Democracy Arrives in the USA

War Chiefs, Peace Chiefs and the Zero-Sum Game There’s a scene in “A Beautiful Mind” where the hero provides mathematical proof that everybody does better if they don’t all go for the win (the win being in the movie a blonde, but with much broader application than that.)  This is the issue of the zero-sum […]

Shelter from the Frankenstorm? No Way, Romney Sez!

October 29, 2012

In one of his most famous lines from “Blood on the Tracks,” Dylan writes, “Come in, she said, I’ll give you, Shelter from the storm.” The United States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been pretty busy lately, this year and last—the whole decade, really—dealing with the ongoing series of climate disasters which have struck […]

This is classic paranoid White male syndrome.  A rather extreme case, but […]
