From Paul Craig Roberts, a former Reagan Treasury official–an overview of how our arrogance has undone our Empire.

Gobsmacked on this one. A guy out in San Diego named Jeff Olson has been an activist against Bank of America. By ‘Activist’ I mean he’s been writing nasty things in chalk on the sidewalks outside of B of A branches in Mid City, which I assume is part of San Diego. He’s been busted […]
