“After months of telling the American people that he supports the Second Amendment, and only hours after being declared the president-elect, the Obama transition team website announced an agenda taken straight from the anti-gun lobby.” For anyone who actually believed this man, he’s living proof he’s a liar.

why i won’t – can’t – vote for obama
Monday, November 3, 2008
The list is short, and simple. He’s pro-death. Anyone who votes to deny medical care to an infant born after a botched abortion is not fit to be a leader. Anyone who is pro-abortion for any reason (not merely in the [uncommon] event of endangering the life of the mother) is pro-death, and I will [...]
please stay home next week tuesday
Monday, October 27, 2008
if you’re undecided. If by now, with a week left, you haven’t picked who you’re going to vote for as President (and I almost don’t care who you pick [I do, but that's another story]), don’t vote. I’d like to tell you to vote for the guy I want to win, but I don’t like [...]
why are geeks liberal?
Wednesday, October 8, 2008
I’ve noticed that most technical forums, from user groups to mailing lists, slashdot to stackoverflow, all tend liberal. I want to know why there seems to be a paucity of conservatives in these settings. I want to know why the libertarians that show tend towards the radical fringe of the party. With the size of [...]
comment to rush
Friday, September 12, 2008
I emailed the Rush Limbaugh show Friday, and proffered the following: What if John McCain picked Sarah Palin because he’s planning to retire before his term is up, and this is a masterful plan to pull the biggest political coup d’etat, a la femme? If McCain/Palin get elected and McCain retires/resigns, Republicans will have the [...]
the planet is doing great!
Saturday, September 6, 2008
Full transcript – again, Mr Carlin, you are missed. You got people like this around you? Country is full of them now! People walking around all day long, every minute of the day — worried about EVERYTHING! Worried about the air, worried about the water, worried about the soil. Worried about insecticides, pesticides, food additives, [...]
toll revenues are down, and they do what?
Friday, August 1, 2008
USA Today reports that toll revenues are down because (drum roll please): fewer people are driving, they’re driving shorter distances, or they’re taking mass transit. What is the response from the organizations that run toll roads? Why, raise tolls of course. That’s right: like any other time the government gets involved in something, instead of [...]
it’s a great start
Thursday, June 26, 2008
Today the Supreme Court of the United States struck down Washington DC’s handgun ban, by upholding the plain text of the Second Amendment to our Constitution stating that gun ownership is a personal right. CNN story: cnn.com/2008/US/06/26/scotus.guns. The full text of the decision: 07-290.pdf. Hopefully this will start a trend across all of our courts [...]
burma allowing help… finally
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I read in the Wall Street Journal this morning that, 5 weeks after the cyclone that devastated their country, the Burmese (“Myanmarish”) government is finally allowing UN relief helicopters to bring food to the needy.It’s truly sad. The government sent the US Navy, who wanted to help, away. And they’ve disallowed UN relief efforts for [...]
disingenuity
I read this Reuters story today on Americans being against helping Detroit’s Big Three. This is the self-same America that just authorized $700 billion (with a “B”!) dollars to bail-out struggling financial services companies. Now $25 billion is too much to help keep hundreds of thousands of jobs around? That seems to be a double [...]
