Next stop: Arlington National Cemetery

A Federal judge has declared unconstitutional a war memorial in the form of a Christian cross. He has ordered the city to pay $5,000 per day in fines unless they tear it down.

There are thousands of crosses and stars of David at Arlington National Cemetery: should we tear those up while we're at it?

This is not the original intent of the first amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Alcohol Now a Date Rape Drug in Wisconsin

Looks like Wisconsin is no longer a safe place for men. Can you say Pandora's Box?

Senate calls for new N. Korea envoy

Is it time to dissolve the Senate yet? I mean, they want a new envoy to North Korea as if that's a solution to anything except their self-righteousness.

0.999999... = 1

I saw this article on the internet, and it tries to prove that 0.9 repeating is equal to 1, but I didn't like any of the proofs, so I just ran a quick test on my trusty TI-89.

I Have a Dream

If I am elected president, I promise to pardon anyone arrested, sued or otherwise bothered for giving the federal government more than 10% of his income. This will be my inaugural address:

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject."

I have a dream that one day on the green hills of New York State the sons of former confiscatory tax payers and the sons of former confiscatory tax collectors will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Connecticut, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom, justice and personal property.

I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by their greedy need but by their ability to earn. I have a dream today.

Ebert on "An Inconvenient Truth"

In 39 years, I have never written these words in a movie review, but here they are: You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to.

What a jackass. What does he suggest we do after we see this movie? Go sell our cars and shut off our lights? Start planting a garden outside and return to a primitive life of subsistence farming in a malarial field?

Well, at least we'd all be equals then.

I want to write this review so every reader will begin it and finish it. I am a liberal, but I do not intend this as a review reflecting any kind of politics. It reflects the truth as I understand it, and it represents, I believe, agreement among the world's experts.

Global warming is real.

It is caused by human activity.

Mankind and its governments must begin immediate action to halt and reverse it.

If we do nothing, in about 10 years the planet may reach a "tipping point" and begin a slide toward destruction of our civilization and most of the other species on this planet.

We're going to destroy the entire planet by heating our homes and driving around in our cars! And it's going to happen in 10 years!

Web surfers to help Texas monitor border cams - Engadget

What a hilarious idea.

Texas Governor Rick Perry has just announced a plan to leverage the eyeballs of millions of voyeuristic web surfers into a de facto army of unpaid border guards, by allowing the general public to watch live streams from video cameras trained on the Mexican border and call a toll-free number to report illegal crossings.
