There are two major inter-related reasons we are dependent on oil (either foreign or domestic): conventional cars and conventional power plants. Tesla Motors may have found a way to make real progress to get around these two obstacles. Whatever your opinion of the Green Energy movement (and its many-times liberal enthusiasts), there is no doubt […]
Continue reading →One of my favorite passages in Gone with the Wind involves a moment of realization on Scarlet Ohara’s part—that the real racists are the abolitionists. It’s worth repeating here: What damnably queer people Yankees are! Those women [Yankee women who had just told Scarlett they wouldn’t trust a “negro” to be a nurse to their […]
Continue reading →Oh my. It honestly boggles my mind just how stupid some theories are. Once you adopt the macro-evolutionary model, I guess you have no choice but to occasionally go full retard. Here’s a prime (or should I say “primate”?) example: Humans learned to talk to one another by copying birds and other primates sometime in […]

Its deliciously satirical prom slogan was “This is Are Story.” Clearly, this is a rapier wit social commentary tidbit on the educational plight of the poorest members of inner city Chicago. Or it could have been a monumentally ham-headed […]

Some states have already begun gun registration and all states have gun owner licensing, gun-free zones, and other forms of gun control. But that still isn’t anywhere near as much […]

As armored cars, tanks, automatic weapons and very-high-capacity clips continue flowing into local police armories, it’s hard to deny that the lines between the local police and the military are blurring. During the Obama administration, according to Pentagon data, […]

Lowering the cost of healthcare, preventative measures, cutting out the middle men, researching effective cheap cures, and cutting down on any unnecessary expensive hospital visits (like the ER, for instance). Well, guess which kind of hospital visit has become […]
Continue reading →I’m really angry with the extremely uncivil way puppet pundits, talk-pieces, internet jocks, web bullies, and other idiots have been treating Bowe Bergdahl and his family. It wasn’t but a few days after his release before the entire conservative world was dumping on Bergdahl and his father for what seemed to me to be tenuously […]

CrossFit (the popular self-torture exercise program) posted a video to their Facebook page that has apparently caused some controversy. Because that’s the point of Facebook posts right? Anyway, the video was originally meant to make fun of CrossFit—because of how religiously […]
