Today's lesson in public choice economics: politicians do what benefits politicians, not what benefits the wider public (nor even, in this case, what accords with the rules of logic).

Netsmith for one cannot wait for this particular political announcement.

There's amusement here, to be sure, but very much a damned if they do, damned if they don't sort of situation.

So just what was the most significant wealth creating film of all time?

From an unexpected quarter: the value of private schooling is that it attempts to educate.

And finally, proof that reincarnation really does happen.
