Israel should go eff itself

Michele Bachmann sucks at reading the Bible. Every time you read the Bible, you translate it .  The words don't beam God's intent directly to your heart. You interpret, or translate, the meaning of the verses when you read it.  Entire churches are established on different interpretations. Bachmann's interpretation of scripture is horrific in its implication: " I am convinced in my heart and in my mind that if the United States fails to stand with Israel, that is the end of the United States. " I forgot to mention.  Bachmann also sucks at history.  The U.S. got along just fine for 140 years before Israel came into being.

The Economics of Ghostbusters

Head over to Film Econ to learn about the EPA causing the apocalypse in Ghostbusters. Sorry.  This isn't your day. And here's the saddest quote ever by a man whose business was destroyed by the state : "The way the government goes after places like [my business] is by an accumulation of laws, regulations, and subjective decisions they are allowed to use to express their intent. Essentially they remove your security, increase your risk or liability, and increase your costs. This makes the closing of [my business] and similar manufacturing and accumulation of issues and not a single issue. They simply grind away until you either quit or they find methods of bringing serious charges or fines that force you to close."
