No one seems to be writing opinion pieces quite the way I would, so I decided to do it myself.

The name? Taverns are places where one goes to discuss the interesting events and things in the world, so this is my tavern.

I will offer my views on politics, economics, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
I will occasionally publish the entire article from another journal for purposes of causing discussion.

Now I have my own blog. Next I hope to have readers. Let's see how it goes.

Paul Krugman seems to have hit on a reason why the Bush administration and the House Republicans are so opposed to efforts to stop global warning and maybe why Bush attacked Iraq [nonw of the expressed reasons stand up under scrutiny.] Krugman April 18th They have an aversionto anything global, so when a problem requires cooperative action with other nations to whom we cannot dictate, they simply refuse to recognize the problem.

Read the editorial. Krugman makes sense, even when Bush and the House Republicans don't.
