Wait until Saturday, when a whole host of acts become law, not by an act of the National Legislature, but by administrative fiat.

Better late to the party than never.....

Starnesville: of course the people who are still there are wallowing in self-destruction. They did not have enough interest in self-preservation to bother to leave. My grandmother emigrated from “the old country”, and two of my sisters went back to visit the village and our second cousins. They were appalled at the utter lack of ambition and enormous quantities of alcohol. Think about it: the ambitious ones left.....

I think that is why our country was once so great: it was a self-selecting population of go-getters. No ambition? Stay put in the old country.

Just another Atlas Shrugged moment in the news. Today’s Wall Street Journal editorial on ethanol mentions various groups, including, the “Union of Concerned Scientists”. I had to giggle, it sounded just like one of those stupid committees worried about Rearden Metal.

Until next week, then.
