Here you go:
These black box recorders work much like the ones on airplanes, capturing data related to a crash. In some cases, authorities can tap into a car’s EDR to check vehicle speed, airbag deployments, and pedal application a few seconds before and after impact.
I’m sure they’re harmless. /sarc
As a member of the ‘they’ I’ll propose it at our next meeting. I’d have no problem calling that that.
Doesn’t sound so bad.

The 100 Most Influential People in the World
Both Ron Paul and Anonymous made it onto the list. Interestingly, Ralph Nader is the author of the Ron Paul entry.

The Facebook page I bet Ludwig von Mises can get more fans than John Maynard Keynes challenged fans of the page to compose a haiku based on Austrian business cycle theory. Now I think you lose points if you use words like “interest rates.” Nothing lovely in that. It needs to be at a higher level of abstraction, I think.
I know nothing of the subtleties of the genre myself. I’m just interested in the 5-7-5 syllable rule, which itself isn’t cast in stone. But here’s my proposal:
Build without savings
Harmony into chaos
Things go unfinished
What’s yours?

I posted this to the debate thread that Hashem started, but it’s kinda hidden. Anyway, I thought some of you might be interested in this:

Austrian economics cheered at 4/4 Ron Paul UCLA rally!
If I’m not mistaken, Nader was the author of the Paul article the last time Paul was on one of these lists. (Can anyone find it? Or maybe it wasn’t Paul, but I definitely remember something like this before…Nader wrote it for some outside-the-box character, or Paul wrote one for him, or something…what am I thinking of?)
But you have to love the identifier (which is usually the person’s profession or what they’re most known for) they gave him. Not “US Congressman”…not “politician”…not “physician”…not “political leader”…not “revolutionary”…
but “Libertarian”. Even when they’re giving him props they still have to try any way they can to shove him down. Let’s not forget this.
His ridicule of Dick the dick Morris made this especially enjoyable.
Here’s a fun one:
I’d really like to see the source code for this thing. I’m curious to see how these metrics determine the result you get. Here’s the one I got:
You are an anarcho-capitalist.
You have sailed right past Paul’s hard-nosed libertarianism and off into the uncharted waters of right-wing anarchism. You would be most happy living on a private island that you have declared a sovereign state, which, needless to say, won’t be seeking to join the UN anytime soon..

I’m a big fan of your blog, keep up the good work! Check out this video of a guy opening a bag of Lay’s potato chips–he says there are only 5 chips and some crumbs. You should do a blog about how this is not a failure of the (unfree) market, or due to “greed” of the Lay’s corporation–but that it is the government’s fault, mostly due to inflation (IE the Fed’s) fault!
