In case you haven’t seen it on Sports Center, here is Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy going apeshit on the local media. Hands down the best thing ever from Your the Man Now Dog. (N.B. I wouldn’t watch this at work.) People should use this toddler to shame adults for how little they know [...]

Ron Paul has introduced a bill that would exempt tips from payroll taxes. If it passes (I practically guarantee it won’t, but it would stand a decent chance if he were president) it would be a huge boon to workers in the ever growing service sector of our economy. Here’s Paul’s speech on the bill [...]
A federal judge has ruled some of the Patriot Act unconstitutional: The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review, set up to review wiretap applications in intelligence cases under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, “holds that the Constitution need not control the conduct of criminal surveillance in the United States,” Aiken wrote.

Something is wrong with WordPress or at least this blog, and I seem to be unable to copy and paste anything in here. Consequently, if you want to read my latest post (on the striking down of elements of the Patriot Act) you’ll have to go to my MySpace blog here. Update: The problem seems [...]
The world’s top twenty experiments are all pretty awesome. This alarm clock is on the cutting edge of get-your-lazy-ass-out-of-bed technology. Want to work for Google? Answer these insane questions. (Via MR.) These two commercials are both hilarious, but the second is way better than the first. Finally, take this sixty question American history (mostly) quiz. [...]
General Petraeus’ testimony last week on the Surge and progress in Iraq was much hyped by numerous pundits from across the political spectrum. But as knowledgeable as the general may be, he is still one man with a limited view of the situation–not to mention the numerous incentives he has to paint a rosier than [...]
If you want to know why the contemporary Left is so intellectually bereft, you need only to look at Naomi Klein. She’s one of the main economic illiterates that served as inspiration for the anti-globalization movement–which thankfully seems to have dropped from the face of the Earth. But now she’s back with a new book [...]
People that I know often seem to have the impression that John McCain is the one leading Republican presidential candidate who’s on an even keel, practically a moderate, and would never act as rashly in office as President Bush. I think this reputation stems in large measure from McCain’s willingness to level with people–at least [...]
If you’re unfamiliar with Blackwater Security, they’re the mercenary group–or “independent contractors” as they’re euphemistically called–that provides almost all of the security guards for American civilian officials in Iraq. They also seem to operate outside both Iraqi and American law, and on Sunday some of the company’s troops killed eight Iraqis after taking fire. Because [...]
If my college library looked more like these places, I probably would have spent more time there. (Via MR.) Who likes big holes? (Via The Agitator.) So true. I don’t think this guy is going to attract any venture capital. Finally, Ingmar Bergman: the soap commercial years.
