Gary Johnson pulled one million votes. About 1% of the total. I voted for Johnson. 1% free.

I was under the impression that Jesus was against making morality a political issue.

One of our commenters asked: OK, the Democrats did the “vote for us, get free stuff” thing first and aren’t going to quit. Given that nobody wants to be told to eat their vegetables, what’s left for the GOP to offer? “We will leave you alone, totally.” has considerable appeal. See Colorado. See Washington State.…

Colorado Legalizes. Washington State Legalizes Massachusetts Goes For Med Pot

According to Google’s Election Map Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate, looks to be winning about 1% of the vote nationwide. That would make 2012 their best showing in a long time.

I thought a little relief from the last days before the election might be in order. Probably Not Safe For Work. But most amusing. In a semi-adult childish way. Another bit of amusement in the same vein.

Eric just did a post on Too taboo for who? wondering why some things are forbidden. Funny. Also funny in the same vein is this video by a former European Drug Czar explaining why some drugs are forbidden. OK. I’ll give away the punch line. It is the same reason for the forbiddenness of the…

If you read around the net much you will come across something like this: “I paid $50K for a college degree. I have a job in my field (Chem Eng) but the debt is killing me.” What he is saying is that he got scammed by the school racket to pay $50K for knowledge that…

H/T Investors Business Daily. Update: 31 Oct 2012 23:15z Rumors are swirling that at least two networks have leaked e-mails about the Benghazi stand down. No definite word yet either on the media stand down order.

Former Commander of the Pacific Fleet Admiral James Lyons is one of the the most highly regarded members of the American military. He explains what was going on in Libya. We now know why Ambassador Christopher Stevens had to be in Benghazi the night of 9/11 to meet a Turkish representative, even though he feared…

Commenter Aristotle120 suggest that that I give the Diplomad a look. I did and found this. “Fast and Furious” was about “proving” that America’s “lax” gun laws, and the Red State attitude toward guns fueled the drug violence in Mexico. Drug violence does not, in this view, exist because of the insatiable appetite for drugs…

Not me. The guy in the video. It is all about the Colorado legalization vote.

From an e-mail: After today, there are just 10 days left until Colorado can make history by becoming the first state to regulate marijuana like alcohol. I’ve been working on this issue in Colorado for six years now, and I can’t even begin to explain to you how excited I am now that victory is…

The father of Tyrone Woods, a Navy SEAL who was killed in the terrorist attack at the American consulate in Benghazi speaks out. Funny, but I feel like Tyrone is one of my men and I am responsible for him. Must be my old Navy training kicking in. Or the FORCE giving me a kick.…

Obama revealed and unraveled. You can watch the whole hour of video here for free. The Hope and The Change. Pass it on. Especially to people you want to vote against Obama. Or at least stay home.

Some of you might like to know what I have been doing these days. Lots of electronics work. I’m a designing fiend every day, all the time. When I’m not designing I’m building my designs. My latest is a power supply for powering the things I’m building. You can read about it and see a…

Not Safe For Work and for the color impaired: Not Safe For Work FWIW I’m voting for Gary Johnson and Jim Gray. I live in Illinois. I have a “free” vote.

It is a depression. Except for the cronies.
