Cox

Posted: December 31, 2007 in Uncategorized

I actually saw Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story last week, but I’ve been too busy L-I-V-I-N (Not a typo.  Don’t get it?  Go here.) to write a post on it.  Anyhow, everyone who is a fan of popular American and/or dick jokes should go see this movie.  You might be worried that it will [...]

Yeah, yeah, this is my first post of the week, but so what?  Blogging isn’t life, and I was fortunate to experience a great chunk of living over the past week.  Plus, you should have seen this one coming. For $1000, this company will map your genome and tell you more about your genetics than [...]

The Dark Knight will be awesome if this trailer is any indication. The Japanese never cease to amaze me with their bizarre….well, their bizarre everything. These sure are some purty pictures.  (Link from the Agitator.) Brad Neely brings it solid yet again in this edition of the “Professor Brothers”.  The Keifer Sutherland part is too [...]

The Ron Paul-Clutch Connection?

Posted: December 21, 2007 in Uncategorized

My friend J.C. has informed me that he caught the name Jean-Paul Gaster from Germantown, Maryland on RonPaul2008.com’s scrolling list of recent donors.  That just happens to be the name and location of the drummer from the absolutely amazing stoner rock band Clutch.  Of course, that could just be a coincidence, but that’s not a [...]

Secession!

The Lakota Indians have announced that they are withdrawing from treaties they signed with the United States government more than 150 years ago, making them an independent nation.  From the AFP: “We are no longer citizens of the United States of America and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country [...]

Ron Paul Roundup

Posted: December 20, 2007 in Uncategorized

The first big piece of information you should know if you haven’t been following the Paul campaign lately is that on Sunday it raised over $6 million from nearly 60,000 donors (almost 25,000 of them new). This was done in commemoration of the Boston Tea Party and like the $4.3 million raised on November 5th, [...]

I’ve noted multiple times in the past that we shouldn’t be nearly as afraid of terrorism as most Americans seem to be.  I also find it extremely amusing that conservatives who seem to pride themselves so much on their chest pounding machismo turn into a bunch of Little Polly Pee Pants when the word “terrorism” [...]

Hammer of Justice Crushes You

Posted: December 18, 2007 in Uncategorized

Jeff Tucker–vice president of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, which employed me at one time–wrote an excellent article yesterday on some of the many failings of our justice system.  Not any of the big ones like wrongful imprisonment on wrong door SWAT raids, just what he saw watching the daily workings of his municipal court–the [...]

This InfoMania takedown of the latest batch of anti-drug ads is truly excellent and encapsulates most of what I had been thinking about them.  My only quibble is that if I were high, and my dog started telling me not to smoke weed, I think that would only encourage me to smoke more.  I mean, [...]

I really hate Emile Hirsch, but this Speed Racer trailer looks delightfully absurd. If you like, you can check out the first ten minutes of Walk Hard here. This little girl is not scared of monsters. Nerd joke.  (Link from LRC.) Khaaaaan!!!  (I apologize for the shitty video quality.) A blueprint for beating the Patriots [...]
