Muslims in America
Interesting, but they show many more angry people then happy people, even though it was only 13 to 6. And they didn’t focus very much on the 22 people who did nothing. It seems like they were trying to make a point. CNN, newspapers, dinosaurs, and other things our grand-kids will never see
I’m tired of reading endless expressions of grief for the demise of traditional media. They are disappearing, but largely due to their own ineptitude. They were too stupid to recognize that an outdated distribution model has the potential to damage a business, especially if its customers consume the product with gritted teeth — there is a lesson here for the music industry and Microsoft. A positive spin on arrogance
When a person asks if they look fat, the answer is always yes. People who are fit, know they are fit. It’s perhaps unfortunate, but common sense requires that you acknowledge that people who look good know they look good, even if well advised politeness or political correctness causes them to suppress any expression of that which is plain to see. Israel’s last chance
The war of 1973 was completely avoidable, but stubborn arrogance and a lack of imagination in Tel Aviv made it inevitable. The terms agreed upon between the two primary belligerents in the late 70’s were offered in the early 70’s but rejected by Israel, just as they have recently rejected the Saudi led Arab peace plan. Ron Paul’s legacy
As the presidential campaign begins to wind down, looking back at Ron’s incredible accomplishments I am hopeful his libertarian message will be picked up by a new generation of leaders and finally begin to penetrate Washington politics. Are federal income taxes unconstitutional… in Canada?
The Canadian constitution is comprised primarily (but not exclusively) of two parts, the British North America Act (a.k.a. the Constitution Act) of 1867 and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (a.k.a. the Charter) of 1982. The Charter does not address taxation, but the Constitution Act does, in fact many Canadians may be surprised to learn that it explicitly defines the limited powers of each level of government. War more expensive than Vietnam
Already longer than WW2, Bush’s war is now the second most costly ever waged by the United States of America, using inflation adjusted figures.
Holy Crap: Paul Volcker, Former Fed Chairman, Endorses Obama
“It is only Barack Obama, in his person, in his ideas, in his ability to understand and to articulate both our needs and our hopes that provide the potential for strong and fresh leadership,” Volcker said in an e-mailed statement today. The Socialist Dilemma
Bring candy and flowers When bankers are cursed While society is strong So greed is defeated But with pay guaranteed When profit is gone While people are weak So progress will stall Open minds are closed
I strain to avoid rolling my eyes every time I hear someone claim to have an open mind. People who believe their mind is “open” have actually managed to convince themselves that bias will not influence their decisions, failing to recognize that believing you have no bias is itself a bias. In the real world, in almost every case people are either biased or ignorant — it’s called cognitive dissonance. |
