The folks at Patriot Action Network have linked to some new Ulsterman posts. Are they true? Are they false? Who knows? Only time will tell. But they sure as hell are very entertaining. WHITE HOUSE INSIDER ON OBAMA: I’d Kick His Ass Into The F-cking Dirt… Ulsterman: That’s all rather mysterious – a bit dramatic…

As many of you know I have been attracted to the Gary Johnson for President Campaign. Unfortunately he has dropped out of the race (supposedly it will be official on the 28th). Which is why I look forward to voting for him. Confused? I have an explanation. Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson told supporters…

Dean Becker of The Drug Truth Network had this to say about the the Drug War anti-Prohibitionists (Reformers). Reform owns the moral high ground, the fiscal forum, the intellectual arena and the rational rodeo.

From The Air Vent. It seems that the world governments are escalating cliamtegate to the next level. Tallbloke a fellow recipient blog of the climategate emails, and linked on the right, was raided today in what seems to be a coordinated effort by Metropolitan Police, the Norfolk Constabulary and the Computer Crime division and the…

I got a link to the below video from a Town Hall e-mail which referred me to this Ron Paul page. Well maybe they didn’t go libertarian – just anti-Gingrich. BTW it would be interesting to see how Ron Paul’s net worth changed from his time in Congress. He had to pay Town Hall something…

I haven’t been doing much politics lately (well not as much as I used to) but my latest ECN article, Good Politics, is about correcting an error made by our government in the 30s (it takes the stupids in Washington a while to wise up). And it is relevant to electronics and the whole tech…

No. I didn’t misspell crisis. Because when you understand it you will cry too. Hypothecation ReHypothecation

FYI Newt’s name is not Johnny. Fire On The Mountain

Three Dog Night. Shambhala Booksellers In Berkeley Closes. It was one of my favorite places when I lived in Berkeley. I bought my first Aleister Crowley book, Magick In Theory And Practice, there.

And that is not a cause of indigestion at all. But it is natural. It is shale gas. SHANGHAI (AP) — China is reporting discoveries of major shale gas reserves in its western Sichuan region, a development that could drastically boost its domestic supplies of natural gas and temper demand for imports. State-owned China National…

My friend Karridine reports: Friends, Good news, less-good news… The less-good news is, there’s no NEW flooding hitting us in the Bangkok river-delta flood-basin, and that’s FINE for now. The GOOD news is, we took flood-relief out to affected Thais (and others) in the Bangkok area this last week, because BAD news is that much…

This is a confirmation of Eric’s point in Remember Pearl Harbor. Too many people think that stuff like that will never happen again. They have already been proven wrong.

Liberals love the Government tit. But so do conservatives. The difference? Liberals love the left tit and conservatives love the right. Some difference.

I have a new one up at ECN Magazine, I Love The Sound Of Hetrodyne Whistles. It is an evaluation of an electronics kit suitable for kids (perfect for the holiday season). And I also discuss how my love of electronics came about. Cross Posted at Power and Control

This short video explains the “news”.

Story here.

The DA in Houston, Pat Lycos, is no longer prosecuting drug pipe residue cases. The police in the area (10,000 strong) don’t like it. They called it the War on Drugs; to cynics, it was the new Jim Crow.  The national policies against illegal drug use in the 1990s had the pernicious effect of wholesale…

I sleep and work in a 10ft by 10ft bedroom. This is my favorite part: The title of this post came from this song. About 1:15 in.

I’m not writing politics so much these days because I’m doing Electronics. My latest is here: Electronic Tools (software) – mostly free. And a little electronic music (and singing) to go with your tools. and
