A small excerpt: “The U.S. economy, according to doubters, rests on an unsustainable accumulation of foreign debt.

A Feminist Ruse. Mike linked to this but I had to link to it here because HM has put together an unbelievable article. Self-centered? Thin-skinned? Takes things personally?

It’s striking how worked up people are getting over this potential legislation setting minimum standards for granting photo drivers licenses.
