Month: December 2017

  • Happy New Year!

  • Merry Christmas!

  • Cleaning up after asses

    Perhaps my logic isn’t as good as it should be, but I’m having a bit of trouble understanding something, so I decided to share it here in the hope of summoning the collective mental processing power of the commenters. In a local Ann Arbor park which is frequented by dog owners, someone — most likely…

  • Fake wars help real wars

    With the train derailment pushed to the back burner, much is being made on Fox News of “the secret backstory” of how Obama helped Hezbollah. Naturally, the DEA drug warriors are being spun as patriotic heroes: The campaign, dubbed Project Cassandra, was launched in 2008 after the Drug Enforcement Administration amassed evidence that Hezbollah had…

  • Train derailment is easy!

    Too easy.  Any blacksmith, welder, or tinkerer could easily make one of these: Terrorists are being taught how to do it. This is not to say that this is what happened in Washington earlier today, but I see no easy way to prevent it from happening.

  • Unwanted resuscitation?

    Enjoying my death? Not quite yet. Although, the thought had crossed my mind in the context of Roy Moore… I have to say that no one else could have gotten me off my ass to write an actual blog post — much less three… So perhaps I should thank the son of a bitch. As an…

  • A lose-lose no matter what?

    If Roy Moore wins tonight (which I think he will), Trump loses. And, if Roy Moore loses, Trump also loses. That’s the price of deliberately shackling himself to such a nutcase. UPDATE: Wow. Much as I hate to say it, I think congratulations — of a perverse sort, obviously — are in order for Roy…

  • The Humor Of Circuit Designers

    It is a tad macabre. But perhaps it is the material he had to work with.

  • Moore fun?

    From Reason: I might find this funny if I didn’t think the man will be elected on Tuesday. UPDATE: While few people know it, there is a libertarian alternative to Moore and Jones: Republicans are frantically looking for a write-in candidate. They don’t need to bother. Libertarian Ron Bishop is already a write-in candidate, excluded…

  • The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away

    If you try to be a good little citizen and comply with what the Law requires, you could find yourself royally screwed (pun intended unintentionally): Honolulu residents who legally complied with requirements that they enter themselves in both registries have received threatening letters signed by officials including Honolulu Police Chief Susan Ballard. These letters read, in…
