This Republican Primary is just fascinating. Mitt Romney fades in South Carolina because of concerns that he may be too rich and not paying enough taxes. On the other hand, Newt Gingrich surges because of new revelations about his infidelity. Wow. Can somebody explain the Republican platform to me? I’m just really confused right now.

Nobody writes on this blog anymore!
Posted in Politics on December 17, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Nobody has posted anything on this blog in a long time. I’m wondering why that is. Are all the writers too busy? Have past discussions gotten too divisive? Do we have different blogs that we like better? Hmmm? Or is it possibly because of the ridiculous state of politics in America right now? Whatever the [...]
Reason for Conservatives to celebrate
Posted in Politics, tagged Politics on July 11, 2011 | 11 Comments »
I would imagine that conservatives should be very happy about the increase in unemployment announced last week. For one, they can blame the Obama administration for it, and two, because the increase is the result of a half a million reduction in public sector jobs, and they want that, too.
Interesting Question
Posted in Politics on April 30, 2011 | 2 Comments »
In my last post, I came across a question that I found interesting, so I thought I’d turn it into a post. Right now, Republicans are attempting to dismantle the Affordable Care Act with legal action claiming that it’s unconstitutional for the government to require people to purchase health care. Of course the reason for [...]
I’m not your “American People.”
Posted in Politics on April 10, 2011 | 18 Comments »
I haven’t posted anything on this blog in a long time, and that’s not because I’ve had nothing to say. It’s because I believe that this country is in a cold civil war right now. It’s very clear that politicians no longer believe in policies based on common ground. Instead, they aim to defeat opposing [...]
Who Will Apologize To Toyota?
Posted in Culture, Economics, Politics, tagged driver error, NASA, NHTSA, recall, sudden acceleration, Toyota, Wall Street Journal on February 9, 2011 | 6 Comments »
Almost a year ago I wrote a post about Toyota and the troubles they were having with recalls and sudden acceleration problems. The post and ensuing comments almost entirely dealt with the issue as a proxy for capitalism in general. The Wall Street Journal reports today that the NHTSA has released its findings from a [...]
The Income Gap

Here’s a hypothetical that I’d ask my readers to consider: Let’s suppose you have a job with a boss (probably not a great leap of imagination) and let’s say, just to heighten my point, that you personally dislike your boss. Which scenario would you prefer? A) In this new year, you get a $10,000 raise, [...]
It was a bad compromise
Posted in Politics on December 19, 2010 | 15 Comments »
Well, I’m not happy with the compromise on tax cuts and unemployment benefits. Yesterday, I started my argument against this compromise but during my process, I heard a piece on NPR that articulated my concerns much better than I could have. In this piece, David Stockman, who was the Director of the Office of Management [...]
Why They Can’t Stop The Leaks

The revolution began in the late 1970’s but the first shot was fired in 1992 when a group of civil libertarian cryptologists, known as the Cypherpunks, started a mailing list. By 1997, there were thousands of subscribers who discussed politics, privacy, cryptography, philosophy, and wrote code. While the net was still in its infancy, these [...]
Unions Are Like Babies…

…fun when they are actually doing something cute – but usually just crying, and shitting all over. Okay, just kidding… unions are never cute. My long absence from writing was re-awoken this morning upon seeing the picture below in the Wall Street Journal. The French, if you didn’t know, are embroiled in major strikes because [...]
