  • Desperate for distractions

    Gay Marriage. It is huge news right now. North Carolina voters just rejected it, and President Obama has decided that he can score political points by dramatically flip-flopping from his previous opposition to support. This post is not about whether it is a good idea for gay couples to be inviting the government into their private…

  • Nothing You Can Do

    Over at Ulsterman they are discussing Ron Paul. One (presumably conservative) commenter said: “There is nothing you can do with 10% of the population.” To which I replied: Except supply the margin to win elections.

  • Put An End To The Big Stink

      Defeat BO.  

  • A Definition

      Definition: libertarian – a person whose politics is hated by both mainstream parties.  

  • “Collateral damage.” How the DEA defines your business, your freedom, and your life.

    In a story that would be touching in the ordinary context, an 88 year old man and his 85 year old girlfriend built a portable water purification business from a dream to a reality. Nothing wrong there; such things are supposed to be part of the American Dream. But now, their business is being ruined by…

  • Don’t Use Wajam

    There is a new video reader out there called Wajam. Don’t use it. I will have more to report when I have removed the Wajam tool bar that the Fucks installed despite me telling the installer not to. I can’t figure out how to correct the problem. Plus using the normal Classical Values toolbar is…

  • Know Your Enemies

    The Parties Of Interzone. Liquefactionist The Liquefactionists are a party who base themselves on consuming (liquidating) one another, until everyone is liquidated into one person. As Burroughs says, the party will turn in on themselves, eventually, only one man will be left. This parodies racism and totalitarianism, with man’s hatred of one another ultimately leading…

  • Plaintive plea for purrfessional help!

    I am very proud to see that Sarah is guest blogging at Instapundit. Moreover, she is behaving in a very purrfessional manner! It probably won’t surprise anyone that since I aspire to being the mad-cat-woman of science fiction (Yes, the competition is stiff.  Well, actually it’s soft, fuzzy and on occasion purrs) I love the…

  • Change should be a choice

    Speaking of the things They do to Us (and the frustration almost makes me understand the silly emotions that drive the 1% versus 99% dichotomy), I am one of those stubborn clingers to the past who wants to keep my Windows XP — a perfectly good OS that serves my needs. Anyway, simply because I…

  • thon maxed

    Using a new browser. WTF? I can’t remember… It’s….. Maxthon. That’s what it is. A friend just told me about it after the umpteenth Firefox crash. Why they do these things to us, I don’t know. Nor do I know how seriously to take this new browser, but Google is taking Maxthon seriously: On April 10,…

  • None Of Their Business

    From Johnson (Pres) and Gray (VP) running on the Libertarian ticket.

  • Sarah Hoyt Standing In For Instapundit

    Sarah Hoyt Is Standing In For Instapundit. She starts out with: My name is Sarah A. Hoyt and I’m a writer. It’s been six hours since I last wrote– I know the feeling.

  • NOT Working For The American Dream

    A student at Valencia College writes: As human beings, we are not really responsible for our own acts and so we need government to control those who do not care about others. H/T Zero Hedge

  • If I start an argument with myself and no one hears it, am I really having an argument?

    Speaking of not wanting to start arguments, my post last night depressed me, because I couldn’t figure out whether by voicing a thought, I might be guilty of starting an argument. I mean, my normal process in everyday life is to just throw private fits when I see something I disagree with. I’ll curse and…

  • The NWO Has A SWAT Team

    I am amused at my my Right Wing Brethren decrying the militarization of the police. And yet the Right in America fully supports Drug Prohibition. The main use of these militarized police. It makes ya wonder. I’m trying to figure out if I should laugh or cry.

  • The Expense Of It All

    Education has never been cheaper. Credentials never more expensive.

  • Who You Callin’ Boy?

    The lead up to the really good stuff happens about 1:05 into the video. This is interesting and may shed further light on the subject: Urban dictionary: Bow Tying H/T Instapundit and the commenters at Wagist for Bow Tying.

  • At least they’re not demanding special parking places (and an end to second story walk-ups)

    I’m not surprised to see “science” confirm that heavily tattooed or pierced people are more likely to drink to excess. As M. Simon has pointed out many times in a slightly different context, people who suffer from PTSD are likely to do all sorts of destructive things which overlap and can thus be said to…

  • Electronics Geek Day At Classical Values

    Eric has just written a post about the pros and cons of buying electronics. I have just written a post for ECN about making electronics and I’m also selling. If you are super geeky and into making electronics (or just want to learn a little) check it out. I’m happy to answer any questions you…

  • Out of touch with inner workings

    I have a computer which runs a Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU. Although the machine is plenty fast I could stick in a faster CPU, like a Core 2 Quad Q6600 which I am told would be “twice as fast.” While keeping up with the Joneses often makes me feel twice as slow, if you…
