Henry Paulson Must Listen to Eazy-E

By -
So in case you haven't heard, let me inform you that Paulson has just decided that more than $125 billion* will go to healthy financial institutions. This reminds me of some lines from Eazy-E:

Bankin, I specialize in ganking
Whites, Mexicans, brothers and others.


* Initially RW put the figure at $135 billion, but now he is not sure. The phrasing is a little off in the article, so it's hard to know. So to be safe, just say it's at least $125 billion.

    WTF? It's like they just blew their wad on nothing, F(*$ING nada to fix the underlying problem in housing. And they have to raise matching amounts in the already dead capital markets? WTF?

    It just seems odd that Bob Murphy is quoting Eazy E, like the stars are out of alignment or something.

    Josh,

    That's awesome. I love how Eazy E understands black markets too.

    The police ain't sh*t cuz I'm payin em off.

    And of course how gets out of jail (in order to creep on his b*tch with his uzi machine):

    The bailiff of the station was a neighborhood cluck.
    I looked him straight in the eye, and said "What's up?"
    And said "Let's make a deal you know I'll do you up."

    This world is full of interesting thing like FFXI Gil for us to make a choice. But we still have ability to make a decision. We can decide whether to buy FFXI gold. This world is different from the past. In the past, maybe we do not know Final Fantasy XI gold, nowadays, this will no longer be rare. We can do what we want to do to buy FFXI Gil in the world. So， let us have fun on cheap Final Fantasy XI Gold. So, let us move on!

Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas --  unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.

"Pre-Galilean" Foolishness

 I am currently reading The Master and His Emissary , which appears to be an excellent book. ("Appears" because I don't know the neuroscience literature well enough to say for sure, yet.) But then on page 186 I find: "Asking cognition, however, to give a perspective on the relationship between cognition and affect is like asking astronomer in the pre-Galilean geocentric world, whether, in his opinion, the sun moves round the earth of the earth around the sun. To ask a question alone would be enough to label one as mad." OK, this is garbage. First of all, it should be pre-Copernican, not pre-Galilean. But much worse is that people have seriously been considering heliocentrism for many centuries before Copernicus. Aristarchus had proposed a heliocentric model in the 4th-century BC. It had generally been considered wrong, but not "mad." (And wrong for scientific reasons: Why, for instance, did we not observe stellar parallax?) And when Copernicus propose...
