Fanning Conspiratorial Flames
WTC building 7’s sudden implosion on 9/11 strikes me as particularly odd, though I am no engineer:
In Pursuit of Virtue – August Edition, Volume 2
Here’s the most recent collection of random internets… Sustainable fuels for cars are a good thing. Not because of some global climate change conspiracy, but rather because a reliance on fuel that lies outside the borders of the country occupies import status that could be used for other goods.

DetailsThe Danger of Democratic Socialism..
as seen in Britain: ‘The real lesson from Europe,” wrote Paul Krugman in January 2010, “is actually the opposite of what conservatives claim: Europe is an economic success, and that success shows that social democracy works.” Here are some postcards from the social democracy that works. • In Britain, 239 patients died of malnutrition in…
