Change We Can Believe In

A bill has been intro­duced by a Demo­c­rat whose hus­band does work for Mon­santo that would effec­tively kill farmer’s mar­kets. Under the guise of pro­tect­ing those of us who never asked for pro­tec­tion, the gov­ern­ment is try­ing to reg­u­late all food we might buy. A new gov­ern­men­tal entity would be cre­ated out of thin air …

Jack McCafferty Is A Partisan Hack

He spends a whole bunch of dig­i­tal ink pro­claim­ing the next com­ing of Jesus Christ clothed as our cur­rent pres­i­dent and gives 3 con­crete exam­ples of things the admin­is­tra­tion has done. The prob­lem is, all three are exam­ples of how said admin­is­tra­tion has screwed the pooch. Yet from this, he con­cludes that we’ve finally got …

There’s No Crying In Football

It’s start­ing to look more and more like Jay Cut­ler is a big cry­baby He hasn’t done any­thing in Den­ver to war­rant being a diva but that isn’t stop­ping him from cry­ing to the media over the sup­posed slights that Josh McDaniels has hit him with.

The Nanny State Encroachment Continues

New Jer­sey is try­ing to ban Brazil­ian waxes because two peo­ple com­plained and 1 sued. Con­spir­acy the­o­ries abound includ­ing one that says the state is try­ing to push peo­ple to der­ma­tol­o­gists for laser treat­ment over the wax­ing. Fun times in New Jersey.

Why The Grey Lady Is Fading

Accord­ing to the NY Times, the gun lobby is to blame for an Alabama shooter killing 11 peo­ple, com­pletely ignor­ing the 16 dead in very gun unfriendly Ger­many. These are the peo­ple who speak for us. No won­der no one sub­scribes any more.

Too Much

Related to dis­ap­pear­ing and get­ting uncon­nected, I came back to find 243 items in Google Reader. This was in 3ish days. That stresses me out. It may be time to dis­pense with the news aggre­ga­tor, either for a detox­ing effort or for­ever. I have other things to do besides sit at the com­puter and try …

I made some res­o­lu­tions this year and in an attempt to keep them, I’m writ­ing about the progress every month. The first month update was here. Month two fell behind a lit­tle bit. First the good news: I played enough golf to stay on track for 26 times this year. I don’t seem to be …

Irony, You Taste So Sweet

Obama Admin­is­tra­tion sup­ports tax haven crack­down. Does no one in the Obama admin­is­tra­tion look at some­thing like this and think “you know what guys, maybe we ought to lay low on this whole tax thing for a lit­tle while.” Surely they have spin doc­tors for this sort of thing. The man must really hold the Amer­i­can …
