“It is probable that the minimum wage increase will not cost enough jobs to make its effects readily distinguishable from random economic variation.

The mainstream media is absolutely determined to turn every victory in Iraq into a defeat no matter how they have to twist things around. The latest example is the Iraqi/US victory over a Shiite cult in Najaf. Here’s the New York Times spin on this incredibly successful operation from an article called, “Missteps by Iraqi […]

“According to the latest calculations, the gap between Japanese and American carmakers’ profits average out to about $2900 per vehicle, and the home team does not have the advantage. A big reason is the cost of labor. As analyzed by Harbour-Felax, labor costs the Detroit Three substantially more per vehicle than it does the Japanese. […]

Apparently there are coffee shops hoping that scantily clad women will do for coffee what Hooters has done for chicken wings: “Coffee-stand owner John Cambroto couldn’t compete against the beautiful bikini-clad women selling espresso up the road. “We had a much better atmosphere, good coffee. Unfortunately, they ran around half-naked and we didn’t,” said Cambroto, […]

As regular readers of the page know, I’ve been considering getting rid of the daily news for quite a while. Honestly, I’ve been pondering it, off and on, for years. Why? Because it takes a lot of time to prepare, it doesn’t draw links, and I’ve always suspected that the overwhelming majority of RWN readers […]

The LA Times has a fascinating breakdown of Harry Reid’s crooked, sweetheart land deal. “It’s hard to buy undeveloped land in booming northern Arizona for $166 an acre. But now-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid effectively did just that when a longtime friend decided to sell property owned by the employee pension fund that he controlled. […]
