Hey kids...The time has come to say good-bye to the blog—and au revoir to my readers—I'll be back somewhere, sometime, somehow.The blog was started about three years, and 1,146 posts, ago when my sister thought it would be a good outlet for me to share my stupid opinions and charming weirdness with the world, and spare my family and close friends.I had no idea the thing would become as popular as it did. Up until last week I was getting over a 150,000 hits a month. While not exactly ... Read Full Story

There is no greater political smear than accusing someone of being an advocate of judicial activism. For conservatives it is the shrill war cry of every election season. And liberals agree. Yesterday, at the Sotomayor hearing, the well-known clown and newbie senator, Al Franken, felt it necessary to go on record as being an opponent of judicial activism.But the truth is that both conservatives and liberals do not really disfavor judicial activism. What both the left and the right really disl... Read Full Story

Published to Libertarian
This newspaper dude in South Carolina, Brad Warthen, admits he doesn't have much use for libertarian ideas, except when it comes to the right of property owners to hang their undies out on a clothesline.Yesterday hundreds of straight and gay couples gathered in a Salt Lake City square to protest the arrest of a couple of kissing gay guys.Neither Brad Warthen nor any of the freedom smoochers have a libertarian bone in their body—they not only have no respect for private property, and the ri...

Well, I guess we are getting used to bankrupt financial corporations taking taxpayer money and then throwing themselves a big party---but up until now bankrupt government agencies have not been doing it.This week Social Security administrators got together at the classically upscale Biltmore Resort and Spa in Phoenix and threw themselves a $700,000 party.Between cocktail parties and belly dancing demonstrations the administrators attended various courses including "Techniques to Empower You...

Google is the Barack Obama of the Technology Industry.It's quite astounding that a company which makes 97% of its revenue off of advertising gets a free pass virtually all of the time.. and for the most part the technology press is absolutely giddy over the announcement of Google's Chrome Operating System.At this time Goggle knows who you are ,where you live and everything else it can gather as your browsing goes through their computers. While Larry Page and Sergey Brin have some pretty sca... Read Full Story

As a general rule we should be skeptical when the government passes a law and creates a regulatory agency if there is little indication there is a problem which needs to be addressed. And as a universal rule, whenever Congress passes any legislation regarding individual privacy you know that it has little to do with privacy.The HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ) privacy provisions are no exception.I can vividly recall the period of time when the federal government...

The leaders of the industrial world will be attending the G-8 conference in L’Aquila, this week. The hot topic will be global climate, the environment and how to encourage the development of Green Technology. The meeting will be hosted by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and the hottest politician on the planet, Italy's Minister for Equal Opportunity, Mara Carfanga, who prior to entering politics was an exceptionally beautiful topless model and dancer. No doubt the couple will be ... Read Full Story

Published to Sarah Palin
I almost hope that Sarah Palin is calling it quits because an indictment is about to be unsealed or she has been involved in a long-distance lesbian affair with an Argentine firecracker. Otherwise it means Blondenfreude has won again—and the only path to redemption is embracing victimhood.Recently it seems that all Sarah has been doing is whining about her treatment at the hands of the mainstream press, other Republicans, and a dirty old man who thinks himself a sophisticated late ni...

Published to Fireworks
Fireworks are getting hotter. This is the kind of thing that gets me all conflicted. As an intelligent woman I should be deeply offended, by the sight of minimally clad young women hawking fireworks at a stand in Puyallup, Washington. And if I was a totally straight girl (or a 1993 lesbian), I probably would be. But alas I am not—when it comes to stuff like this no guy has me beat for shallowness: The bodacious enterprise is setting off some sparks among the good people of Washington State....
