U.S. to Borrow/Print More Than Entire Cost of War This Year
USA Today says the federal budget deficit for fiscal year 2009 will be approximately 490,000,000,000 dollars. That's more than twice what the wars cost this year (though still less than the entire annual cost of the hard and software of empire). Now tell me again how all this borrowing/inflation is supposed to be good for the economy again? Wait, what's that, borrowing and inflation are terrible for the economy except when it's for war, then it's good? Do I have that right?

I Really Like Glenn Greenwald’s Radio Show
I'm not even mad at how wrong his guest is about a lot of stuff. It's still great. Episode 1: Daniel Ellsberg. Way to go Glenn! By the way, my own view is may God damn Barack Obama for inspiring people to believe in him and all his bullshit. It Should Have Been Ron.

A Year at the Wheel
Shane and Amy Bugbee, hardcore fans of KAOS Radio, are spending a year at the wheel, cruising around America with their faithful dog and turtle documenting the behavior of the people in this election year. One thing they did was interview me. Here's the video. My interview of them.
Randy Pausch, 1960-2008
Professor Pausch, who was given a death sentence and responded by delivering the famous Last Lecture, has died. At moments like this, I am reminded of something written by Larry McMurtry in Lonesome Dove - "Life is short. Shorter for some than others." That pretty much sums it up. There are some things we can't control, and as for what we might have done to prevent them in the past, well, yesterday's gone and we can't get it back. The world is full of tragedy, pain, and injustice, and there's...
Philip Giraldi: Beware of Israeli False Flag Attacks in Iraq
Would the Israeli government murder Americans in Iraq to make it look like Iran did it? Of course they would if they thought it necessary, don't be childish. The question is whether the current employee types who talked to Giraldi actually have something material they're going on here. Some intel types are beginning to express concerns that the Israelis might do something completely crazy to get the US involved. There are a number of possible ‘false flag’ scenarios in which the Israelis...

Empire
Robert Higgs calls that which dreamed up "CENTCOM'sMaster Plan for future access to and operations in Central Asia" what it is. The imperial authorities constantly emphasize their efforts to promote our security by suppressing "violent extremism" abroad. Repeat after me: extremism always bad; moderation always good. If Barry Goldwater were alive today and still telling us that "extremism in defense of liberty is no vice," he might well be placed on the Air Force's target list for the Predator...
