Zero Jobs 101: The Psychology of Alienating Employers
by Victor Davis Hanson
PJ Media
There Is No There There
Zero jobs last month — a net change of zero job growth? It was just announced that last month’s unemployment is still above 9% — despite the nearly five trillion dollars in Keynesian pump-priming, the near zero interest rates, the expanded unemployment and food stamp support, and the government takeovers and subsidies of businesses.

The Idiotic Corner
by Victor Davis Hanson
PJ Media
It is odd for a newspaper in unsigned editorials to go after a writer. But the Monterey Herald has done that on occasion with me, and with the usual ad hominem tactics and failure to offer a rebuttal, which seem at odds with basic journalistic ethics. Here is the latest with brief commentary: Continue reading “The Idiotic Corner”
The Middle East Mess

Libya, Iraq, Syria, Iran, and the All the Same Old, Same Old Mess

Obama Becomes the Fall Guy
by Victor Davis Hanson
Tribune Media Services
Suddenly, liberal op-ed writers are trashing — even lampooning — Barack Obama as a one-term president (“one and done”). Centrist Democrats up for reelection in 2012 openly worry about inviting a kindred president into their districts, lest the new pariah lose them votes. Continue reading “Obama Becomes the Fall Guy”

by Victor Davis Hanson

The Great Warpath
This summer it has been a softer, modern version of living in a cabin on the Great Warpath circa 1740 near Albany or Montreal (in this regard, take a look at Eliot Cohen’s new book Conquered into Liberty on the origins of the American way of war), readying oneself for the next break-in — so our inland “California Corridor” has become from Bakersfield to Sacramento.
