Regarding Civility

I realize that I haven’t had a lot to say here for a few weeks. There are many reasons, and it might be even longer before my next post. However, this seemed worth a mention. This week is “No Name-Calling Week,” part of an anti-bullying campaign. The organizers linked to a video on...

Duchemin’s Law of Bureaucracy

A friend and former Bible-study-group-mate of mine might well have coined a new law of government. “As the size of total government increases, the likelihood that any given action will be simultaneously mandated and prohibited increases exponentially.” You should check out the rest of the post, too.

If you can’t take it …

Until a couple days ago, I’d never heard of Mark Fiore or his political satire cartoons. To be perfectly honest, I think he’s an incredible bore with nothing interesting to say, now that I have heard of him. However, he’s apparently set the conservative blogs afire with a video he ...

Would Jesus Wear a Rolex?

Neither a new song (I’ve loved it for more than twenty years now) nor an official video, but someone put together some good visuals for Ray Stevens’ pointed satire:

The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators

Indeed, they did. Rantcaster posted this, and I think he has some very good points. I’m not a huge fan of term limits in general, because I think that the election is supposed to serve that function. On the other hand, the system is badly broken because of people who stay in Congress for decad...

Comment Policy

I really can’t believe that I’m putting up this post, but I promised someone that I would … so here it is. For the most part, I have a very simple view of how people should comment on blogs, and so that’s all I hold: show some respect. To say more than that seems silly [...]

Blackwater: Above the law

The corporation formerly known as Blackwater, which conducts military operations for profit (but don’t dare call them mercenaries!), scores more points against the very concept of justice. Although (from the New York Times) Investigators concluded that the guards had indiscriminately fired on ...

Merry Christmas

(Reposted from last year.) A few millenia ago, Adam and Eve (our great-great-great-great-great … uhh …you get the idea! … -grandparents) used to walk around in the Garden of Eden chatting with God. I have no idea what this looked like, but I do know that it has to have been good. Think about it [......

The game I want for Christmas

Perhaps you were wondering how to celebrate a world in which Ben Bernanke could actually be recommended for another term as Federal Reserve Chairman. Perhaps you were wondering what to think of the fact that anyone cares what Henry Paulsen thought of the confirmation. Well, inventor Tim Hunkin has m...

Yes, Joe, really …

The other day, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) was reading a statement before the Senate, and his time ran out. Here’s a quick video of it: Sen. Lieberman’s request for additional time is pretty routine. For the most part, Senators ask for additional time and get it, because no one cares. Sen....
