At Least Semi-Literate
A Content Generating Machine
Obviously, I’m not talking about me. I’m talking about Newscoma, who normally writes more before 9 am than I get to read all day. How lucky am I to get to work on a new project with someone like that? There’s a lot of buzz in the blogosphere right now about the demise of newspapers [...]
The Death of News Stories?
I was running with @Mr_Schwartz the other day, and we were (once again) coming up with solutions to the world’s most difficult problems. Unfortunately for the world, I’m not doing too much distance these days, so there isn’t enough time to fix every problem. Nonetheless, the topic of conversation this cold and rainy night was [...]
Back by Popular Demand
Actually no demand at all, but I’ve added the poll back onto the site. I don’t think anyone missed it, or if they did I didn’t hear about it. But, as Say Uncle says, “Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.” I think he only says that because “Powered by Spite” was taken. [...]
Where Are We Going? And Why Am I in This Handbasket?
At last night’s Knoxville Overground Awards I was talking to Jen, who I’d previously known only through Twitter, about how closely we are aligned in our political philosophy. As I told her, I think there may be only two of us left, so it probably isn’t safe or wise for us to be in the [...]
Paying it Forward With a Book
So this is really cool… I pre-ordered Seth Godin‘s new book Tribes through Amazon. It’s not supposed to come out until October 16th, but I received the book in the mail today. Odd. Folded inside the book was a letter thanking me for pre-ordering his book on faith. This book, the one I received today, [...]
Libertarian Party Baffles Me
I commented a long time ago that the LP should forget about a national campaign simply because it is a waste of resources. Â Since then, Bob Barr has alienated a huge part of the core of the LP. Â The presumed justification for nominating him at the convention was to compromise a piece of the what [...]
So Crazy It Just Might Work
What, exactly, is it the Department of Education does again? Are we to take solace in the fact that the British national education system is as screwed up as ours? H/T Why Homeschool?
Penn and Teller Call Bullshit on Al Gore
Check out this great clip from Penn and Teller’s show “Bullshit”. Al Gore is such a clown, but the scary kind of clown. Penn and Teller, on the other hand, are funny. Good pub for the Tennessee Center for Policy Research here, which highlights Gore’s overuse of power while trying to make everyone else in [...]
A Simple Tip for McCain
Dear Senator McCain, I’m not sure why Senator Obama is busy campaigning in other countries. I thought his goal was to be President of this country. This seems like a point you, who also claim to want to be our President, would want to exploit. I’m sorry none of the members of your posse thought [...]
But I Thought It Was About Limits
I don’t want to put words in anyone’s mouth here, but it seems like the Left (correctly) despises the idea of one man, the President, and more specifically the current President having too much power to regulate. They see this as a dangerous proposition to individual liberty. I tend to agree. Why, then, do they [...]
