Borrow, Spend, and Rescue
Byhenry October 2, 2008
The senate has passed the bailout bill, and the house is expected it soon. I greet this event with seriously mixed emotions.

Byhenry April 16, 2007
Many of us right now are thinking about and praying for the folks at Virginia Tech. Others closer to the scene are responding as their duty calls them. But it’s an ill wind that blows no one good, and there are two groups of people who thrive on this sort of thing: The news media,…
