The Dick Army At Work.
All those folks that don’t want to pay taxes unless it is for torture and war marched on Washington, D.C. today.
The protests, organized by Fox News and FreedomWorks.org (Dick Armey’s lobbying firm) focused on how U.S. taxes should be cut to increase the deficit by even more than the $5,000,000,000,000 added [...]

McCarthyism ‘09 Claims Its First Victim

Sen. Joe McCarthy
Over the weekend and under the cover of darkness, we had the first casualty of the new Red Scare.
Van Jones, Obama’s pick to help build the U.S.’s green job economy, resigned after the constant attacks by the right wing media.
For those that don’t know who Jones is, here’s [...]
Holy Shit, I Still Have a Website.
My lord, I’ve been spending too much time on Facebook.
I’ve neglected my role here, as RPN. My deepest apologies.
To catch you up to the story quickly (this would be Chapter 12 for those reading at home), our hero in the story has taken to walking the Earth in order to save it.
Which sounds all [...]
The Economic Apocalypse (retro-look)
This line of thought began with this MetaFilter post linking to this FRONTLINE piece on what happened with the banking/ibanking sector last Fall. [BTW, the best animation explanation of the problems is here.]
The FRONTLINE documentary does a great job at pointing out some of the players in the mix and the personal relationships that helped [...]
Some Stuff I Won’t Get To Today (dangit)
Cartoon of the Day about Republican RobotJesus.
An alternate view on how to raise good children and not spoiled little brats who are scared of everything.
Satellites exploding in space. It was bound to happen. Now the question is how many more billions they will turn to dust…in spaaaace.
Apple is working with the evil empires to [...]
A Couple New Vids for Shits and Giggles and Deep Morning Thoughts
And of course….
I like the soundtrack on the second one much better.
Music and the Economic Collapse of the U.S.
This is a pretty good example of what my book is like…my intellectual ramblings divided by popular culture references. The book is also my philosophy “dissertation”. However, unlike most phi-disses, this one was created to be understood by another with the capacity to appreciate simple culture, and not necessarily someone who [...]
I’m Still Trying to Come Up With a Title for My Book
I just thought of another good one, “Philosophy is an Action.”
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I’ve already written down some predictions of what people will think of it, and I want to check my work.
Joel, you first.
And a Very Merry Christmas to Wilmington, OH from Bush to You
No, I’m not letting Bush off the hook because some pissed off guy threw a shoe at him. I would highly recommend the town of Wilmington, OH do the same thing. It’s a nice, non-lethally violent, way to express one’s displeasure…
WILMINGTON, Ohio — As hard times go, this is about as hard as it gets. [...]
Educating Rick Warren On What Jesus Said (and how He Acted)
I can’t believe I have to do this. I was reading an interview that Rick Warren (of the Purpose Driven Life) gave and was struck by something he wrote. So I kept reading the interview and was struck by a few other silly things he said.
Look, I’ve got nothing against Rick Warren personally. From what [...]
