The Russian Front

December 8th, 2004 · 3 Comments

What I want to know — since the United States is starting to look more and more like the German goverment of the late 1920s to the late 1940s — is did Army Spc. Thomas Wilson of the 278th Regimental Combat Team fighting in Iraq get sent to the Russian front after he pissed off […]

Kofi Annan & Friggin’ Liberal Jewboys Like Me

December 8th, 2004 · No Comments

Tonight is the dreaded Evidence mid-term upon which I’ve previously commented and which has slowed my ability to do significant research for the kind of detailed articles I like to write here. That doesn’t explain one significant failure pointed out to me this morning by James G. Brown in his comment on my January 2004 […]

Does It Count Matter?

December 7th, 2004 · 2 Comments

You know what really surprises me about this? The fact that people out there think that it doesn’t matter, but that their vote still counted for something just because they happen to agree with the people who did decide who would be President. What happens when they disagree with you folks?

Fear & Loathing

December 7th, 2004 · No Comments

People who know me well know that I’m not a significant math whiz. Truth be told, when I have taken mathematics courses in college, I caught on quickly, but was bored at how slow it went.

Language & Sexism

December 6th, 2004 · 13 Comments

There’s a discussion that started over at Chepooka’s concerning what was believed to be — at least potentially — a sexist comment. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that the guys haven’t seen it that way. 😉 Since I’m in the midst of mid-terms — Evidence this Wednesday; Advanced Criminal Law and Constitutional Law next […]

December 5th, 2004 · 5 Comments

You do not have to believe that voting machines were rigged, ballots were not counted, or minority voters were intimidated to understand that George W. Bush won the United States election by fraud.

YAQ

December 4th, 2004 · 2 Comments

YAQ is my acronym for “Yet Another Quiz.” I think it’s particularly apropos since they’re like so much yakking. No time to blog today — the Library beckons — so I’ll just YAQ at you . . . You Are the Investigator 5 You’re independent – and a logical analytical thinker. You love learning and […]

Theocracy: Whose Version?

December 2nd, 2004 · 7 Comments

I have written before about particular groups of Christians — the ones I call neo-Pharisees — and their move to establish a theocratic form of government in the United States. Some people — even those who agree with some of what I say — don’t quite get how serious a problem this is. They don’t […]

The Evolution of a Third-World Country

December 1st, 2004 · 5 Comments

I occasionally rant about the loss of American jobs to Third-World countries via outsourcing. I mean, when was the last time you saw a label on a doll, clothing or other manufactured item that didn’t say “Made in China” or “Made in Mexico” or “Made in [Anywhere-But-America]”? When was the last time you called for […]
