Let’s Ban Candy: Since six children have died, we must take action against all candy manufacturers. According to this Arizona congressman, we need strict regulatory control of candy products in order to alleviate potential choking hazards. Just when you think it can’t get any worse, yet another bureaucratic nightmare rears its ugly head. This country [...]

The Militant Homosexual Left: Shawn O’Hearn is apparently a prominent leader in the San Francisco queer movement. Here is a sick article by O’Hearn that spells out the agenda for the militant gay Left; that is, to enforce the notion that male-on-male sex is purely natural, along with being the ultimate human sexual experience.

Anti-War, Wellstone, and my Leftist Mentor: Many moons ago, I had an ulta, ultra, ultra Leftist poly sci Prof. in college, and he was a good friend of Paul Wellstone, and especially, our local guy, congressman David Bonior.

He is a pathologist by training, and he did his internship and residency at the fabulous Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He has written a few books, he writes for lay publications and journals, and he makes the rounds [...]

On Memetics: From memes.org: “Memes are Mind Viruses. One needs to be aware of the power, incestutous, and insidious nature of ideas, icons, concepts, and theory. There is a reason why, in mediaspeak, the format of broadcasting is called programming. We are entirely suseptible to the influence of others. We are community-dwellers and as such, [...]

Doctrine, Doctrinaire, or Indoctrinating?: William Safire has an interesting column in today’s New York Times Magazine.
