New Feed Subscriptions in September
Here are all of the new sites I added to my reader in September. When I say “new” I mean new to me in most cases. Total Diatribe If you were impressed with Billymacs ability to consume adult beverages, you’ll be even more impressed with his ability to find nutty stuff and add cleverly biting [...]
Ahmadinejad’s Response to Columbia University
He said Bollinger’s comments included “insults” and false claims, and flew in the face of an environment that’s supposed to let people speak their minds. This was Ahmadinejad’s response to the introduction given by Columbia University’s President, Lee Bollinger, where he also called Ahmadinejad a “petty, cruel dictator”. Ahmadinejad is dead wrong, and his response [...]
Violence Isn’t Cost Effective Anymore
This TED talk by Steven Pinker is pretty interesting. I’ll let all of his side comments, such as crediting Bill Clinton with the decline of violent crime in the 1990s, go. The most interesting aspect of this talk is not that violence is decreasing over time, but why violence is decreasing. It seems pretty simple [...]
Vanessa Hudgens, Nude Photos, and Total Jackasses
What are these people thinking? And I’m not necessarily talking only about the minor celebrities or local news people who have sex tapes or nude photos out there floating around. It shouldn’t be too much of a leap to think that we will only hear about a very small percentage of the ones that exist. [...]
Ron Paul on Bill O’Reilly
Three things you can count on when being interviewed by O’Reilly 1) If you are against the war, your answers to questions regarding it will be the voice over for video of angry Muslims protesting and/or burning the American flag. They are very aware that their viewership values images over words, and a large portion [...]
Simplifying Dr. Paul’s Foreign Policy (Again)
Of the candidates in the debate last night, Ron Paul is the only one who advocates leaving Iraq immediately. Here’s a simple analogy. If you walk into a nest of hornets, they are bound to attack you. We’ll assume that you didn’t know you were walking into a hornet nest before, although that isn’t necessarily [...]
So Just What is Government Health Care?
Mitt Romney isn’t in favor of government health care. He doesn’t want the government to pay for people’s health care. He wants you to choose your own private insurance plan (from a select few approved by the government), and the government can then subsidize it. You see the difference? Through subsidies, he will be able [...]
Ron Paul with Stephanopolous
Stephanopolous acts like he’s never heard any of this before…unbelievable. And the look on his face when he tells Dr. Paul, “that’s not going to happen.” What a twerp. George hates hates hates than Ron Paul doesn’t play by the political rules of status quo Washington. However, it is at least good that Ron Paul [...]
Ron Paul Has More Than McCain
We already know that Ron Paul is the most fiscally conservative candidate, and today George Stephanopoulos reports that Dr. Paul now has more money in his coffers than McCain. It makes me wish I hadn’t blocked McCain ads on my site…run him even further down. This makes Ron Paul a distant third in the money, [...]
Bad Ass Garmin Video
I saw the commercial during Colbert last night and found the video on YouTube. If this thing can make me pee laser beams like the Garmin-man in the video does, I’ll buy one today. [youtube taRPwYe1EYA]
