Dubar’s Number, Politicans and You.

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

I’ll give you fair warning folks, Ace Prosper sent this along and its pretty nerdy. I came close to rejecting it. However after a long look and a little web-fu I decided to post it.

A.B. listen.
The reason politicians don’t do the right thing most times is really simple.Dunbar’s Number”> Dunbar’s Number.
Basically it means […]

The Passing of William Buckley.

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

While I was not always in agreement with Buckley’s brand of Conservatism his passing is a still a loss to America. I
remember enjoying his sometimes acerbic National Review articles and books as well as all the times I listened to him speak on television. That old style of formal , powerful public […]

Dumb Play of the Month: Part 2

Monday, November 12th, 2007

Looks like Kos has a video.
Like I said last time.
#2 Cameras and microphones small enough to be a button on someones shirt are ubiquitous. There is a good chance whatever you do will be recorded.
Glad to hear there is going to be a suit although I’d be happy to see the suit […]

Dumb Play of the Month: Hannity’s PD Tries to Get an Arrest Over A Question

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

Daily Kos has an interesting article on the topic.
I have six comments to add to anyone contemplating similar stupidity on the Left or Right.

#2 Cameras and microphones small enough to be a button […]

Lane Garrison Sentenced

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

lane Garrison received an odd sentence today. The judge made an example out of him by giving him the mid range.
As a first time offender he probably could have done about as well with a plea bargain however as the old saw goes, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.
I don’t think the sentence was […]

The Death of Reverend Gary Aldridge

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Everybody has been covering this story so I guess I should add my 2 cents .
I’ll link to Pharyngula for the story.
My opinion ? I think its sad. It must be difficult when your spiritual beliefs contrast so heavily with your sexuality that you have to resort to being alone.
This is mostly […]

On Dating a Woman With Children

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

the only thing for a man to remember is that the two are a package deal– you get one you get all.
It is OK for a man to not accept the singular honor of being trusted to be the kids father. It is not cowardly or wrong to refuse
. However if he can’t […]

Belayed Happy Birthday to Paul Harvey

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

Paul Harvey hit 89 Tuesday.
Harvey’s radio show has been one of my greatest inspirations. Great voice, great show and while I may not always agree 100% with the political spin it is 100% all American.
When it comes to Mr. Harvey that old song that I can’t post here says it best “and […]
