Sheldon Richman on Glenn Beck and AETN

One of "my people" , Sheldon Richman (editor of The Freeman), was recently on the Arkansas Educational Television Network show Unconventional Wisdom. He was also on the Glenn Beck show. Watching these two interviews is an opportunity to compare two different styles of news media, as well as different ways of engaging in discussion. There are some pretty big differences between the two. I strongly recommend watching the Unconventional Wisdom interview first.

Controversial T-shirts

This video is relevant to recent posts.

"Meeting Times, Places, Topics, Books, Plays, Songs, what not...INQUIRING FIJ'S WANT TO KNOW!!!"

In the area of books, since we last spoke, I got the audiobook of Rev. Michael Dowd's Thank God For Evolution (I'm about half way through it), We Who Dared to Say No to War: American Antiwar Writing from 1812 to Now (One of the two editors is the author of The Politically Incorrect Guide To American History, Thomas E. Woods, Jr. ), Sartre's Nausea, and Kevin Carson's Organization: A Libertarian Perspective. I listened the album of Julia Sweeney's live show Letting Go Of God. I've also watched most of the British television series Planet Earth as well as Watchmen (the movie). Speaking of Watchmen, check this out, it's hilarious if you've read the graphic novel or seen the movie.

Musically, I've been listening to Diana Krall, Cannabis Corpse, Johnny Paycheck, kid 606, Naked City, Toots and the Maytals, Metallica, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Dr. Dre, Bad Brains, Autechre, Rick Ross, The Lonely Island, Air, The Office Space soundtrack, Against Me!, Zu, Squadra Omega, etc.

On a lighter note and just because a few things to Ponder

For those who wonder these are just a few question Allan seems to ask me when I am trying to work, lets see if we can answer a few of them

Where does the lost sock in the washer and dryer go?
Why does the Indiana driver's license include in its list of possible restrictions "B" for "Blind"?
Why does belly button lint not match your shirt color?
Why do old women die their hair blue?
If a turtle doesn't have a shell is he homeless or naked?
Why is it that when you see someone in a cast or a brace you say ouch?
Before they invented drawing boards, what did they go back to?
How do they get the ship in the bottle ?
If a cow laughed would milk come out its nose?
Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?
Why don't we get goosebumps on our face?
If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no woman around to hear him...is he still wrong?
Does the reverse side also have a reverse side?
Is the grass really greener on the other side?
Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?
Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?
Why is Greenland white?
Why do we sing Take Me Out To the Ball Game if we are already there?
When sign makers go on strike is there anything written on their signs?
Why is it when two planes almost hit each other it is called a near miss? Shouldn't it be called a near hit?
Can your face actually freeze while making ugly faces?
Why isn't there mouse flavored cat food?
How do you know when it is time to tune your bagpipes?
Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?

Two opposing views of the current economic troubles

2008 Nobel Prize winning Neo-Keynesian economist, author of The Conscience Of A Liberal, and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman was recently interviewed on Fresh Air by Terry Gross, here.

Joseph Salerno, editor of The Quarterly Journal Of Austrian Economics (which focuses on the Austrian School of economic theory), senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, and economics professor at Pace University is interviewed about the same issues on The Lew Rockwell Show, here. (I would also note that the Nobel Prize winning economist Friedrich Hayek was from the Austrian school.)

On a related note, I recently bought Money, Banking and The Federal Reserve on DVD, and an MP3 CD of Henry Hazlitt's Economics In One Lesson from the Mises Institute, in case anyone is interested.
