Change of Heart

Many blogs do a caption contest every Friday wherein the blogger posts a picture and then visitors leave their take on an appropriate and funny caption for that photo. I really enjoy contributing to those sorts of things, but it doesn’t seem appropriate for TNC so how about a comment contest on Fridays. We select an article—nothing too lengthy—and you supply a comment analyzing it. Our commenters thus far have been exceedingly insightful so I’ll be most interested to read your take. Winner gets a free RSS subscription to TNC!

    If you start piling taxes on top of gasoline prices, then it starts getting fuzzy just who you can “blame” those prices on.

    I’ve heard that people are able to think, hear, and see for the first few seconds after they’ve been decapitated. Looks like Tillerson is willing to help pull the handle on himself. Guess we’ll be finding out how long you can function as a C.E.O. after having lost your head.

    Talk about sanction of the victim.

    He and others like him are Vichy-businessmen. Rather than fight tyranny, they seek to accommodate it and thereby hasten their own enslavement.
