• Vermont Sí, Yankee No
  Why was anyone surprised that a federal judge recently ruled that the state of Vermont does not have the right to decide whether or not an aging, leaky, unsafe nuclear power plant operated by an out-of-state company with a record of lying and misrepresenting the truth should be allowed to continue operating in Vermont?  [...]

• At last: Someone Who Understands America Has Failed
  Kirkpatrick Sale Why America Failed: The Roots of Imperial Decline Morris Berman Wiley. 2011 Why America Failed, which this book is not about, is nonetheless a devastating and eviscerating critique proving convincingly that America has failed, and abominably, even tragically.  That makes it a very important book that I hope will find an attentive audience […]

• Mother Died Today or, Maybe, Yesterday
  The euro is going down and will most likely take the 17 nation euro zone with it, if not the entire 27 nation European Union.  Or maybe it will be the other way around?  Does it really matter?
