I’m pretty terrible about not posting anything on here. Pretty much this is a result of being bogged down with a mountain of homework or other academic work, which is an adequate excuse for me. I was considering implementing something to produce a daily digest of interesting links from google reader with a brief comment, [...]
The Unbearable Death of Postmodernism
Postmodernism is dead I have some good news—kick back, relax, enjoy the rest of the summer, stop worrying about where your life is and isn’t heading. What news? Well, on 24th September, we can officially and definitively declare that postmodernism is dead. Finished. History. A difficult period in human thought over and done with. How [...]

Yes, yes, I know that nobody reads my drivel anyway, but I still feel sort of bad about not having posted anything since mid-December (is that right? I didn’t even look to see when my last real post was.). I’ve been awfully busy with schoolwork. With luck I’ll actually manage to keep some kind of [...]

The Huffington Post takes it out on the media that let this whole mess get out of control: Yesterday afternoon, the leader of a microscopic cult of idiots who announced plans to stage an “international” day of Quran burning in Gainesville, Florida held a press conference, for a rapt media which decided that his moronic [...]

It’s probably the lack of nutmeg to make really great French Toast with. Or, failing that, the fact that what they’re getting is barely enough to sustain themselves without the opportunity to improve the living conditions. And also, no meat. But hey, the situation is so polemic and tragic that I just can’t help but [...]
Canaries in the coalmine
To borrow the analogy from John Robb over at Global Guerillas, who sees the recent Joe Stack incident as such a marker. In addition to that, I’d point out the guy who bulldozed his own house in retaliation of forclosure: As well as the ridiculousness of the Tea Party. These people don’t know what they [...]
In which I ponder the meaning of conservativism, reject rationalism and wander into the desert in search of something more fun.
Dear Conservative Movement: Stop Ruining My Life, by Michael Brendan Dougherty You go so far as to encourage people to fabricate their entire identity from the Republican platform. Look at S.E. Cupp. She used to be a person! Now, under your influence, she is one of the lamer Rush Limbaugh monologues from the Clinton era. [...]

Homeless people can’t pay fines. What to do about panhandling? San Antonio has a solution: You see them everywhere….panhandlers…often holding crude cardboard signs, begging for cash at busy intersections. Efforts to wipe out panhandling by outlawing the practice have been ineffective, largely because panhandlers don’t have the money to pay fines, taxpayers are not excited [...]

I had originally planned on posting some really kickass video from Reason TV, but I was blindsided by PajamasMedia. This is truly demoralizing and defies any sense of reason or liberty: Libertarians Need to Rethink Support for Drug Legalization. Why? Here’s what happened: guy was getting arrested, freaked out because he was carrying a bag [...]

Unlike Rob over at To the People, I think this is great: PALMDALE, Calif. — Schoolteacher Shana Richey misses the playroom she decorated with Glamour Girl decals for her daughters. Fireman Jay Fernandez misses the custom putting green he installed in his backyard. But ever since they quit paying their mortgages and walked away from [...]
