Guam? Guam? Kim, you can't be serious! I realize you live in a self-imposed hermit kingdom where questioning your fat headed notions results in being thrown to actual dogs but surely you're aware of Baker's Law of American Cluelessness. No matter what the topic of conversation roughly one-third of the American public won't have a … Continue reading I Help Fat Little Kim Pick Nuke Targets

FCC Follies and Monkey Browsing
There is much wailing on the intertubes about proposed changes to FCC Internet privacy rules. That horrible orange Russian stooge is desecrating the Lightbringer's enlightened decrees and the usual suspects are having boringly predictable conniption fits. Apparently, our Internet privacy is now under attack and horrible things will ensue. You poor dumb fucks. You have no Internet … Continue reading FCC Follies and Monkey Browsing
On Shiny Pony and Witch Berning
This week Canada’s shiny new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is hanging out with Obama. You can imagine my excitement: two photogenic lightweights sharing a heartwarming bromance on the public’s dime. I am at a loss to imagine a more hurl inducing scenario. I shared my feelings with a terse CBC comment. As a dual US-Canadian … Continue reading On Shiny Pony and Witch Berning
American Star Chamber creates Foreign Passport Business Opportunity
Good news citizens: the putrid rogue intellects in Washington D.C. have created a brand new shiny Star Chamber. What’s a Star Chamber you ask? It’s basically a secret kangaroo court. The US system of injustice already employs an alphabet soup of Star Chambers. Perhaps you’ve heard of FISA and its outstanding work of rubber stamping … Continue reading American Star Chamber creates Foreign Passport Business Opportunity
Social Security Numbers are Broken beyond Repair
Imagine that you are buying a new set of wheels with cash. Being a cash transaction there is no need to negotiate loans or check credit; you have the money in your wallet. Usually, vendors are delighted when handed a thick wad of bills but we are living in unusual, no depraved, times. Before the … Continue reading Social Security Numbers are Broken beyond Repair
Ferguson and Dark Matter
For the last month the big story here in St. Louis has been Ferguson. At least that’s what media hucksters have sold as the big story. You will have to excuse me; my interests rarely align with “the news.” I don’t watch broadcast TV, listen to the radio, or pay for newspapers. Despite my media … Continue reading Ferguson and Dark Matter
I Voted for Nothing
I have just returned from another biannual exercise in futility: voting in mid-term US elections. Once again my preferred candidate, none of the above, was not on the ballot; so, once again, I held my nose and did my best to sabotage the fetid dreams of the rotting things that were. Any barely sentient ape … Continue reading I Voted for Nothing
Ukraine takeaway: Don’t give up your Nukes
What’s the one sentence takeaway from the unfolding Ukraine mess? Don’t give up your nukes! It’s unlikely that any of this would be happening if Ukraine had retained their nuclear weapons instead of turning them in for the magic beans of “international guarantees.” It would be interesting to review the anti-nuke sales pitches made to … Continue reading Ukraine takeaway: Don’t give up your Nukes
Bitcoin is a Perfect Protest
The most intelligent comment I have read about Bitcoin is that it’s a perfect protest. Bitcoin went live in 2009 shortly after the 2008 financial crisis. The 2008 crisis was a defining moment. Prior to that date I believed that the US government, despite its obvious warts, short comings and long checkered history was still … Continue reading Bitcoin is a Perfect Protest
Sorry PBS you already have my Money
PBS is begging for money again. PBS is a US public broadcasting network. Like all public English language broadcasters, (CBC Canada, ABC Australia, BBC UK), PBS is filled with tiresome left wingers that do not see themselves as left wingers. It's still easy to find disingenuous tools in these intuitions that publicly declare they're bias … Continue reading Sorry PBS you already have my Money
