Mish has the quick rundown on the UAW workers at a GM plant in Indiana who voted themselves out of a job. IndyStar.com writes: GM executives three years ago scheduled the shutdown of the 2.1-million-square-foot metal plant in 2011 if no buyer appeared. This spring, JD Norman Industries agreed to take over the factory if UAW [...]

I really hate vegan-yoga-meditation-new agey, crystal healing, supernaturalist, Age-of-Aquarius, pseudo-consciousness raising fluff bullshit. I just had to say that. Something in my email box provoked me to say that tonight. Have you ever been to Sedona, Arizona? My folks used to live out that way, so I visited often. It’s a fun, clean, quiet town [...]

NOTE: Some version of this will end up being published on LewRockwell.com tomorrow. In July 2009, the New York Times published a piece about urban bicycling in Detroit titled, “Bike among the Ruins.” The gist of the piece was that Detroit, the city where I was born and lived for a decade, is an undiscovered [...]

I must post these videos of my favorite musical piece of all time. The first video is a brilliant Leonard Slatkin performance conducting the BBC Orchestra at the Albert Hall in London shortly after 9/11.

I had a surreal conversation recently, after flipping through the website of a Bed & Breakfast proprietor that was quite the piece of work. I placed a call to inquire about reservations [...]

No matter what you think of these politicos and their tactics, one can’t help but love this clever and funny ad from John Dennis, opponent of Nancy Pelosi.

For over a year, I have followed, documented, and exposed the government’s fear mongering regarding the swine flu pandemic botch. The results were predictable from the start. In June of this year, this spectacular article came and went with barely a mention ’round the Internet. Richard Gale and Gary Null wrote a very important piece, [...]
