Carnival of the Libertarians: Mother’s Day Edition

Welcome to the May 11, 2008 edition of carnival of the libertarians. I was invited a month or more ago to host this carnival. I’m happy to do so. I’ve got libertarian leaning myself, as well as some not so libertarian ones as those who’ve crawled the blog might be [...]

Reasons to Hate My Species

“Animal abusers are cowards,” says PETA Manager Martin Mersereau. “They take their issues out on the most defenseless beings available to them. Seattle residents have reason to be concerned. According to leading mental health professionals and law enforcement agencies, perpetrators of violent acts against animals are often repeat offenders who pose a serious threat to [...]

Sex and Ringtones

Image via WikipediaAskimet catches virtually all of the spam that hits this blog but sometimes I scan the logs just to see what’s coming through and to assure myself that nothing genuine is being flagged as spam. And what have I found lately? Well, sex. Lots of sex. And drugs– most of which concern sex. [...]

Lets see what that invisible hand is up to today

Anyone running a WordPress blog has likely seen at least a mention of this article, as its floating through the WP Admin Dashboard RSS feed right now, but no matter, my point is not Microsoft bashing. No, my point is Adam Smith bashing. Actually, to be fair I’m not bashing Adam Smith. I’m just bashing [...]

This is not my Country: May 2008

Welcome to the May 1, 2008 edition of this is not my country. This edition is much shorter than the past two or three but we’ve lost nothing in quality. War: jkrane82 presents Pentagon Spin, Much to Our Chagrin posted at We Op-Ed, saying, “Exploring the impact and significance of the Pentagon’s use of military analysts for [...]

Another Naked Teenage Girl

Once again the nation is convulsing over a celebrity sex scandal. Racy photos of yet another teen star are making the news, and boy is it shameful! Except that the whole thing is nonsense. Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus was photographed showing her back. Yes, that’s right. She was photographed exposing that thing with the [...]

Why bother with making sense… when you have peanut butter

This must be one of the more amusing ‘debunkings’ of evolution I’ve seen thus far. Have a look. think of it as a kind of ‘how many layers of stupid can you find’ game. I love the little speech given by the frumpy lady starting about ten seconds in. Several videos follow the break. This ‘peanut [...]

This is not my country: The ’spring is in the air’ edition

April 1, 2008. (Well… Ok. Its actually April 5th. Let’s just say that April 1 is the nominal date.) Spring is in the air. I’m not all that happy about it, but such is the way it is. Here at the the ‘This Is Not My Country Carnival’ we’ve got a new set of post [...]

Imagine a vat of liquid cow manure

I’ve written here and there about climate change and I also think that I’ve mentioned my fetish for technology. The problem, rather obviously, is that technology requires power. I like power. I do not wish to return to those halcyon days when long distance travel meant going to the next town and ingrown toenails were [...]

Instantiated in Perfection

Short but hopefully inflammatory. The United States was founded on a strong set of principles, most if not all of which I favor by the way. But lets think about something else. Since its founding, people in the United States have had a kind of religious zeal about those founding principles. Politics seems to be eternally [...]

Wanna bet he was gay?

I’m guessing. Absolutely. I know no more about this case than is written in the article cited, but I’d bet that he was beaten and burned for liking ‘outies’ instead of ‘innies’. Any takers? The victim, 27-year-old Michael Lee Williams of North Richmond, was unrecognizable when firefighters found his body burning Sunday night next to [...]

“the chrome has worn off the turd”

I’ve been running Vista for six to nine months now. I can’t remember exactly. The OS came installed on a laptop, and I was scared when I bought it. Turns out the fear was justified. That laptop was new when I bought it and is, physically, the best box in my collection– the rest of the [...]

Bush and Cheney Arrested

Well, not really but maybe if theystop for gas in the wrong towns in Vermont. Yes, this is a symbolic gesture. It isn’t the first though. I’d prefer we go after his boss but… Democrats.com has a petition, which I’ve already written about in Now that the Democrats have the House… but which is worth reprinting: [...]

Climb out of the bottle

And pick up with Acid, X, and weed. A new study of recreational drug use out of the UK has reached some startling conclusions. The study headed up by professor David Nutt of Britain’s Bristol University and his colleagues have proposed a new framework for classifying recreational drugs and harmful substances. Within this new framework alcohol [...]

I am not feeling the love

She did. Six times. Won it in an auction. Or maybe sold it in an auction. Either way I’m not feeling much sympathy for anyone involved in this mess. Not the girl. Not the guys. Not the site that hosted the sale. A woman in Germany who became pregnant after an online sex auction has won [...]

I kill children

I kill children I love to see them die I kill children And make their mamas cry Crush ‘em under my car I wanna hear them scream Feed ‘em poison candy To spoil their Halloween Dead Kennedys I can’t quite figure out when it became OK to kill kids in the name of “gettin’ the job done”. The U.S. launched a military missile strike Monday [...]

This is not my Country: March

Welcome to the March 1, 2008 edition of this is not my country. Once again I am too busy to breathe and so once again the carnival is somewhat raw. But enjoy. Freddie L. Sirmans, Sr. presents COLD STEEL RAW BUCK NAKED ECONOMICS 101. posted at CAN US ECONOMY SURVIVE DOOMSDAY?. DrGizmondo presents The puppet masters: Who’s pulling [...]

Reactions to the Candidates?

I was contacted a couple of days ago by a PhD. candidate from Stony Brook University asking if I’d help promote a survey that is to become part of a dissertation. Sure. Why not? I’ve also been asked to disable comments on this post and I understand why, so comments are disabled for this post. Immediately [...]

9/11? Iraq? From the ass’s mouth

Take a peek at 01:10 to about 01:20. That isn’t the story I heard.
