More To Love About Living In The United States
I love the anti-John Edwards post by Glen Dean. Perhaps Edwards should promise to provide all “poor” households with Tivo or DVR. Maybe he could promise every poor family a $50 gift card to Applebees. It really must be difficult to be a poverty pimping populist these days. I have to agree. This is the [...]
Hurricane Dean — Operation Mexico cleanup (phase 2)
Amazingly, Hurricane Dean has stayed true to the forecast. NHC reports winds of 100mph and central pressure of 979mb. Dean is growing but does not have much time before land fall this afternoon. Dean has always been a fast moving storm…..this lead to it’s eventual demise.  There are not many resorts in this area [...]
George Will on the Declaration of Dependence
George Will’s column today is really worth a read on FDR and how the New Deal did little more than continue the depression longer than it’s natural course and have placed us in our current situation of dependence on the State. Much to the horror of my grandfather, I have long believed that FDR was [...]
Local Currencies — A Brilliant Idea
CNN has the story of a local community printing its own currency that tracks to the dollar at a rate of 1 BerkShare (the local currency) to $.90. Yes, this is legal. Since large national chains aren’t entering into agreements to accept local bills, only the small, locally owned shops are accepting them. And based [...]
Eaton Beavers
I was telling some guys I work with about how my blog traffic was recently affected by the Barbie Cummings story, and we started talking about funny porn names. I was telling them about some guys I knew in college who either made up funny names or just had funny nicknames and the funny stories [...]
Venezuela, Can We Have Your Soap Opera Stars?

Soap opera stars leading a march may not sound like a big deal, but soap [...]
Where Does Our Tax Money Go?
The Washington Times has a breakdown of where the $21,992 collected per household goes. By the way, the federal government will spend $24,106 per household. I don’t know how you do your budget in your house, but that doesn’t add up at mine. Here’s a quick list of where the money goes, with some commentary [...]
Education and Money Produce Terrorists
At least it produces more successful ones. There is enough moral, psychological and sometimes financial payoff from the act of killing many people to offset the economic loss of their death. Therefore, the terrorist manager assigns the most deadly tasks to the highest-caliber people; otherwise, they will not bother. In an awful way, it makes [...]
Why Competition and Free Markets Benefit Everyone–Professional Wrestling
Huh? Think professional wrestling has nothing to do with legitimate competition? Read on… I’m proud to admit that I’m a big fan of professional wrestling. I have been since I was a kid. Back then, when I thought it was real, I was drawn in by the characters, the storylines, the drama, and the suspense. [...]
