chalk up as most useless internet trend from the last year: thwapping a non-programmatic “@” in front of the name of someone you’re talking to or about.
it’s unnecessary. it’s sheeplike. it’s stupid. use the person’s name. get your nose out of the herd’s ass.
death to the useless @ (useful on twitter and in email addresses, of course). and take “hat tip” to the dumpster on your way, with “form factor”, “price point”, wah, wahnk, blahnk, blah.
the hero meter is pegging in bill anderson’s quiet little redneck podunk white-trash meshuggeneh quiet mountain town.
Our road is a county road, which means that state trucks don’t throw down salt and other chemicals (that contaminate our wells), but the county trucks heroically have been coming up and down Pocahontas Road and at least making it passable. (I notice that at least one heroic local guy has been making the rounds with his own plow, thus showing that it is not just government that keeps our road from turning into a big snow drift.)
that’s just an unusual level of herocity, god almighty. the local guy and the county parasites? a fortunate, fortunate man.
took pics of a friend’s car recently to help him sell it online. to finish, i asked him to drive it onto the attractive grassy park area of the development where he owns a business. the light and background were perfect, and we got the necessary shots with a few minutes to spare. driving off the grass, we see a guy taking pictures of us, evincing a goofball psycho intensity.
wondering aloud what he was up to (some people had already stopped us to express interest in the car), my friend asked if he should check him out. suspecting what it turned out to be, i agreed. (more…)
blabbermouth david kramer steps in it more than usual today with this bullshit post, quoted fully: (more…)
when writing at LRC you’re regularly swamped by adoring/congratulatory emails for nearly each post or article. takes a strong man to not let this transform him into a regal larry king, supposing every emitted syllable a gift bestowed from gifted head. here, the extra-voluminous david kramer gives you, the unwashed, the — wait for it — zapruder film!

lew’s loose editing style bites another moron:
Did you know that there is no requirement anywhere in the Constitution that a Representative, Senator or the Vice President must swear any oath of any kind? Further, there is no requirement for any Federal judge to swear any oath of any kind.
enjoy this presumptuous piece of shit from a presumptuous piece of shit:

eugene robinson, terminal blowjack:
[...] One moment struck me as particularly unfortunate for McCain: When Tom Brokaw asked whether health care was a privilege, a responsibility or a right. McCain said it was a responsibility, but left unclear whose responsibility it might be. Obama said he believed it should be a right, and talked about how his mother, who died of cancer at 53, had to spend the last months of her life arguing with insurance companies. Pretty powerful, I thought.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Heroic Hallelujah

What a heroic day! The people rose up against a coalition of every evil group in America: the central bank, Wall Street plutocrats, politicians, banksters, think tanks (including the pseudo-libertarian sort), big media, big academia, and big business, and won. Today we got a taste of what things may look like when the regime is finally toppled, and its theft and killing stopped. The Austrian economists are vindicated again, as is Rothbard’s political analysis, and our pizza party for Mises’s birthday today look on an especially festive air. The bad guys may yet beat us, but how sweet to see the CNBC types running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Now let’s get to work to defend the free market and sound money, and finger the Fed and all who support it as the culprits. Oh, and by the way, congratulations, Ron Paul.
only days later, the obvious has been provided enough cover (i.e., loud displays of hand wringing) for execution.
better advice than lew rockwell’s: begin practicing peaceful eugenics. i would add that you should go to mises.org and read sean corrigan’s blog post from the day after lew’s LRC premature ejaculation, but — whadya fawkin know — not there anymore! shocker. [update: was restored days later after loafer-boy tuckman apparently had a come-to-jesus moment confronting his pussified sweep of the "editor" control.] can still be read word for word here though. (for damned good reason it was not truncated with a continuation link to the original site.) thanks to Brian N., who emailed me of the post’s disappearance. more on this later, of course, but as my preacher dad used to sign off, “goodnight, god bless you, and maranatha!” (or something)
nah, not good enough. maybe the 29 sept 2008 version of stephen carson has the stuff: (more…)
these LRC people must be smoking crack. probable crack-smoker anthony gregory:
I’ve dreamed of this: The good leftists and good rightists all agreeing on gutting the empire, dismantling the national security state and ratcheting back the profligate corporatism. Anti-Fed and anti-war, a wonderful, cross-spectrum, short-term American populist program that would do away with the worst of the national leviathan. [...]
thank christ someone finally took a stand:
[...]
Yeah, Yeah…Synchronized SwimmingAt least one competitor made a point about her sport being “difficult and requiring great endurance and skill.” I suppose the SS’ers are tired of people sneering at their sport. I don’t like synchronized swimming because I don’t think team events belong in the Olympics. Second, it’s boring. Third, I don’t like it. Indeed it requires tremendous conditioning and strength – no argument there. Those gals are tough. But nothing changes the fact that I don’t like synchronized swimming as an Olympic sport. [...]
careful there; larry king might sue. those are some deap, deap thots. more! (more…)
the LRC adoration of career parasite ron paul was apparently not a fluke based on lew rockwell’s friendship with him.

There is a case to be made for Deng Xiaoping, who launched the biggest, fastest increase in prosperity and freedom in the history of the human race, and brought the Chinese people back into the world economy, to their great benefit and ours.
lew rockwell linked to a list of “monsters” advocating “‘national service’ — forcing young people to join the legions, killer or welfare division.”
checking the FAQ at that site (stick with this, because it’s a sham),
Does ServiceNation support mandatory national service?
No. We support the idea of voluntary community and national service. We are working to both inspire more Americans to volunteer their time and to encourage our leaders to create service opportunities for every American who wants to serve their community and country. We do not support mandatory national service requirements.
this is clearly a lie. their timeline ends with the goal of “SIGNING CEREMONY, NATIONAL SERVICE ACT OF 2009″.
hmmm. national service act; that’s where they get ya. (more…)
