About the only surprise coming out of the recent US election was Puerto Rico's foolish vote to seek statehood. People, you don't board the Titanic after it has hit the iceberg. In time Puerto Ricans will learn what Quebec separatists have already painfully absorbed. If fence-sitting is your main tactic for extorting favors from larger … Continue reading Election Reflections

Bankrupt Nation Wins the Olympics
Thanks to the all squiggling FSM it's finally over! We, (citizens of the USA for the rest of you losers), have triumphed! We crushed those upstart crony Chinese communists, smothered our long-standing Russian adversaries and overwhelmed our cocky British hosts. All that remains is to hear the sweet loser chanting about how it's not about medals, or countries, … Continue reading Bankrupt Nation Wins the Olympics
Where’s the Olympic beach?
Readers of this blog know that I do not approve of the Olympics. What started out as an eccentric bit of 19th century classics nostalgia has morphed into the expensive, corrupt, drug fueled, real-estate orgy we endure today. Whatever athletic ideals the Olympic movement espoused died on national and corporate altars decades ago. By the time … Continue reading Where’s the Olympic beach?
Executioners should be selected like jurors
Would you execute this man? Jonah Goldberg makes an excellent point in his recent column about how the media always exploits shooting sprees to push for gun control but seldom asks --- what should we do with mass murders? To my right-wingy, death-beasty, vengeance-seeking, cowboy mind James Holmes, the Colorado Dark Knight Rises cinema shooter, … Continue reading Executioners should be selected like jurors

Controlling Cell Phones the new IT Frontier
Personal cell phones are on the IT hit list. It won’t be long before your employer starts jamming or confiscating your personal cell phone. Wait a minute isn’t that a tad hyperbolic? Wouldn’t that trigger an avalanche of “freedom of speech” lawsuits? Wouldn’t people yell “fornicate elsewhere” and quit? Ahh, if only it were so. … Continue reading Controlling Cell Phones the new IT Frontier
Brett Kimblerlin Free Speech Hating Criminal SOS
Today I’m joining a free speech blogburst in support of bloggers harassed and threatened by Brett Kimberlin (SOS) and his butt monkeys. Brett has a problem with people pointing out his bomb detonating criminal terrorist past, but unlike your typical effeminate impotent lefty whiner, Brett isn’t going to take any truth-telling lying down. No Brett … Continue reading Brett Kimblerlin Free Speech Hating Criminal SOS
The Instagram Metadata Massacre
Instagram Fingers I've been playing around with the iPhone app Instagram. I decided to give this freebie a try after a gaggle of soulless self promoting Apple marketing zombies declared it "imaging app of the year." Instagram, like Hipstamatic, (which incidentally stopped working after the last update), crops iPhone images to squares, applies hokey filters and then offers … Continue reading The Instagram Metadata Massacre
Iranian Regime Justice is pathetic Sharia Savagery.
Yousef Nadarkhani I rarely comment on the "news" but the planned execution of Yousef Nadarkhani for the make-believe crime of Islamic apostasy has really pissed me off. Once again the Iranian branch of the "religion of peace" shows its primitive, ass-backwards, subhuman side to a stunned world that finds it hard to believe that changing your mind about fictitious religious nonsense is … Continue reading Iranian Regime Justice is pathetic Sharia Savagery.
1421: The Crank History of Gavin Menzies
Click here for a PDF version of this post. Crank history is big business and it's getting bigger. For reasons that infuriate skeptics there is a never-ending parade of pseudo-historians spouting rubbish that is eagerly devoured by a credulous pig ignorant public. Gavin Menzies' ludicrous tome, 1421: The Year China Discovered America, (also titled 1421: … Continue reading 1421: The Crank History of Gavin Menzies
