Blog of Doom

Well, it looks like I found the Democratic web site to disagree with. It’s name? The Nation.
It has just what I like in a Democratic blog. Casual references to evil greedy corporations, blatant historical inaccuracies, snarky references that undermine the personal morality of other people and disdain for judges who actually take their duties seriously.
Just [...]

Well, I took some initiative and found a few columns by Star Parker to see what she’s saying. She has some interesting and well thought out articles, but unfortunately, she’s wrong (of course!).
I should mention that the only reason I haven’t said that any of the Democrats are wrong is that I haven’t gotten to [...]

Cliff Kincaid: Abolish Public TV and Radio:
Cliff Kincaid says: In a front-page story on May 2, the New York Times accused the new Republican chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting of ‘aggressively pressing public television to correct what he and other conservatives consider liberal bias…’ That was in the first paragraph. If you got [...]

House votes to outlaw computer spyware
WASHINGTON — The U.S. House of Representatives yesterday voted to
establish new penalties for purveyors of Internet ’spyware’ that
disables users’ computers and secretly monitors their activities.
By overwhelming majorities, the House passed two bills that stiffen
jail sentences and establish multimillion-dollar fines for those who
use secret surveillance programs to steal credit card numbers, [...]

Yet another awesome blog.
The Dollar Derby by Anita Sharpe in Business:
‘A friend of mine, a businessman who buys companies, told me one of the first things he looks at is the gender of the boss,’ writes John Tierney, in a column in today’s New York Times. ‘The companies run by women are much more likely [...]

A quote from one of my favorite blogs, BuzzMachine:
Stupidity averted
: So the filibuster meltdown option is avoided. And a good thing it is. I don’t think the peopel [sic] would have tolerated political war and a congressional shutdown.
(Via BuzzMachine.)
Personally, I don’t think anyone would have noticed a congressional shutdown. I think it’s always a good [...]

Another new blog I’ve started reading from a conservative blogger named Amy Ridenour. This particular article is about Social Security. She agrees with someone named Star Parker (who I’ve never heard of), who says:
The simple truth is that the Social Security system needs to be replaced with one in which American workers retain their own [...]

Here’s a very interesting point of view on the Anti First Amendment Movement. This is just the kind of blog entry I love to read, because it gets my brain cells working.
I think there is a kernel of truth in this article, but I think it goes sideways at some point, probably near the beginning.
No [...]

Yes, I’m a software dilettante. I’m trying out yet another weblog editor. This one is called MarsEdit. It seems pretty good, but I wonder what I think I’m missing in MarsEdit that isn’t in ecto. I think it might have something to do with preferences that I set in ecto that I don’t seem to [...]

It turns out Bill died of natural causes, not suicide. There’s your damned silver lining. It also turns out that he died while we were still in New England. The week we moved from New Hampshire to Maine. We were in Maine for four months before we left for Texas, and no one let us [...]
