Congress Better Get A Grip On Spending

They should be. I heard Senator Levin grill Lloyd Blankfein for "shorting" investment vehicles his firm took into inventory, in the industry this is called risk management in the process of making an orderly market for customers but not taking on the unwanted risk of those assets which they purchase from customers.

Examining Peer Review

Kim Greenhouse, It's Rainmaking Time! Peer review was established to ensure quality and accuracy of academic research and publications. As one university library tells students, “Peer review ensures that an article—and therefore the journal and the scholarship of the discipline as a whole—maintains a high standard of quality, accuracy, and academic integrity. When you consult peer-reviewed sources, you are tapping into a wealth of established, verified knowledge.” Does this mean non-peer reviewed materials have no value? What happens if academics refuse to peer review? Are they the only arbiters of quality and accuracy?

Canada’s Lunar Power Play

You know what Menken said about the "political class". His choice words included "dishonest, insane and intolerable". Is that the political class we want ruling Canada's Moon Colony and appointing "judges" to the Lunar Supreme Court? The so-called "ethics" of "The House (Which) Is Not A Home" (Nielsen title) is enough to gag any self-respecting #.
