The Russian-Georgia War in the Caucasus – what it means – Paul Krugman

Another Paul Krugman post – titled The Great Illusion – which sorta reminds me of one of the old Star Trek movies – where the history of the earl 21st Century was looked at and was full of brutal wars when it was thought war could or would no longer happen because it was economically [...]

Just figured out who Barack Obama’s Veep choice is going to be (over at Webmetricsguru) I just wanted to post and date this – if I turn out to be right about the VEEP choice – I’ll be one of the first, maybe, the first person to predict it. Makes a lot of sense – [...]
