The Washington Post editorial board is a favorite punching bag of
mine. They are irrevocably self deluded on free trade. If a
document has one page or 1,000 pages, they like it if the words "Free
Trade Agreement" are positioned at the top of the first page, in
capitals and bold letters.
But the WaPo folks don't want the International Court of Justice to
trump U.S. law. They titled their editorial, a weighty and serious, "The Law of the Land." Fine with me.
But what about NAFTA, CAFTA
and the WTO agreements that can or have stricken many U.S. laws?
Far more U.S. laws than the ICJ has ever thought to challenge. What about that?
Anyone? Anyone?

Autopia: A Tale of Two Bailouts
Many Americans are struggling to understand how our government makes decisions on corporate bailouts. When Wall Street companies spent years investing in mortgages that turned out, essentially, to be garbage, the government rushed to bail them out. But when the auto companies neared a similar fate, the government was prepared to stand by and let them perish.
To aid in understanding this situation, it is helpful to look at an example from a galaxy far, far away.
