I have this really bad habit of countering ignorance through knowledge. Knowledge is power, and it is the kind of power we should covet, as opposed to exercising power – through political machinations – to control or trample the choices and lifestyles of our fellow humans. Ignorance is my least favorite epidemic.

Homemade salsa. I haven’t had the crap from a jar for a long time. This is a recipe I got from some libertarian friends (Ron and Tami Holland) when I visited them in North Carolina. So I modified it, like I do all recipes, and here it is: – (2) cans of Rotel tomatoes (one [...]

I’m what you would call TV ignorant. I don’t know what cable channels I have, I don’t care, and I never remember what channel is what each time I turn the bloody thing on. I watch the local Detroit news at 10pm sometimes, Judge Napolitano on FOX Business News when I can, or occasionally, a [...]

YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook will merge to form one super time-wasting website called … Thanks to Michael Harris for the great tip.

This post is the result of a conversation that was carried out on a Google Group I belong to that is for paleos (paleo-primal lifestylers) who are philosophically libertarian.

I’d rather hear yet another recapitulation (version 1,947) of Lindsay Lohan slogging through her daily ordeals as opposed to the incessant narratives about Tom Brady’s revolting haircut. This is just unacceptable for [...]

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. Slatkin is my favorite conductor, a spitfire who has been in trouble in recent times as he has been accused [...]

I bet his publicists/managers are lying awake at night over this one. “The Internet is completely over,” Prince told the Mirror. “I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won’t pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can’t get it.” He [...]

If you live in certain lakeside communities off of Lake St. Clair, as I do and always have, then you have experienced the hellish nightmare of fish fly season. In season, they cover everything in sight in thick layers: doors, streets, lamp posts, buildings, houses, mailboxes, etc. It’s the 6th Great Lake – Lake St. [...]
