John Brown Goes to Wall Street?
Posted on November 13, 2010There are many who think Americans will never take up arms against their oppressors, and that tarring-and-feathering will remain a figure of speech. Do people who doubt a revolution is possible study history - or even listen to the Rolling Stones? There are many who claim that violence against Wall Street would be immoral...
Why Apologists for American Capitalism Are Idiots
Posted on November 12, 2010Carol Bartz, CEO of Yahoo!, is universally recognized as a moron and a failure. Yahoo!'s management, too, is regarded as a group of do-nothing, know-nothing failures. They have failed the company, and yet what is going to happen to them? Carol Bartz earned $39 million...
Into the Buzzsaw
Posted on November 11, 2010Someone fired a missile off the California coast. The Pentagon either doesn't know who did it, or they aren't saying. There are huge stories here. If the Pentagon doesn't know who fired a missile off the California coast, what does that say about the government's ability to protect the American people? The defense budget is nearly $1 trillion, and is...
Al Bundy or Teddy Roosevelt?
Posted on November 10, 2010I had a long misogynist screed written about the destruction of the man cave. Then I read this comment: Man cave? Boy cave is more like it. Why do so many grown men in this country want to fill their rooms full of tens of thousands of dollars worth of model race cars and championship pennants and baseball cards, and...
Cowardly Cognitive Dissonance
Posted on November 10, 2010Because I confront people who cut in line and do other anti-social acts, I often hear, "Mike, you're going to get shot!" My first thought is, "Why don't you think they should be worried about me?" And yet the question itself reveals the national ethos - one of cowardice...
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Posted on November 10, 2010This was a hard book to finish, although I'm glad to have read it. It was a challenging read because there is nothing more revolting to me than a passive-aggressive - and the characters themselves are all passive-aggressive. Yet it's fodder for the meta-oriented...
The Imperfectionists: A Novel
Posted on November 10, 2010This book will be most appreciated by people who prefer their fiction to read like non-fiction. Set in a newsroom, it's really a collection of short stories of newspaper personalities. Everyone from trust fund kids to desperate career women to agoraphobic readers appear...
Room: A Novel
Posted on November 10, 2010One of the better books I've read all year, and I'm not usually a fiction reader. Do not read any spoilers. I would advise against even reading the synopsis. There were skin-crawl moments throughout, and if you enjoyed the father's love angle of The Road, you'll appreciate the mother's love angle of Room...
Mark Hurlbert: A History of Corruption
Posted on November 08, 2010When District Attorney Mark Hurlbert allowed a Morgan Stanley banker to escape felony hit-and-run charges because ?Felony convictions have some pretty serious job implications for someone in [Martin Joel] Erzinger's profession," many were incensed. Yet how could I, someone who cautions against prosecutorial abuse and overcriminalization, get swept up in the mob? It's a legitimate question that resulted from my...
Your Narcissistic President
Posted on November 07, 2010What's the worst thing that can happen to a narcissist? Here's a hint: It's not the worst thing that happens to you. If you were raped, a narcissist would tell everyone how traumatic being a witness was - to him. That you suffered wouldn't be comprehensible to the narcissist...
District Attorney Mark Hurlbert Accepts Bribes?
Posted on November 07, 2010One has to wonder how much money District Attorney Mark Hurlbert accepted to allow this crime to go unpunished: Dr Milo was bicycling eastbound on Highway 6 near Eagle when Martin Joel Erzinger allegedly hit him with the black 2010 Mercedes Benz sedan he was driving...
Wall Street Justice
Posted on November 07, 2010Doesn't this make you proud to be an American? A financial manager for wealthy clients will not face charges for a hit-and-run because it could jeopardise his job, it has been revealed. Martin Joel Erzinger, 52, was set to face felony charges for running over a doctor who he hit from behind in his 2010 Mercedes Benz, and then speeding...
Colorado Attorney General Investigating Mark Hurlbert?
Posted on November 07, 2010District Attorney Mark Hurlbert, who dismissed felony hit-and-run charges against a rich local banker, has closed down his publicly-accessible Facebook sites. Colorado's Attorney General, John Suthers, still allows comments. If you want the Attorney General's office to investigate Mark Hulbert, contact the AG's office...
Mark Hurlbert: Corrupt Prosecutor
Posted on November 07, 2010When it was reported that District Attorney Mark Hurlbert dismissed felony charges against a rich banker who slammed into a bicyclist, I wondered if Hurlbert had accepted a bribe. Hurlbert has high political aspirations, and recently ran for State Senator...
Goldman Sachs' Cronies at DOJ Seek Star Chamber in Aleynikov Prosecution
Posted on November 04, 2010This is revolting although not surprising: Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have asked a judge to seal the courtroom in an upcoming corporate-espionage trial to protect the secret of Goldman Sachs? controversial high-speed trading software. According to Assistant United States Attorney Joseph Facciponti, "The bank has raised the possibility that there is a danger that somebody who knew how to use...
To Win Without Fighting is Best
Posted on November 04, 2010How does one avoid being a victim? As my fellow Psychology Today blogger Marisa Mauro has pointed out, psychologists have long been known that the more psychopathic a person is, the more easily they can identify potential victims. Indeed, they can do so just by watching the way a person moves...
Leftist Corporations Censor Black Man
Posted on November 04, 2010Obsidian is a black man whose flame wars with whites are infamous. How did these (alleged) white racists treat him? Earlier this year, during my tenure at the online Men?s magazine The Spearhead, I ran into a buzzsaw of contention for merely pointing out some things about my White brothers than they didn?t like...
The Myth of the Free Market
Posted on November 03, 2010Mark Ames butt-hurts libertarians by explaining that there is no rational free market system. In corporate America, well-connected executives loot publicly-held companies. Here are a few examples from his Meg Whitman polemic: * In 2002, the same year she was slapped with shareholder lawsuit and targeted in high profile Congressional probe, Whitman lost $1 billion on eBay?s purchase of PayPal...
Simple Solution to Free Rider Problem
Posted on November 03, 2010If someone broke one of this guy's windows, I suspect he'd find a more suitable place for his cars. When you read the comments, though, it's mostly blah-blah-blah and let's-involve-the-government. The biggest problem with modern society is that you can be a motherfucker because everyone is too much of a pussy to do anything about it...
Everyone is Sick About Sex
Posted on November 02, 2010I look at pictures of Australian Shepherds, not because they turn me on - but because they are cute. It is indeed possible to find something to be non-erotically cute. Is that not the case with babies? When Nicole Saupe?s son was about 18 months old, the Cincinnati-based photographer snapped a picture of him sitting in a big, rattan chair...
GOP: Party of the Beta Males
Posted on November 02, 2010The Futurist has an ingenious post about the Republican party entitled, "Why Republicans Will Not Shrink Government." The logic is unassailable. While his well-reasoned writing should be read in its entirety, his theme theme can be summarized in a sentence: Republicans are beta males...
Chemicals Are Turning Boys Into Girls
Posted on November 01, 2010Discontent with a culture that oppresses and criminalizes manhood, governments are going to the root out manhood but converting baby boys into estrogenic blobs: Here's something rather rotten from the State of Denmark. Its government yesterday unveiled official research showing that two-year-old children are at risk from a bewildering array of gender-bending chemicals in such everyday items as waterproof clothes,...
Read Mark Ames
Posted on November 01, 2010There is almost no good political commentary today, and for that there is a good reason: Political writers are more concerned with being liked than with telling the truth. There are thus only a few American writers worth reading. One of them, Mark Ames, has a biting critique of the Rally to Restore Sanity: That?s what makes this rally so...
The Rise of Roosh
Posted on October 30, 2010There are a collection of smart, male writers you'll never hear about. Vacillating between being ignored and loathed, these young men focus on the art of picking up women. Yet what they write isn't about merely meeting women: It's writing about culture...
Rally to Restore Boredom
Posted on October 30, 2010I don't watch John Steward or Stephen Colbert, although I unfortunately am aware of their body of work. In reading about their Rally to Restore Sanity, I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with boredom: "It's a perfect demographic sampling of the American people," Stewart cracked to a crowd filled with mostly younger whites...
