I don't really think that I need to comment on this.
Except to say that, in the Age of Egalitarianism -- which is what our president and his party are all about -- not only can you be "too big to fail," you can be "too incompetent to fail," also.

"Pathological Altruism"
Well, I haven't read this book yet, but it has been getting plenty of MSM buzz, including from the New York Times.
But I'm confused. Didn't Ayn Rand first make this an issue, oh, around 1943, in The Fountainhead?
And isn't she still being denounced and mocked for it, to this very day?
Why is it that a truth isn't a truth unless it's "discovered" and propagated by a gang of Establishment academics?

A personal message from Vince Flynn
I just received by email a copy of this personal message from bestselling thriller author Vince Flynn. It speaks for itself.
I had the honor of interviewing Vince a few years ago (and I’ll be re-posting that interview on my “Vigilante Author” blog soon). In addition to being a great writer, he is one of the most personable and principled men I know.
I know all of you will wish this wonderful man a full and speedy recovery as he continues his gallant battle with cancer.
