Army Strong! Internet Bad!

The Army decided to restrict the use of certain websites, YouTube and MySpace being prominently mentioned. While I might somewhat agree with the notion that the Army needs to restrict bandwidth use, censoring soldiers is always the wrong answer.  The so-called “positive spin” is never, ever seen in the news.  Ever.  The Army is trying [...]

Another obvious vote from the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court voted today to allow Illinois to require photo ID in order to vote. Seems like common sense to me. After all, everyone is required to show a form of photo ID in order to buy booze, cigarettes, drive, file their taxes, get a passport (TWO for that), buy, own or carry [...]

Welcome to the brave new world…

A prisoner is suing in federal court because-get this-he has lost too much weight while in prison. Apparently the 3,000 calorie a day diet is not enough for Inmate Fatass. Not only that, but he wants more hot meals.
Wah wah wah, cry me a river here. Shouldn’t stab and beat people to [...]

Really? How stoopid is this?

Wesley Snipes gets three years for income tax evasion? How in the hell? Was he not satisfied with making millions of dollars, instead wanting to make millions and millions of dollars? I do not understand this at all.
Almost as stoopid is the mediots covering this as a “small business” concern. How [...]

I think that Obama is out of the loop and clueless about what the so-called Middle America wants. He wants to make himself a round peg to fit into a square hole. He sees his inability to make himself appeal to the “silent majority” as a problem with the [...]

Why do we need laws regulating content?

“Must be a yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please. Rules, laws–always for other fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down out of the trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up. Because not one of those people said: “Please pass [...]

Why we went to war with Iraq

It seems that a whole lot of people have forgotten why we went to war with Iraq in 2003. For the unwashed out there, there was a long chain of events that led to our decision to go to war. Here is the original war declaration from October 10th, 2002. I won’t bother [...]

Love the soldiers hate the war = cognitive dissodance

Please help me, I am having a hard time understanding one of the core ideas behind the anti-war movement. It seems to me that their ideas have been stuck in amber since the 1960s. One of the most idiotic of these is that it makes sense to denounce the war while at the [...]
