Mine Rescue

Those Magnificent men in the Chile Mine are coming up, starting tonight. The rescue phase apparently commences at midnight. I don't know about you, but I'm praying for them--let's hope that they all get up safe.

UPDATE: Thursday morning here, and they're all up. Excelsior, as Stan Lee would have written!

I can't resist the temptation--here's Rita mcNeill with 'Its a Working Man I am'. I notice with additional pleasure that yesterday, on Margaret Thatcher's 85th birthday, the news was full of brave miners, Chilean working people, and happy Liverpudlians.

Im with you, hope they're all fine. They've been trapped there for months. Least we could do is hope they're all safe.

It looks like it is all going well-which is a great thing. I've been very struck by how people from all over the world, and specifically from the western hemisphere have been pulling for these gentlemen, and in many cases providing equipment and expertise. Sometimes, it is good to be human....

Tough Times in the Irish Republic I keep hearing wrenching human stories about just how tough things have got in Ireland. The Republic is the one country hit even worse than Britain by the latest world crash, in part because it held the poisoned causes of the troubles closer to itself even than England did. I went frequently to Dublin in that time. One look at the landscape of euro-city, and you knew you were at the Dodge county line, or maybe Vegas. Unlike Vegas, however, it was obvious that what happened in Dublin wasn't staying there. For instance, one legacy of the Irish revolution all those years ago, aided in the west by the tendency of communities to cause real trouble to people who tried to interfere, was that when owned, land seemed yours . In England, all sorts of restrictions could be applied to it; in the booming Ireland to which the children of emigrants were returning ten years ago, one could build whatever one liked, paint it whatever colour, and sell it to just abou...

Abiotic--abiogenic--oil The Devil's Kitchen is a great libertarian site. The standard warning about swearing, if you do not like that sort of thing applies, but it is a refreshing, open place sometimes. The Devil Has recently turned to considering the 'peak oil' idea. I would not be pretentious enough--at least in this instant--to say that I recognised the pathology of realising, as someone who does not in any way consider themselves green, that oil at viable prices and flow is running out. One of the things that is done first is a tour of the wider, 'non traditional' science on the net. Inevitably, as the devil has done, one then comes across the old Soviet idea that oil is not a fossil fuel, which Stalin procured from his scientists practically at gunpoint. This idea, the so-called 'abiotic' or 'abiogenic' idea, is that oil is created by chemical processes independent of fossil detritus deep within the earth and replenished thereby. Here is a li...

Fiscal Dark Matter The United States is often portrayed by liberals, and for that matter by those who comment from the centre and right, as spending less on welfare and healthcare at a federal level than many 'comparable' states. The United Kingdom, equally, until recently trumpeted its low burden of public spending to GDP compared to other European economies. I think that this is untrue. I think that, in the United Kingdom, the Private Finance Initiative's funny-money off-balance sheet deals have until recently hidden the true scale of spending. What I didn't do, and what no-one seems to have known until Michael Lind pointed it out today, is look at tax credits. They are, effectively, subsidies. They effectively lower taxes on those who participate in government-approved schemes or do things that state and federal administrators like. They are a child of the Nixon administration, Russell Long and Ross Perot's EDS technology, because you need a 'modern' id...
