Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Dick Polman has a list of questions he believes should be asked of Sarah Palin, and one of them compares AIP founder Joe Vogler to Jeremiah Wright, without (IMO) laying a proper foundation that the two even knew each other, much less saw each other weekly for decades. …why do you continue to associate with…

By now everyone realizes that Google seeks world domination, and their new browser, Chrome, gives us the reason why we should make the switch. Apparently because Simon says:

From the looks of this outfit, it really and truly appears that the men’s fashion industry is involved in a conspiracy to upset Ann Althouse. (Via Glenn Reynolds, who properly calls the above “A MEN’S FASHION EEEEW!”) My conspiracy theory doesn’t take much imagination if we consider that Ann Althouse is the most outspokenly anti-shorts-on-men…

In this video ∅bama talks about the earmarks Governor Palin accepted. That has got to be a dumb move. From a guy who is smart enough to graduate from Harvard and teach at the University of Chicago. Because the next McCain ad is going to deal with all the earmarks ∅bama voted for. Including one…

Speaking of libertarians and Sarah Palin, I can think of no fiercer libertarian pundit than Vin Suprynowicz. (He’s long been one of my favorites.) I have to say, it came as a surprise to me to see that he’s endorsing the McCain-Palin ticket. Not that he considers McCain a libertarian. But then, McCain is not…

Abe Greenwald has a post titled “Oprah Windbag” — the gist of which is that Oprah Winfrey is (surprise) putting politics ahead of her purported tear-driven concerns about children with Down’s Syndrome. Apparently, her concerns are so tear-soaked that her false eyelashes are affected: The web of “spiritual” gobbledygook around the Oprah Winfrey phenomenon is…

I did a couple of posts earlier in this election season on election fraud. You can read them at What Counts? and at Black Box Voting. So what is to be done to prevent this election from being stolen? Here is what a commenter at No Quarter suggests. I was advised to be very alerted…

No seriously. He gets it. But before everyone gets all smug and self-righteous about the Palin selection, remember where you live. You live in a nation of gun owners and hunters. You live in a country where one out of three girls get pregnant before they are 20. You live in a nation of C…

Talk Left is discussing the pressure on Sarah Palin to do an interview. They basically have covered the bases so I’m just going to let them have their say. Pretty smart for a bunch of lefties. If you want to stop reading this post now let me just give you the short version. Those clamoring…

I’m sure by now you have heard many rumors about Sarah Palin. I think the latest is that she censors books. Well no. Here is a site and its blogspot mirror that can be used to check out rumors. It has links to sources. Palin Rumors Sarah Palin Rumors If you hear a rumor that…

A commenter named baked at Just One Minute was trying to explain ∅bama’s position on Iraq and the surge vs McCain’s position on Iraq and the surge. He wasn’t doing a very good job so Charlie(Colorado) cleared it up for him. So, baked, you’re saying you prefer someone who got it wrong once and changed…

Former San Francisco Mayor and California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown is a veteran politician who ought to know trouble when he sees it. And in today’s San Francisco Chronicle, he sees trouble — big trouble, for the Democrats — in the form of Sarah Palin: The Democrats are in trouble. Sarah Palin has totally changed…

Phyllis Chesler has written one of the most depressing posts I’ve read in a long time. (“The Coming Civil War in America.”) Chesler paints an America I would hate to live in, of two hopelessly irreconcilable “cultures” — each of which is basically at war with the other: Each of the Presidential candidates and those…

While I never like to read news reports about police kicking in the doors of people’s houses, at least this one was different: TRENTON, N.J. – Cries for help inside a Trenton, N.J., home turned out to be for the birds. Neighbors called police Wednesday morning after hearing a woman’s persistent cry of “Help me!…
