...weeks before Valentine's Day are prime dumping ground for these wish-fulfillment fantasies, most of which tend to be appallingly formulaic. At least, and this is something to be grateful for, Bride Wars deviates from the usual wedding-flick routine of maids of honor who should be the bride (or groom). And even though the catfighting goes over the top, the notion that a passionate female friendship can turn ugly in a heartbeat is, sadly, realistic. Women friends have a sharp sense of one another's soft underbelly, and what we love about our best girlfriends can easily...
...Here's how it works: if the price of buying a house divided by the cost of renting an apartment is higher than usual, then houses are more expensive than they should be. A lower-than-normal ratio suggests good value. Changes in these data are of interest not just to potential buyers trying to figure out if it's time to finally jump off the sidelines but also to current homeowners wondering how much more pain they're due for, as well as to policymakers angling to prop up prices.

If you want to get green tips from the likes of Jeff Goldblum or Jane Fonda, MNN is the place to go. Given that just about the only two subjects that remain viable in today's blasted media landscape are celebrity...
...Bastiat's broken-window fallacy. Just as a broken window creates work for the glazier at the expense of the window owner, money that Kinsley hopes to inject into the economy must first be taken out of it. Add in collection costs and the usual political malfeasance, and we have a net loss to the economy. There's more: Kinsley argues that last summer's high oil prices were essentially a tax on consumers; the money just went to oil companies instead of the government. But he forgets that oil companies do not have control over their prices. If they...
