Environmentalism: 99.99% Pure Unadulterated BS

I've always enjoyed Michael Crichton's novels. From the time I first read the Andromeda Strain to Congo to Jurassic Park and everything in between, he has always been an author who prides himself on novels of fiction based in fact. Let me repeat that, based in fact I say.
And that is one of [...]

Remonetization

An anonymous poster named "John Law", put this lengthy essay up recently concerning what he feels is an inevitable event in the coming future: the remonetization of precious metals, i.e. gold & silver most notably.
Remonetization has two prerequisites. One is a free public market in one or more monetizable commodities – such as gold and [...]

Ghetto Politics

Some whack job in Arizona is trying to get a measure passed that would award $1 million to a randomly selected voter after each public election.
Now I think this is a stupid idea purely on the grounds that it promotes voting not as a civic duty that we have to elect qualified individuals to represent [...]

What do a phony Ranger and Google have in common?

So I'm sitting on my couch tonight doing some light political reading. I mosey on over to Little Green Footballs and find an article about a young man named Jessie Macbeth, who apparently served as an Army Ranger for 16 months in Afghanistan/Iraq. Ok, no biggie there. But people are saying the 20 minute video [...]

UC Irvine or Tehran?

Noted bigot Norman Finkelstein was the keynote at last week's "Holocaust in the Holy Land" put on by none other than the religion of peace's own Muslim Student Union at UC Irvine.
Finkelstein thus felt right at home at the annual Israel-bashing event at UC Irvine, a hotbed of anti-Israel activism. The Crystal Cove Auditorium where [...]

Chocolate Politics

Let me just start out by saying that I think Ray Nagin is probably hands down one of the most corrupt individuals I've ever witnessed on the public political stage in recent memory. Of course Henry Kissinger said that, "…corrupt politicians make the other 10% look bad…" so I certainly am not naive enough [...]

Ronaldo coming to MLS?

Word has it that Ronaldo, the Real Madrid and Brazilian star striker, may be considering a move to the MLS to play for the Red Bulls in New York. This is on par with the NASL signing Pele in 1975. Wow!
If you're not a soccer fan and have no clue who Ronaldo is, [...]

Soccer en Vogue

The marketeers never cease to amaze me in their willingness to try anything.
Here in America and at least in recent times, soccer hasn't enjoyed what one could call, with a straight face, success. In fact, American soccer history is riddled with regional turf wars, mismanagement and failed leagues which have resulted in what appears [...]

Bushmaster Varminter

The gun is [...]

I’m Back

I used to blog. Before it was really the "thing" to do. I enjoyed it for a while. But as everyone else started to get blogs, I fell into the trap that is pervasive in the current blogosphere which says that a blog must have a singular purpose. I had several [...]
