Productive worker with questionable personal life seeks capitalist country with limited constitutional government.
Does anyone know where I could find one?

The Constitution is a product spec for limited government.
The dissenting Justices in the Heller case are equivalent to developers who completely disregard the spec, or treat it as mere suggestion, and code whatever they personally think the product should be instead.
The Stevens dissent is a ludicrous read, ultimately saying that the Second Amendment […]

Well, maybe these particular thugs don’t break legs, but Wesley Snipes will be imprisoned and held for three years by a group of extortionists he refused to pay protection money to.
If only the depredations of this marauding gang could be resisted.. But they have quite a bit of firepower.

Wow, I haven’t posted anything in ten days. I’ve been working like crazy, and I’m going to be writing another blog for work dealing with our developer’s program but that stuff is pretty different than the content here hehe.
And oh yeah, CentSports is a hell of a lot of fun.
I’ll try to remember to […]

Seriously. He totally is.
I know, I know, you know he’s crazy. But if you haven’t seen this video? You have NO idea.

I believe we should have a law that would make Congressmen criminally liable for voting in favor of legislation that clearly violates the Constitution or Bill of Rights, such as this little doozy. It does offer a fine lesson in unintended consequences though, as I will illustrate.
This is what the SAFE Act requires: Anyone […]

Are you more racist, or more sexist?

The dozen or so Spelman College women had come together in a basement classroom, after hours, to hash over a choice unimaginable just a few generations back.
Fliers posted across campus summed up the thrust of their conversation: “Should you vote for Barack Obama because of your race, or should […]

Uh oh.. Somebody call the Wahmbulance on this guy:
I am 24, live with my parents, can’t find work and am floundering in a sea of debt five figures high. I think of myself as ambitious, independent and hardworking. Now I’m dependent, unemployed and sleeping under the same Super Mario ceiling fan that I […]

Microsoft bought a 1.6% stake in Facebook for $240 million, pegging Facebook’s worth at $15 billion. Coca-Cola has a market cap of $14.7 billion, so Facebook is worth more than Coca-Cola.
This is pretty good evidence that we are in another tech bubble right now.. but then Microsoft’s actions have lately lacked a whole […]

A group of renowned nuclear physicists, economic experts, and energy policy professionals are saying that despite the problems our oil dependency causes, new nuclear plants are a bad idea.

Despite his casual relationship with the truth, Al Gore has been awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.
He joins such notable recipients as Jimmy “Ignorant Douchebag” Carter and famous terrorist Yasser Arafat.

Jimmy Carter was a terrible President, for a mess of reasons I don’t have time to get into. He’s even worse as a former President though, possibly the worst former President ever. He’s certified stolen elections as fair (because the Communist won), published anti-Semitic books, and now he’s an apologist for genocide.
Carter took […]

This is so fucked, I can’t even explain how pissed it makes me.
It’s a website where cops rat out other cops for giving them tickets. They admit to breaking the law, but think they should be let go out of “professional courtesy”. I was blind with rage after reading just a few of […]

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton promised retirees that if elected president she will not cut Social Security benefits, raise the retirement age or privatize the taxpayer-funded system.
Sounds like a promise to raise taxes to me. But what can I expect from the person who said “We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of […]

Here at work we were discussing the difficulty Greek firefighters are having putting out their wildfires, and we realized why.
You can’t just throw water on a Greece fire.
