Anthony Bourdain and Uncle Ted
Two guys I love get together for a little fun, Uncle Ted style.
Tea Party Update
When I originally mentioned the Austin Tea Party, their website listed 2 times: a midday one and an evening one. Checking the Tea Party website, I now see it only talking about the evening event. So I emailed to ask what happened to the midday event.
It seems it is a separate (but obviously related) event, the Don’t Mess With Texas Tea Party.
The evening event is the National Tea Party.
Safety laws that don’t work
I usually don’t care for Cracked’s lists of stuff, but this list of the 5 most popular safety laws that don’t work is pretty spot on. (h/t to SayUncle)
Let’s surrender!
I really do not like Ann Coulter. But this article I mostly agree with. I don’t like all of her cheapshots and bashing (but it’s not being diplomatic that makes her money), but her underlying argument is spot on.
EFF: On warrantless wiretapping, Obama worse than Bush
According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Obama’s handling of warrantless wiretapping is worse than Bush.
For all you people that wanted “hope and change”, I guess you didn’t realize that change can also include “getting worse”.
Again, the gulf between Candidate Obama and President Obama is striking. As a candidate, Obama ran promising a new era of government transparency and accountability, an end to the Bush DOJ’s radical theories of executive power, and reform of the PATRIOT Act. But, this week, Obama’s own Department Of Justice has argued that, under the PATRIOT Act, the government shall be entirely unaccountable for surveilling Americans in violation of its own laws.
So all you Obama supporters out there. Please explain to me how this is good. How this is better.
Perspective on our current state
Dockbot over at 2A Musing has a nice perspective piece on the current state of our country and the direction it’s heading.
Hope and change folks….
Irrational thinking
An editorial on irrational thinking.
That’s the thing. There isn’t thinking, it’s all emotion driven.
Austin Tea Party
I was wondering when Austin was going to have a tea party.
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results
That’s the definition of insanity. It seems to be alive and well.
If there is some new era of urban conflict and we need to prepare ourselves for that conflict, there seem to be two courses of action. The course of action some want us to take is to disarm the good citizens and tell us that Government Will Save You™. Well, I offer my simple experiment as to why that won’t work. So the remaining course of action is to take some responsibility for yourself to get some training, knowledge, and ability on how to defend yourself.
It’s your life. How do you want to live it? You’re always welcome to join the insanity. Let me know how that works out for you.
