  • Because he doesn’t need to be a candidate to be worth watching and hearing


    Link for those who can’t see the video
    My personal hope is that Bush is letting the Iran stuff drag on just as a favor to the oil industry to make sure they have a place for him when he leaves office.  He can’t possibly want to an another undeclared war, […]

    This isn’t a mobile phone blog, but…

    Obviously, I’m obsessing over this post about Motorola (see my Tumblr rss feed in the side bar as well as the previous post). But while the letter is prophetic, I have to comment on this:
    In order to turn the handset division around, you need to bring in another Frost; someone worldly and dynamic who […]

    The quick obligatory recession post

    I found enough coins to treat myself to some coffee across the intersection at Panera Bread Company.  When I reached the counter I saw a nice sign standing there with the Panera Bread company logo, colors, and 2008 copyright notice.  I tried to take a picture, but my phone’s camera isn’t good and I don’t […]

    The Dems want to continue the Iraq war but pretend that they are different than the Republicans

    And the anti-war groups, being leftist first, and anti-war second, are going to give them cover.
    I’m not commenting on the ethics of the war here. I’m just stating the obvious. The Dems can still continue and expand our interventions without those “agreements” that Bush wants to make with the Iraqis. So the […]

    Sheriff: SWAT Team Necessary Because Man Is a “Self-Proclaimed Constitutionalist”

    From the Reason blog.
    My political take-away: more evidence of the country in the handbasket going you know where.
    My personal take-away: be really nice and compliant to officials unless you want to be terrorized at gun point.  The “triumph” of getting away with rudeness is just not worth the risk.  Face it: we’re slaves.  So be […]

    Exclusive: Conquering the Drawbacks of Democracy

    They removed the article but you can read it here. An excerpt.
    By elevating popular fancy over truth, Democracy is clearly an enemy of not just truth, but duty and justice, which makes it the worst form of government. […]

    Democracy is easier if the minorities can be terrorized and driven off

    Although the violence appears to be more anarchic than concerted, it has had the same effect as an organized campaign to destroy Iraq’s Assyrians. Virtually every member of the community is under siege….
    Christian women are particularly vulnerable. BetBasoo writes: “Often incidents do not end with the prisoner’s release. In one case in Baghdad, the victim […]

    Blogging can destroy you in court and freak out corporations

    On my professional bivocational side I’ve been doing some corporate work. Since I doubt any of my readers are lookng for medmal issues, they probably missed a couple of issues that shoul interest any blogger–because they are about blogging:

    Your “anonymous” blog can force you to settle.
    If you fire a long-standing exec from your corporation […]

    Very disappointing

    I’m hoping Ron Paul never really wrote those things.

    Is this the report?

    I claimed last week that the report was out.
    But is it?
    Why is it posted in an online magazine and not here?
    Has anyone out there registered? Is the report included in your commisioner’s handbook for GA?
    Strange.

    Great editorial on gun control and the VA Tech massacre

    Gun Control Isn’t Crime Control by John Stossel.
    Read the whole thing but here are a couple of highlights:
    After the 1997 shooting of 16 kids in Dunblane, England, the United Kingdom passed one of the strictest gun-control laws in the world, banning its citizens from owning almost all types of handguns. Britain seemed to get safer […]

    The post where I act like a neocon, being brave from a distance

    This post was marginal to begin with, but now I am confident it has no bearing on the Virginia Tech matter.  I leave it up only because I think the issues are important.  They just don’t have relevance to the event. 
    OK, I’ve not said much about Virginia Tech. There is a reason. For […]
