Stupid AND Evil Part 6 – Greenspan Made a Mistake?

If you only watch clips from one of my blog posts this year, make it this one. You're being lied to. Last night, I was watching NBC News when Greenspan comes on and says that he was wrong. Deregulation and free markets have failed. I was livid...I couldn't believe my ears. First, ...

Stupid AND Evil Part 5

I don't completely blame the Democrats for our current problems. The Republicans share a lot of the blame (along with the FED), but this just makes you shake your head. This is the Democrats completely ignoring the warning signs that this crisis was coming back in 2004. I ask you once ...

Stupid AND Evil Part 4

I might as well start this post off by requoting Tom Woods as I did in Stupid and Evil part 1: “Americans are faced with a choice between the stupid party and the evil party and once in a while the two parties get together and they do something that is ...

Stupid AND Evil part 3

On Friday, Lauren said: We are part of a social democracy. People rally around this Socialism= Bad motif, but they would be outraged if suddenly they were taken away. (I for one am a fan of the FDA, USDA, OSHA- I like knowing my food is clean- Remeber Upton Sinclair’s “The ...

3rd Party Run?

This is interesting.... And LewRockwell.com reports that both Bob Barr (Libertarian Party) and Chuck Baldwin (Constitution Party) will be there. Dr. Paul has said all along that he wasn't interested in a 3rd party run, but now that the Republican Party has pretty much shunned him, and put up a couple of ...

Stupid AND Evil Part 2

Not all that surprising, but the Republicans are acting like fascists. Ron Paul's delegates were silenced from giving their vote during the convention. Over a million people voted for Dr. Paul. Sure, not nearly as many as voted for McCain, but more than folks like Giuliani got. And the Secret ...

Stupid AND Evil

One of my favorite speeches from the Rally for the Republic was by Tom Woods. Here's a gem from it: "Americans are faced with a choice between the stupid party and the evil party and once in a while the two parties get together and they do something that is both stupid ...

Apple Passes Microsoft

The New York Times posted a graph showing the stock price of Apple and Microsoft over the last 20 years. It was announced a couple of days ago that Apple's market capitalization put it ahead of Microsoft, making it America's largest tech company. I've been an Apple fan since our Elementary school ...

The single best month for music….ever?

There's a lot of good music out this month, there's more good stuff coming out this month than usually comes out in a year. They say that in economic downturns, creativity goes up. Maybe that's what's going on, regardless... I'm listening to all of this stuff: I didn't count MGMT's new ...

The iPad After 2 Weeks

So, it's been couple of weeks, and I've gotten used to using the iPad, and I'm addict to it. I purposely set out to only uses my iPad for home tasks when possible for the first few days. After the first couple of days of that, I don't reach for my ...

The iPad After a Few Days

My impressions of the iPad after a couple of days of using it. First off, this thing is a little heavier than it should be. I wouldn't mind having just one battery, with the ability to add on our snap in the additional battery. I think the limitation of only having ...

Ron Paul 2012?

I think that the neoconservative pundits underestimated the Ron Paul Revolution's staying power. Over the weekend, while I was working at a retreat, I walked in front of a tv screen and was pleasantly surprised to see that Dr. Paul won the CPAC straw poll. Immediately, the neocons in the Hannity and ...
