Obesity Epidemic Comes to an Army Near You

Posted on December 08, 2010
When even the military cannot be characterized as Spartan, what is there to say of broader society? US soldiers are going to extremes -- taking diet pills and laxatives, even starving themselves and getting liposuction -- in order to meet the military?s weight standards, the Army Times reported Monday...

H.I.T. Journal at "The Muscle Couple"

Posted on December 08, 2010
Those of you who lift weights may be interested in a series of guest posts I'll be doing at my friends' fitness weblog. Here is the first post.

Glenn Beck, Trial Lawyer

Posted on December 07, 2010
Glenn Beck explains the false "sexual assault" case against Julian Assange. His advocacy is brilliant, and this is required watching for anyone who cares about government misconduct:

Self-Reliance

Posted on December 07, 2010
Most of the sheep begged the government agent - the train conductor - to stop. The conductor wasn't competent enough to do so. What happened next? Or, rather: Who happened next?

Reverence for the Founding Fathers

Posted on December 06, 2010
Some people treat the Constitution as the Bible, and I'm suspicious of people who think quoting a Founding Father ends the argument. Yet re-reading the Federalist Papers is a reminder why so many revere the Founding Fathers: They were brilliant thinkers and writers...

Thoreau Meets Zombieland

Posted on December 04, 2010
In the 1850's, Henry David Thoreau wrote: The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats...

These California Lawyers Are Jerks, Ninth Circuit Holds

Posted on December 04, 2010
The Ninth Circuit put some coal in these lawyers' stockings: Leonard S. Machtinger, Kenoff & Machtinger, LLP, Los Angeles, California; Richard L. Charnley, Terry Anastassiou, and; Ernest E. Price, Ropers, Majeski, Kohn, & Bentley, Los Angeles, California...

Julian Assange False Rape Claimant Named

Posted on December 03, 2010
She is a confessed man-hater whose goal in life is to get "revenge" on men. No, that's not a joke or a spin job. In Mala Fide (a daily read) has the details.

Founding Fathers Comment on the Republican Party of Beta Males

Posted on December 03, 2010
"I'm terrified of cave-dwelling savages. I need a large government to protect me." - GOP Official Platform "Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one." - Benjamin Franklin *** "The Wikileaks founder should be executed...

More on Julian Assange's "Sex Crimes"

Posted on December 03, 2010
- Reprinted with permission from Washington's Blog Interpol has issued an arrest warrant for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for "sex crimes". Everyone assumed it was for rape. But it turns out it was for violating an obscure Swedish law against having sex without a condom...

Ignoring You is Not a Cognitive Defect

Posted on November 23, 2010
So a bunch of high school teachers are upset that their students are bored with them. Well, that's not how they say it. Instead, the New York Times has the backs of boring, stupid teachers everywhere: "Growing Up Digital, Wired for Distraction." If kids didn't have iPhones, they would pay attention in school...

Mercatus Center "Experts" on the Subprime Crisis

Posted on November 23, 2010
If you read the Mercatus Center website, you'll be greeted with an interesting claim: "For over 25 years, the Mercatus Center at George Mason University has been the world?s premier university source for market-oriented ideas?bridging the gap between academic ideas and real world problems...

First They Came for the Muslims

Posted on November 22, 2010
Smart comments from someone who gets it: There is a lot of muslim hate in this thread. The agenda has always been to stop only demonising muslims and to make EVERYONE the potential terrorist. They've used the muslim bogey man as the justification to introduce all the dracononian laws, and place cops in black uniforms holding machine guns everywhere you...

Tyler Cowen on Subprime Lending

Posted on November 22, 2010
The biggest problem with expert accountability is that there isn't any. People turn on their televisions, or read their newspapers and blogs, to hear what is being said today. Yet how can one determine if what's being said today is true? The best way is to look at yesterday...

Woman Engages in Subway Vigilantism

Posted on November 22, 2010
Awesome video. Her attitude is what more Americans need. Don't whine or cry like a passive-aggressive little bitch. Don't mumble something under your breath. Make a scene. Once people realize that anti-social actions have consequences, people will start behaving themselves again.

TSA Harasses Pepperdine Law Grad

Posted on November 22, 2010
Amazing video (thanks, Rob) showing TSA's harassment of a law school classmate of mine. She was harassed and threatened with arrest because she requested - under TSA's own procedures - alternative screening for her breast milk. A TSA lawsuit would be fun...

Spread the Word: Fully Informed Jury Association

Posted on November 21, 2010
When TSA agents lay hands on a small child, people are helpless. We do not fear a TSA agent. We fear the criminal consequences that would follow from defending the child. We know that the government would arrest us, a prosecutor would charge us, and a judge would instruct a jury to "follow the law" by convicting us...

When the Government Rapes

Posted on November 21, 2010
Had I seen this occur in the streets, the molester would have been laid out on the ground. And yet the people in the video are forced to helplessly watch a child be molested. Anyone defending the child would have found himself in jail. Reform can only occur when everyone agrees that action must be taken...

Our Leaders are Frivolous Because We Are

Posted on November 20, 2010
Some very interesting thoughts about Barack Obama: The blogosphere has no shortage of opinions about the real reasons behind Obama?s ineffectiveness as a president. While he came to power on the crest of a great wave of ?hope and change?, he has delivered neither...

TSA and the Banality of Evil

Posted on November 19, 2010
There's a lot of great work on "evil." The Lucifer Effect is the starting point, and there's an awesome book about how some normal soldiers transformed into murderers. Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland. We can see what's called the banality of evil today, with TSA: Banality of evil is a phrase coined by...

Compensation for Indignity

Posted on November 18, 2010
Racial profiling is wrong, because it's an indignity that 99.999% of people must suffer because of the acts of the .0001%. Conservatives defend racial profiling for not totally retarded reasons: After the 9/11 attacks, when 19 Muslim terrorists -- 15 from Saudi Arabia, two from the United Arab Emirates and one each from Egypt and Lebanon, 14 with "al" in...

Ames-Levine List: Articulate Rage

Posted on November 16, 2010
It's hard to do rage well. Rage, by its nature, is generally unfocused. Blind rage may be redundant, since rarely does rage allow us to see clearly. Mark Ames and Yasha Levine both do rage very well, and produce a Drudge-like aggregation service called the Ames-Levine List...

Tea Party's True Nature?

Posted on November 16, 2010
I don't agree, but this is an interesting take: Liberals like to attack the Tea Party as racist, and some on the far right embrace them as an evolving expression of ?implicit whiteness? in America, but race is not what defines them. The Tea Party is fighting to transform America into a gerontocracy ? a government of the old people,...

Who Fired the California Missile?

Posted on November 15, 2010
A retired general has stated that someone filed a missile off the California coast. The Pentagon is claiming that it was not a missile. Then what was it? "Thomas G. McInerney is a retired United States Air Force Lieutenant General. He is a command pilot with more than 4,100 flying hours, including 407 combat missions (243 in O-1s as a...

Crazy Chick Dies in Boyfriend's Chimney

Posted on November 15, 2010

TSA and White Rage

Posted on November 15, 2010
White folks are furious that TSA has decided to "grope" them. Guess what, white devils. This is the same shit that black men deal with every fucking day of their lives: Blacks and Latinos were nine times as likely as whites to be stopped by the police in New York City in 2009, but, once stopped, were no more likely...

In Praise of Elitism

Posted on November 14, 2010
Guess who said this: ?"All that said, given the fundamental factors in place that should support the demand for housing, we believe the effect of the troubles in the subprime sector on the broader housing market will likely be limited, and we do not expect significant spillovers from the subprime market to the rest of the economy or to the...
