Oh. My. God. Has Ryan given up on politics? Well, in short, no. The problem is that politics raises my blood pressure, sends me into fits and generally drives me to want to hurt somebody. Yes, the current state of politics is sad at best, and lord knows we need all the help we can get… But the inane ramblings of one more pissed off libertarian in the blog world isn’t going to help matters. And yes, sadly I am pissed off and can no longer approach the topic of politics in any sort ... Read Full Story

If you’ve ever watched the BBC show “Top Gear,” you’ll understand why this is so comical. Not only because the author has a knack for being blunt with the truth, but because the truth hits the goon squad right between the eyes… `Possibly worst new car money can buy’ Our U.K columnist hates Insight’s CVT gearbox, and says Honda and the greenies get it all wrong - Jeremy Clarkson OXFORD, U.K.–Much has been written about the Insight, Honda’s new l...

I accidentally happened upon the Huffington Post this morning. I say accidentally because I am usually so disgusted by the dredges that write there that I stay away in the name of good health. So when I clicked a headline that popped up in my Yahoo! news about why Annie Le’s killer shouldn’t have been arrested as a person of interest and was sent to Huffington, I was a bit shocked. Not surprised given the ludicrous content of the article, but I was torqued off to be on the site no... Read Full Story

It’s not that I don’t care about the state of things, but I am also realistic and know that talking to my “humble” representative will result in nothing but frustration since Dave Obey doesn’t care about anythign that doesn’t directly benefit Dave Obey. So after giving it some thought, I came up with 10 things that would be more productive than talking to Dave Obey: Trying to teach my cat theoretical physics Counting ceiling tiles Sorting M&M’s b...

In all seriousness, I have been considering backing out of politics as of late. Not because it’s not interesting, but because there are far more useful things I could be doing with my time. Like contemplating the finer points of kippered fish snacks and sardines. or maybe trying to balance dollops of soap suds on my cat’s head. Strong words from somebody who normally enjoys standing on the soap box in the middle of the town’s square. But really, my throat is starting to hurt... Read Full Story

It could equal 4. Or 3. Or maybe even 7. It’s all very straight forward, isn’t it? After all, what is reality if not what we are told it is? Of course, I’m being facetious. Reality is an absolute. We know that 2+2=4 because it is mathematically provable. It is not relative to opinion nor is it debatable. However, if somebody puts a gun to your head, you had better believe that you’re going to be more than willing to lay claim that 2+2= whatever the hell you’re be... Read Full Story

CSPI (yeah, you remember these nanny state buffoons, don’t you?) is at it again, this time going after Denny’s restaurants for supposedly having too much sodium in some of their meals. So here’s wht our friends at the Center for Consumer Freedom have to say: This just in: Eating is “dangerous.” At least, that’s what the Center for Science in the Public Interest is claiming in a new lawsuit against Denny’s restaurant. Time for an emergency reality check. CSPI has a long histo... Read Full Story

I’ve addressed this before, but since it refuses to die I thought I would repost an article from today’s Center for Consumer Freedom newsletter: As if money-hungry trial lawyers and the Center for Science in the Public Interest weren’t enough. This morning, the phony Cancer Project filed a lawsuit asking the court to require a cancer-risk warning label on all hot dog packages sold in New Jersey. There’s no beef to its cancer claims, of course, as the Associated Press and other med... Read Full Story

Hereis a perfect example of why global warming/climate change supporters are laughable and by and large aren’t taken seriously by anybody with an IQ that places them above zombie. Apparently the laws of supply and demand caught up with a wind turbine parts plant in the UK. In response to the lack of demand, the plant is to be shuttered. Makes sense to me. After all, if an industry is failing because there is no demand for their product, they either a) switch to a new product that is in ... Read Full Story
