Such a sign of our times that the only public figures telling the truth are comedians. It reminds me of my favorite quote from when I was young and read Deep Thinkers. This one’s from Soren Kierkegaard: “A fire broke out backstage in a theater. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that’s how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it’s a joke.” BTW, here’s the latest in NSA paranoia: apparently we now…
Working on one of those blogs that takes Actual Thought. In the meantime, have some Halloween dogs. Many more at the link above.
This is from Laird in comments. I even swiped the “process of elimination” joke. All I am here is the typist. Enjoy. Source
Oops. TSA accidentally reveals that even they don’t believe terrorists are likely to attack planes these days. The solution? make pre-flight security-theater checks even longer and more intensive. Of course! Another example of how reallly, reallly, reallly good the fedgov’s “security” people are at … um security. Medical pricing. How it should work. How it does work at the Surgery Center of Oklahoma. Not everybody, Harry. Speak for your own darn self. Tam knocks one out of the park. “How to build a happier brain.” (Seems our wiring is pre-set for emphasizing the negative.) Dems starting to want to push…
This has been making its way around the gunblogs. I wasn’t going to link it because I’ve never had reason to care what the head of Interpol thinks about anything. But reader L.A. tipped the balance. And really, it’s quite something when the honcho of a global police agency comes out in favor of a well-armed citizenry — and recognizes that the only alternative is making us all “safe” via a lock-down security state. 2016: Looking back on Obamacare. Seattle is using eminent domain to seize a valuable property from a 103-year-old lady. It’s currently a privately owned parking lot.…
You’ve heard of Bridezilla. And the Wedding Guest from Hell. Now meet The Mad Bomber Groom. Guess you gotta give him points for creativity. Not brains. Definitely not brains. But creativity. Experian, the worst and most pervasive of the big three credit bureaus sold data to an identity-theft “service”. Nooooo, really? And you say both parties are doing it?? Impossible! Quite impossible! Well, that’s one way to ensure that politicians actually get your message. Good idea. But I’d trust it a lot more if it didn’t come from Google. Death panels. Not a good thing. But yes, they’re real (Hellllooo,…
The links in this first batch were meant to go in Friday’s “Waves of History” post, but I was running out of time. So here they are — perhaps for some inspiration? Kevin D. Williamson on citizens pushing back. There’s now an online whistleblower support system. Originally written by Aaron Swartz. Maybe in death he’ll be able to prevent someone else from being hounded into suicide by vicious prosecutors. Borepatch: “Obama Agonistes.” Justin Raimondo: “American Apocalypse.” “13 nutrition lies that made the world fat and sick.” It may not be instantly apparent what this one has to do with resistance…
It’s just an ad. But soooo cool. It’s also part of a whole series with the “be more dog” theme.
