Busy Day, So Have Some Links
Jul. 25th, 2012 01:32 pmLike the label on the tin says:
A) The title says it all: How I Lost My Fear of Universal Health Care.
B) What's really killing the US coal industry: cheap natural gas. Gas turbine plants burning natural gas are cleaner, cheaper to run and at the moment natural gas is cheaper per megawatt produced than coal.
C) This post has some interesting political observations, but why I link to it is for this: One thing I'd like to be clear about is that Mike Huckabee has always struck me as a pretty good example of why "Someone I'd like to have a beer with" is a pretty lousy criteria for picking a national leader: Huckabee has always seemed to me like the kind of guy who would be a great, slightly wacky neighbor, the kind of guy who throws great cookouts and can be trusted to check your mail or water your plants but not somebody you'd vote for.
D) An interesting opinion: Syria's army is on the way out, unable to operate due to IEDs.
