Climate Refugees


“Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive” — Sir Walter Scott

The loony left loves to play with language. They create the terms “economic justice,” “women’s reproductive rights”and “mandatory gun buybacks” ... all to camouflage the hidden purpose of these policies. Now comes their latest semantic slipperiness — “climate migrants,” a double whammy in that it supports climate change as the reason for our surge of illegal immigration ... an assertion without any backup in facts. (But, of course, few of these other liberal loquacious pretzels have any such logical backing either.)

So, dear reader, when you see the next focus-group-tested semantic construct from the Democrats, be afraid, be very afraid of what is about to happen to you and yours.

My Nobel Prize


Many years and one wife ago I discovered that personal microeconomic behavior did not mimic the classic model curve of cost versus demand. My then-wife's father was in the flexible package printing business which meant that we could get one of his clients, Marcal's paper products for free ... toilet paper, napkins, paper towels, etc., you name it. Now we were just starting out and were living on cracked-ice sandwiches ... so, to me, this was a pretty good deal. But not to my lovely wife. She wanted Scott paper products and no cajoling on my part could switch her tastes to Marcal. It drove me nutso ... since I had studied economics in college and knew that, at zero costs, we should be acquiring infinite amounts of Marcal stuff!

And I often expounded, with waving arms, on this discrepancy between what was in the economics  textbooks and what was real-life. (Possibly one reason for our divorce?)

Fast forward well over fifty years ... and now this economist from the University of Chicago, Richard Thafer, describes this same type of unorthodox personal economic behavior and wins the Nobel Prize for Economics for heaven's sake ... and over a million bucks to boot ... see: CNBC Story.

No fair! That's rightly my medal and money!
