…cats are living with dogs, in peace no less, a pig just flew by the office window and Barney Frank is talking about Mises, Hayek, market economies, and how Bush’s (agriculture) policies are the farthest thing from a free market as can be short of a communist run economy.

Color me shocked. No, really.

    I heard Barney Frank give a talk many years ago and I almost fell out of my seat when he said Pareto Optimal. He’s a smart guy.

    Why should you be shocked, he is not a rep in a farm state. You only love the pork that goes to your state or the state of a rep that votes to send pork to your state.
