go to waste." Why would Obama speak before

The Weak in Pictures: Putin Clocks Obama Edition
(Steven Hayward) There are times when President Obama looks weak, and then there are times when President Obama looks like he's on the other side. Has a president ever been so humiliated by the actions of an adversary? Putin must wonder how pathetic Obama and his team really are. I expect he'll send along a "reset" button some day. He's already resetting the Soviet-era hegemony over parts of Eastern Europe and the

Wallace Stevens Wrote a Handful of Beautiful Poems and a Lot of Tosh
In 1954, at the behest of Alfred A. Knopf, Wallace Stevens gathered his seven books of poetry into a single volume. The Collected Poems was full of typos, chance misprints, and inconsistencies of spelling and punctuation, and has remained that way in half a century's worth of subsequent printings. Vintage Books has now published a corrected edition, albeit only in paperback. The editors, John N. Seriro and Chris Beyers, have done exemplary work, drawing upon manuscripts, Stevens's amended galleys, correspondence, and common sense. Missing section numbers are supplied, misspellings ("scrurry") are emended; occasionally words are replaced or inserted.

Bipartisan sentencing reform proposal would free gun-carrying felons

Ironically, at just about the same time a bipartisan group of Senators was introducing criminal sentencing reform legislation that would cause the release from jail of criminals who carried guns while committing drug felonies.
