Continue readingAt the dojo today, we did a bit of sparring. Afterwards, the teacher told us about “The Book of Five Rings,” a fighting treatise that the great Samurai warrior, Miyamoto Musashi wrote in about 1645. Musashi was an extraordinary duelist, winning in part because of his skill, and in part
Continue readingIn 2007, I wrote about Obama’s immaturity. In 2011, James Taranto spots that Obama wants us to be immature with him. We saw this coming.
Continue readingSadie got this in an email and posted it as a comment. It’s too good, though, not to get wider play. The beer theory of taxes explains just about everything that’s wrong with a system that drives away the wealth: THE TAX SYSTEM EXPLAINED IN BEER Suppose that every day,
Continue readingI find the video below both hysterically funny and terribly tragic. We should all be worried when the insane are the vanguard of what promises to be a dangerous protest movement. One can sympathize with people who have been on the receiving end of societal and government lies for decades,
Continue readingMy earlier post was about the fact that the US spends and spends and spends, and saves very little. We definitely need to stop spending, but we need to be smart when we do it. Because our current administration tilts Left, it is reluctant to slow the hemorrhage but, to

Continue readingVictor Davis Hanson has put together an alphabetized list of Obama’s targets, everything from the American people generally, to black people, to grandmothers, to, of course, George Bush. He notes correctly that this list transcends ideology or even political enemies. In Obama’s world, few things or people measure up, and
Continue readingI’ve decided that I’m not late in posting these results. Since I end up posting them every Tuesday, instead of on the Friday they first appear, I’m on time for me. That is, my internal clock says that Tuesday is the day to relay results. And here they are: Council
Continue readingOver at Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft paired a quotation from Elizabeth Warren, in which she supports OWS (and lays claim to providing the movement’s intellectual foundation) with an iconic picture of a movement at the movement. After you check out Hoft’s post, you’ll understand why I’ve slightly modified Warren’s boastful
Continue readingObama is playing it safe, with no downside risk, with his decision to bar the Bay Area’s media from attending his appearance here. Sure, they’re going to whine now, but when 2012 rolls around, they’re going to fall into place and support him to their last drop of ink. Meanwhile,
Continue readingI have to appreciate a writer who can bring this kind of depth to the topic of moles. Yes, you heard me correctly: moles. All sorts of different moles, including moles I’d never even heard of.
Continue readingAs Orks from around the world gather at Mordor, I’m trying to keep track of all the endorsements that the OWS protestors have gathered unto themselves. Let’s see, there is: the Obama administration; Al Gore; the U.S. Communist party; the U.S. Nazi /White Supremacist parties; the KKK, CAIR; Iran’s Ahmadinejad; Anarchists;
