The “taint” of politics

January 31, 2006

If you haven’t seen THIS hilarious segment from the Daily Show on Comedy Central, I suggest you take a look-see. It’s about 4 minutes long, and it doesn’t really get rolling until about a minute and a half into it, after they set it up with news about Abramoff and some other political goings-on.
here […]

Is Brett Favre and idiot? Doink says “yes”

January 31, 2006

This is a little off-topic, and by “a little,” I really mean “alot,” so please bear with me. I came across some most joyous news, coincidentally on the eve that Brett Favre announces that he is seriously pondering retirement from his storied NFL career.
Look: I don’t hate Brett Favre. I just think he’s […]

MSNBC readers = morons

January 30, 2006

With the headlines about Exxon Mobil’s record profits for 2005, the previously hot topic of gas prices is once again rearing it’s politically manipulative head. It just won’t go away.
The following online poll further solidifies my belief that people, in general, are idiots, (see my previous rant about this) with no redeeming qualities whatsoever, […]

Right now it’s unseasonably warm, high 40s. My guess […]

January 27, 2006

Glad to see the Labor Theory of Value is still alive and well throughout the world these days. Because, if you repeat it often enough, it becomes the truth, right? Well, not so much. Lest I remind the good folks over at Workers World Online (come on, say you were surprised!), Lest I […]

on paternal donor anonymity

January 26, 2006

Apologies, it’s kind of long….Yesterday, Kip posed a very interesting question. My first inclination was to disagree, but he made some very good points. But I think I’ve come back around to my initial dissent.
Does a child conceived by artificial insemination, in accordance with an agreement whereby at least one of […]

Ideas: The King’s Friends

January 26, 2006

Just a brief follow-up - David Friedman penned (do you still pen an article in these days of push button publishing?) titled Ideas: The King’s Friends. He adds a little historical/common law analysis to the domestic spying issue I wrote about yesterday night.
The thing to remember, which Friedman, and Kip make note of - […]
