Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson warned us that the economy was about to collapse unless Congress immediately authorized him to spend $700 billion on "troubled assets" held by banks. But it's been a month and a half and the Treasury has yet to buy any troubled assets. In fact, last week Paulson said it had no plans to do so. And as Senior Editor Jacob Sullum writes, that's just one of the many bewildering reversals in ...

Andrew said: It often seems like my school's technology curricula are ten or fifteen years behind the curve, probably more, although our technology hard- and soft-ware are utterly up-to-date. the students feel (and are) disempowered, and the administration is uncurious about how to make technology work better for everyone — students, faculty, administrators. How do you get the conversation started on these subjects? My initial response (at the risk of every problem looking like a ...

In the late 1970's I went to hear Francis Schaeffer speak at Tremont Temple in Boston; at the time I was a naive seminary student at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. One thing he said that night has stuck with me ever since: "The time of ease and comfort for the church in the west is soon coming to an end."

The ridesharing website PickupPal was fined by a Canadian court in a case brought against them by bus giant Trentway-Wagar. Its beef was that it is unfair they have to meet labor, environmental, and equipment standards to haul passengers when services like PickupPal can arrange rides without doing any of that.
