Fitness.
April 2, 2008 – 11:33 pm
Since my wife is preparing for a procto and she regularly sets records for strange and numerous things found in her colon I decided to work off some stress by writing an article, actually I’ve written several articles to work off the stress. This one is about genetic fitness and politics.
My qualifications: my wife is […]
Vote for the Greater Evil: the Other Option
April 2, 2008 – 11:30 pm
I submitted an article the other day which I seriously doubt see will ever see the light of day.
One sentence summary. The economy is tanking so therefore vote for the greater evil in order to get rid of it.
The article was obtuse, more than average numerate and just plain hard to read. I can do […]
American Slavery
April 2, 2008 – 11:27 pm

When discussing politics the basic premise of the writer can be confusing. My basic premise has confused some of my readers at least according to the feedback I’ve gotten so here is my premise:
Bogus Issues
April 2, 2008 – 11:10 pm
This is not intended as an advocacy of a particular ideology just a laundry list of the bankrupt policies of the government sanctioned and at least partly government financed parties: the Democrats and the Republicans. Even though I am a lifelong libertarian as I suspect will be obvious I really don’t care who you vote […]
President Obama
April 1, 2008 – 1:30 pm
The general election is effectively over with two possible exceptions:
Obama dies. At this point even Howard Dean having an episode of sanity and going with the Republican solution of seating half of the FL and MI delegates will not put Hillary back in the running if Obama keeps breathing.
Post-Industrial Politics
March 8, 2008 – 5:36 pm
Got called on the idea that only the current two major party system counted in a forum where I argue. As a lifelong libertarian I found the argument advanced by my opponent absurd. After checking his posts I decided he was non-idiot, non-lunatic who was operating on out of date postulates. To be specific the […]
