Progressives suggest it is because Finland is so wonderfully progressive.
However, a refugee from Finland took a look at that article, and reports that it is because progressives lie like rugs: (more…)

Why Are Finland’s Schools Successful?
Tuesday, August 30th, 2011Seven felonies a day
Monday, August 29th, 2011A few years back I remarked that the average respectable middle class male had committed hundreds of felonies, each worth many years jail time. Things have become worse since then: (more…)
Global warming causes mandatory evacuation
Sunday, August 28th, 2011Or rather the ideology of global warming causes mandatory evacuation. The actual weather was merely an unusually wet and windy weekend, slippery roads and slightly more falling trees than usual. In New York, the storm caused subways to shut down and loss of power – well actually the storm did not cause either one. Politicians panicked by fear of the wrath of Gaea shut down power and subways.
Expect leftist violence in 2012
Friday, August 26th, 2011When the left, aka the government, wants an opponent or apostate harmed or killed, they don’t do it the way totalitarian regimes do it. It is more like “Who will rid me of this turbulent priest”. And that is what we are now hearing. (more…)
What is wrong with Haiti
Monday, August 22nd, 2011After the earthquake, Haiti suffered something even more devastating than an earthquake, something even more devastating than a genetically low IQ population, something far more brutal and destructive than rule by genetically low IQ overlords.
Worse than cholera, worse than the earthquake, Haiti suffered a devastating influx of aid agencies and high IQ Harvard graduates with billions of dollars of aid money. (more…)
There will be war
Saturday, August 20th, 2011Brad deLong tells us:
it took me only two months–two months!–to conclude that America’s best hope for sane technocratic governance required the elimination of the Republican Party from our political system as rapidly as possible.
Since Republicans are supposedly terrorists, elimination is apt to mean lining them up against a wall and shooting them. (more…)
Stagflation August
Saturday, August 20th, 2011While inflation has been running at an annualised rate of 3.6% over the past three months, higher than the Fed’s target 2%, said Brett Hammond, senior economist at TIAA-CREF, “in order to get the economy moving again, a little inflation isn’t a bad thing”.
If Keynesianism is true, you are not supposed to have rising inflation and unemployment at the same time. It is only moderate stagflation, but it is rising, and shows every sign that it will go on rising.
Rick Perry, multiculturalist
Friday, August 19th, 2011On the campaign trail, seeking the republican presidential nomination, he piously bows his head in prayer, he supposedly doubts evolution, but he imposed on Texas schools a course denigrating Christianity and whitewashing Islam. (more…)
Rick Perry and the underclassing of America
Friday, August 19th, 2011Rick Perry proposed to give every female child Gardasil vaccine at government expense.
Gardasil protects against a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer in women and male homosexuals. It rarely affects male heterosexuals in advanced countries. The vaccine is expensive, and has dangerous side effects, so should only be given to those that need it: sluts sexually active females and gays. If a girl is planning to ride the cock carousel, then she should definitely take it shortly before she starts. (more…)
Past getting rewritten right now
Thursday, August 18th, 2011Commentary magazine spots a rewrite in progress. I just checked his claim by comparing the current version of the state department 2002 list of consulates against the google cached version of that list. In google’s cached version, the US in 2002 recognized Jerusalem as part of Israel. In the live version from the state departments servers, not only does no one in the world now recognize Jerusalem as part of Israel, the US back in 2002 did not recognize Jerusalem as part of Israel either.
