The President says we need to treat drugs as a medical problem. Gee I didn’t know they were sick. Is there a plant pathologist in the room? Today, in response to a video question from a former deputy sheriff about whether it is time to discuss legalizing and regulating drugs in light of the failure…

Eric in his post An “effective” war on drugs means war on drugs that are effective! directed me to this Megan McArdle post The Goals and Means of Meth Control where I found the following exchange most amusing: RobM1981 Here is a paradox that always makes me think about libertarianism: How many meth-lab operators have…

Eric e-mailed me a link to a rant by Matthew Jarzen discussing the social conservative (socon) pull out from CPAC. I have discussed it before at The Real Enemy and Is It Religion?. Matthew, who is evidently going to college at the present time makes some points that I would like to follow up on.…

Spengler at Asia Times makes a very good point about how Asian prosperity is hurting Muslim countries lacking exportable resources. It wasn’t the financial crisis that undermined dysfunctional Arab states, but Asian prosperity. The Arab poor have been priced out of world markets. There is no solution to Egypt’s problems within the horizon of popular…

Eric has written a post on how bad sex is leading to rape charges. I’m reminded of the old Albert King song “If It Wasn’t For Bad Sex I Wouldn’t Have No Sex At All”. Truly a sad tale put to music. Don’t listen to it. No one else does (you can’t look it up).…

My friend Eric alerted me to a boycott of CPAC by Conservative Groups over the inclusion of a gay group at the CPAC convention. Don’t they know that the real enemy is the Andromeda Galaxy? They are sending viruses to destroy us. I saw it in a movieonce. We need to unite behind the real…

I love the way Alec Baldwin flubs his lines. The male chorus though is just outstanding. Carnagie Hall 2005. The movie is good too. South Pacific (Collector’s Edition) And to get you in the proper mood may I suggest this history. Guadalcanal: The Definitive Account of the Landmark Battle and Tales of the South Pacific

Not Safe For Work And a little Frank Zappa to go with your vegetables. Not Safe For Work And what was the point of all this? The girls eating vergtables and saying bad things about men are part of a PETA Super Bowl Commercial. Cross Posted at Power and Control

In my post Hating The Andromeda Galaxy I looked at the necessity of hate in politics. I discuss some of the repercussions of that in Strange Connection. Today I came across a site discussing those very issues from a biological perspective. The Market for Sanctimony. Two unspoken questions that religions and quasi-religions, in practice, have…

With the Muslim Brotherhood so much in the news because of Egyptian happenings and Instapundit’s reprise of a 2005 Michael Totten piece I thought I would repeat a blog conversation we had in 2007. ===== I got a link from The Muslim Brotherhood. I asked Michael Totten if this was a good or a bad…

Al Jazeera streaming Internet coverage. Love the Brit accents of its reporters.

The end is nigh. Would that be front or rear? TMZ.com reported that some strip clubs surrounding Cowboys stadium are looking for an additional 10,000 girls to entertain the overwhelming crowds expected during the Packers-Steelers matchup. According to the website, Arlington city officials are expecting 300,000 visitors over Super Bowl weekend. John Walsh, the manager…

Al Jazeera Live streaming video and audio of happenings in Egypt. English.

Or War, or Anarchy, or Natural Disaster. Instapundit is looking at the question and the idea (necessity really) of amateur radio comes up. Now two way communication is excellent. But just being able to listen is good too. I like this radio: It covers from 150 KHz to 29.999 MHz in 1 KHz steps (with…

I’m discussing (well a monologue so far) the nature of politics at Libertarians Are Not Anarchists!. Commenter Peter Jackson thinks he has figured it out. There are three types of politics: the politics of social justice, the politics of public order/social virtue, and the politics of individual freedom. But he misses something deeper. There is…

That would be: Winning The Future Note that at four minutes into the video she has some very good words to say about libertarians. Palin/Johnson 2012! And do you know what comes after WTF? Stagflation and WIN buttons. Whip Inflation Now. Cross Posted at Power and Control

Eric just did a post which lightly touched on a subject near and dear to my heart. So I’m crossposting this to add my 2¢. ==== I was discussing the Drug War with a Conservative friend. And the friend was all for it. So I had some thoughts. Ah. I get it. You do not…
