One Flew Over The Political Cuckoo’s Nest

Saturday, September 13, 2008 13:59 Comments Off

A magnificent composition sent to me by Charles Burris. Many cuckoos are brood parasites who lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species which hatch them and rear them as their own offspring. To many people this sounds absolutely crazy and hence use “cuckoo” as a term of derision or ridicule. There are [...]

Naked PETA Women on My Lunch Hour

Thursday, September 11, 2008 22:38 Comments Off

Eating 1 Lb of Meat = 6 Months of Showers. That was the theme of PETA as they took to downtown Detroit yesterday. When I take to the downtown streets in the afternoon, for my lunch break, the day often turns eventful. Weird people, weird things, dead bodies, movies being filmed, and always – action. [...]

What Makes a Keynesian Smile?

Sunday, September 7, 2008 22:18 Comments Off

A government bailout, especially one that benefits him personally. I lost respect for the Bond King, Bill Gross, when he started chanting for unmitigated intervention in the financial markets. He basically became unhinged, repeatedly harping on the need for big government to bail out or subsidize everyone and everything. His latest article is no different. [...]

Aerobics Classes Suck

As if I haven’t harped on this enough, now comes Richard Nikoley. This is such a no-brainer. Women of aerobics. They are in my gym, day after day, year after year, and their body composition remains exactly the same. The only ones that avoid that static disorder are the ones who hit the weight floor [...]

“Barack Obama Has Never Run a State, a City, or a Business”

Sunday, September 7, 2008 20:58 Comments Off

They said that about Barack Obama on Morning Joe a few days ago. They even kept flashing that quote across the screen. How many people will stop to properly scrutinize that statement for its shameless absurdity? First of all, what I picked up on is comparing a business to a city or a state. How [...]

Libertography Part II

More of the same. The first four photos were taken in the Harmer Park area of Marietta, Ohio, a great river town. All were taken with the Canon SD1100 snapshot camera. If you can think composition, you can do great work with these limited cameras. A Detroit house. A Kentucky porch. A house in a [...]

Libertography

Well, not really, but lacking a better title for this post……I haven’t been blogging a whole lot lately because I’ve been busy doing some photo work with the free time I do have. I’ve been experimenting with Photoshop Elements for Mac, iPhoto, and posting photos on MobileMe, as well as setting up albums in SmugMug. [...]

A House is Not an “Investment,” So Get Over It

Thursday, September 4, 2008 20:51 Comments Off

Regarding Lew Rockwell’s post on his blog, Eric Englund stressed this most important point in one of his articles: a house is a durable consumer good. And I stated it back in 2005, when people thought I was nuts. However, not one person I know of (outside of self-educated skeptics, libertarians, or Austrians), be it [...]
