Under the bus
Posted on November 6th, 2008 by mark
Campaign handlers need to campaign against her, and I suspect the moderate GOPs who gave us McCain do to.
(My initial interpretation of what happened was completely bogus. See Chris’ correction below).

Tasergate
Posted on October 2nd, 2008 by mark
I’ve got a book coming out (I think) that goes into the details, so I won’t talk here about the so-called “TrooperGate” and the bizarre political theatre being acted out in Juneau.
I do wonder though if Alaska will be worse off for Palin’s absence. It looks as if there was yet another “good old boy” […]

If GOP wins, is there any chance that Palin can resist being Quayled?
Posted on September 12th, 2008 by mark
Hope so. If not:
Palin will be to McCain what Spiro Agnew was to Richard Nixon and Dan Quayle was to George H. W. Bush — conservative vice presidents who had virtually no impact on the moderate presidents they served. In a McCain administration, it is more likely that we would see Lieberman appointed Secretary of […]

Terrorism in the Middle East
Posted on September 8th, 2008 by mark
Here’s the story from the San Francisco Chronicle:
Safety pins and screws are still lodged in 15-year-old Ami Ortiz’s body three months after he opened a booby-trapped gift basket sent to his family. The explosion severed two toes, damaged his hearing and harmed a promising basketball career.

McBama on war
Posted on August 16th, 2008 by mark
In short: if you love GWB, you’ll love President Saakashvili. Therefore it’s no surprise John McCain is portraying the Georgians as the good guys and demanding that Russian troops leave “sovereign Georgian territory” without preconditions or delay. After all, when your chief foreign policy adviser has […]

The quick obligatory recession post
Posted on March 29th, 2008 by mark
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 […]

If McCain wasn’t so hawkish, this would persuade me
Posted on October 18th, 2007 by mark
I took out the last sentence since my social theory isn’t Lutheran, but I thought the stuff below was stellar.
I also think that McCain was entirely correct on the immigration issue. Sometimes I don’t understand my fellow conservatives. Aside from immigration laws being government regulations that prevent people from seeking economic prosperity — and when […]

Congratulations to Dr. R. C. Sproul
Posted on September 14th, 2007 by mark
From what I hear he is now both the new chairman of the board and the Chancellor of Knox Theological Seminary.
May God be with him as he takes on his new responsibilities.

The business model and dealing with the deviant customer
Posted on September 8th, 2007 by mark
Promise unlimited service.
Expect users to operate within undisclosed limits
Feel free to call those customers who violate your limits bad names and terminate the promised service.
I remember hearing rumors that Netflix was “holding” the movies of users who were returning them too fast. They were expecting the average user to hang on to them longer.
But […]

Hollywood officially out of ideas
Posted on September 3rd, 2007 by mark
I just heard on my G4 gaming news podcast that “they” (?) are making a movie based on the arcade game–can you believe this?–Joust. Better. It will be set in a future Las Vegas that hovers up in the sky.
I doubt I’m ever going to see that movie, but I would have purchased tickets to […]

Exclusive: Conquering the Drawbacks of Democracy
Philip Atkinson

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. […]

YouTube Videos Encouraging Anorexia
Thursday August 16, 2007
CityNews.ca Staff
They are encouraging your kids not to eat. There are more than 8,000 YouTube videos telling young girls that skinny is the way to go, and giving them some disturbing role models. Do people really pay attention to these so-called ‘Thinspos’ - short for Thinspiration videos?
The Negative: Every […]
