This is a "Metablog." By that I mean I post the best from the blogs and the media on Politics and Foreign affairs. You are free to comment on it. My real name is Bill Millan. This is not a place for those on the Left to post. If you disagree with my POV, please post elsewhere.
This is for people who read the MSM and shake their heads at the bias. Each morning I post what amounts to a "national newspaper" of articles and comments from my "Eagle" [socially liberal/fiscally conservative] POV. Those here read what is of interest to them and comment on them from their POV.
I post most of the articles in "clumps" and suggest you check the thread in groups of 50 posts if you are only interested in what I am posting. That way you can pick out and read most of my extracts from the news and the blogs.
At the end of this header is my personal take on health supplements for any interested.
1) No personal insults!
2) No six year olds, please.
3) No Conspiracy Theories
FORMAT: Please list a source at the start of the article. List a URL at the bottom if there is material that needs to be referred to.
If I identify you as a "troll," just dropping by to cause trouble, you will be gone with no warning. Don't insult people. No foul language. I will warn by PM, or publicly. Then you will be suspended.
How to set up links to posts.

Here is what I have.
Hyperwords is the most important one. Couldn't get by without it. Work your way though the options and customize it. Add "Copy link" to it. If a link here fails to work or is not given, highlight the title of the article and right click, "search/Google top result."

Excellent article and charts on "Creative Destruction."

One of the most important political articles of the last decade was undoubtedly Walter Russell Mead's The Jacksonian Tradition from the Winter 1999 issue of The National Interest. It is long, but of great importance. We are almost all "Jacksonians" here.

Here is a link to the Powerline post that will go down as the most famous blog in history. It broke the the Rather/forgery story to the wider blog audience. powerlineblog.com
Long-time readers here will recall my mentioning Andrew J Galambos. He was my mentor back in the 70's and changed my life. As he did almost everyone who dealt with him. This link will give you a great overview of the start of the Libertarian movement.
