A moron courting other morons  [embedded content] Living in the U.S. you soon find out that it’s a country with exceptionally many gifted and bright people. But, unfortunately, it is also a country where a moron with lots of money may run for president — and where, sadly enough, a lot of other morons obviously will vote for him …

En del badhus har separata badtider för kvinnor – bland annat Rosengårdsbadet i Malmö, som marknadsför ”enbart kvinnlig personal på plats och fönstren skyddas för insyn” … Skilda badtider. Skilda träningstider. Skilda lokaler. Valbart och frivilligt? Liberalt, alltså? Nej, faktiskt inte … Om hela badet stängs för alla av det ena könet när det andra badar så drabbas alla. Inte bara av att inte kunna bada just där och då, utan av att synen på det motsatta könet blir sned och jämställdhet...

Woman is the nigger of the world För en tid sedan skrev Sara Mohammad — grundare av Glöm aldrig Pela och Fadime — i en debattartikel på SVT Opinion att hon idag med oro ser hur religiösa krafter flyttar fram sina positioner här i Sverige: Häromveckan gick Storsjöbadet i Österstund ut med att de börjar sälja burkinis, och flera badhus har börjat med skilda badtider för kvinnor och män. Vi är många som flytt från ett kulturellt och religiöst förtryck med krav på kontroll av kvinnors...

Krugman owes Friedman an apology! February 20, 2016 Dear Paul, Your suggestion that “personal ambition” in any way influenced my analysis of the Sanders economic plan is as insulting as it is wrong and you owe me an apology. You don’t know me. We did not quite overlap in graduate school and our paths have diverged since. We have never met or spoken. The closest we came was when my department attempted to bring you to Amherst to give a guest lecture. Never happened because we could not...

Playing the blame game  [embedded content] David Silvester, who resigned from the Conservative Party over David Cameron’s same-sex marriage policy, has said gay marriage is to blame for Britain’s recent spell of bad weather in a letter to The Henley Standard. He wrote: “Since the passage of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, the nation has been beset by serious storms and floods.” Huffington Post Thank God for all these intelligent and unprejudiced conservative politicians …...

The outstanding faults of the economic society in which we live are its failure to provide for full employment and its arbitrary and inequitable distribution of wealth and incomes … I believe that there is social and psychological justification for significant inequalities of income and wealth, but not for such large disparities as exist to-day. John Maynard Keynes wrote this in General Theory (1936). Four decades later the Iron Lady appeared in the Parliament with this gobsmacking...

This one is for you — all you brothers and sisters, struggling to survive in civil wars, or forced to flee your homes, risking your lives on your way to my country — Sweden — or other countries in Europe. May God be with you. [embedded content]

Krugman — a Vichy Left coward Paul Krugman’s recent posts have been most peculiar. Several have looked uncomfortably like special pleading for political figures he likes, notably Hillary Clinton. He has, in my judgement, stooped rather far down in attacking people well below him in the public relations food chain … Perhaps the most egregious and clearest cut case is his refusal to address the substance of a completely legitimate, well-documented article by David Dayen outing Krugman, and...
