To make up for Friday’s poor showing here are two more links, both courtesy of Radley Balko of the Agitator. Liberal news sites apparently have a deep appreciation for irony. And here is an hour long BBC show featuring five progressively more catastrophic disasters. Don’t be put off by the length because you can watch [...]

CNN has hit a new low. (Thanks to Scott for the link). Why do people suffering from hypothermia often strip off their clothes? Explained here. Two great Onion stories: FEMA Calls Rebuilding Complete as New Orleans Restored to Former Squalor and Meth Addicts Demand Goverment Address Nation’s Growing Spider Menace. Sorry for the paucity of [...]
Unlike some libertarians, I don’t absolutely hate the Post Office. For me, government activities fall into two categories: things that are absolutely evil and things that need to be done but that the government does very inefficiently. The former contains things like the drug war, trade barriers, and dropping bombs on civilians. The latter consists [...]
While I was working out today I saw that ABC News was going to be discussing a bill before Congress that would force employers to give employees sick pay. It is of course nice to have sick pay, but such a mandate would only hurt the people most likely to get sick. Employers could simply [...]
After seeing it for the first time since July 2005 this weekend, I think New Orleans looks better than I had expected it to. It is not, as Phil Anselmo of Pantera and Down–and a NOLA native–so eloquently put it, “a dying whore.” That’s not to say the city is fine. FEMA trailers were still [...]
Cato Institute trade scholar Daniel Ikenson points out that the Justice Department is forcing the tin mill company Arcelor-Mittal to sell off one of its mills “to preserver competition in the eastern U.S. tin mill market,” while the International Trade Commission continues to enforce antidumping provisions against Japan in the tin mill market, protecting Arcelor-Mittal [...]
Even though I’m calling this the Mardi Gras edition, there isn’t anything really related to Mardi Gras about these links, it’s just all I can think about since I will be there in a little over twelve hours. And just to let you know, I won’t be back home until fairly late Monday, so while [...]
Just to let you know, I don’t how much posting I’ll be doing this week. My parents are florists, so I have to work in the shop over Valentine’s Day. Hopefully, I’ll have some posts for you after Wednesday, but on Friday I’m headed to the Sodom and Gomorrah on the Mighty Mississipp’ for Mardi [...]
I Hope You Can See This, Boston Because I'm Doing It as Hard as I Can
Posted: February 9, 2007 in UncategorizedJim Samples, the head of Cartoon Network, resigned today over the Mooninite foofaraw last week in Boston. This is ridiculous for two reasons. One, even though TBS (Cartoon Network’s parent company) will pay Boston $2 million for the “trouble” they caused, Adult Swim has received many times that amount in publicity over this incident, so [...]
In case he doesn’t tell you himself, this guy comes in the name of Jesus, and he’s not following whitey’s rules. A hoohaa by any other name would still smell like tuna. (From Hit and Run). If any of my friends was getting married to a girl, and I found out she flipped out like [...]
