On the Fact that the CEO of Walmart Could Work for NOTHING and Even if You Distributed His Entire Forfeited Salary to the Employees it Would Only Come Out to About $15 per Person PER YEAR

That's why I don't get too upset about this whole "CEO to worker ratio growing" talking point (the fact that it's an essentially symbolic issue, lacks perspective, etc.) and would much prefer a more substantive analysis.

On Radical Environmentalists Who Go Around Decrying Mining While at the Same Time Tinkering with Their Cell-Phones and Laptops

These people are so moronic. Do they think that this stuff just falls out of the heavens and into their fucking laps?......Seemingly, huh?

On "Participation Trophies"

Must have been a progressive idea.

On Bernie's Affinity for Sweden

 It depends on what he's referencing. If he's talking about the Sweden of today that has radically reduced a) public spending as a percentage of GDP and b) the top tax rates, I could probably live with that. But if he's talking about the Sweden of the '70s and '80s in which government spending was for close to 70% of GDP and the top tax rate was 80-something percent (a policy that prompted many rich folks to simply leave the country - HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!), then, no, that's unacceptable.......Knowing the fascistic Sanders, it's more than likely the latter.

On the Fact that Historians Always Seem to Conflate the Crony-Capitalistic and Vote-Buying Political Entrepreneurs Such as Collins, Gould, Fulton, and Villard with the Market Entrepreneurs Such as Hill, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, and Schwab and Attempt to Suggest that They Were All Evil

  This is one of the most flagrant examples of laziness and bias in all of academia. The fact of the matter is that the latter group of men, while surely not perfect, created hundreds of thousands of jobs and brought down the cost of living for pretty much every American AND they did it without government assistance (in the form of forced monopolies, subsidies, etc.). I mean, I understand that these court historians (folks such as Schlesinger and Kearns-Goodwin) truly and sincerely believe that all of America's heroes have been politicians (it's how they're wired) but you've got to be at least a little bit fair.

60 Minutes Report on Benghazi - IT'S NOT a "Fake Scandal" After All!!!

Yeah, I strongly suspect that Ms. Logan is going to get slimed over this one (and probably already has - can you say, David Brock?).
