Working…can’t write…dumping link… – This is why they should. (I got sick of this nontroversy a couple days ago) – When Pat Buchanan calls your Nazi analogy over the edge, it is. – Read the comments to see why I call them nutjobs. (note the comment and reactions to the comment that explains this away [...]
The Long and Slow Recovery Continues
At this rate, it’s going to take about 10 years to recover. Which is about right, considering how many jobs we’ve lost and how big the economic catastrophe was (don’t fool yourself, it was huge and Bush’s). Anybody who says we’ll be “fine” before then is probably selling something, or running for something. That doesn’t [...]
Existing home sales soar 8% in April
http://money.cnn.com/2010/05/24/real_estate/existing_home_sales/?postversion=2010052412 “The upswing in April existing-home sales was expected because of the tax credit inducement, and no doubt there will be some temporary fallback in the months immediately after it expires, but other factors also are supporting the market,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist. “For people who were on the sidelines, there’s been a [...]
Odds are, the Hutaree Militia gets off
I was surprised to learn this… As I describe it in my book, Blood and Politics: The History of the White Nationalist Movement from the Margins to the Mainstream (pp. 144 – 171), the federal government has never won a sedition case against militia-types, white supremacists, or neo-Nazis. Since World War One, they have won [...]
Cost of Illegal Immigrants
http://www.factcheck.org/2009/04/cost-of-illegal-immigrants/ Rather solid confirmation of the saying, “a lie can get halfway around the world, before the truth can get its shoes on.”. In this case it would be updated, “the ignorant forward emails that agree with their inclinations, the learned do some research.”
Clearing off the desktop…
…sometimes I fall behind. So to catch up, I just dump a lot of stuff with short commentary and reboot the browsers so my computer can think again. Here goes… First up is an acknowledgement of the change to Arizona law. This took away the worst of it, but I’d expect the rest to be [...]

Whole boatloads of Awesome
If you’ve missed the ICP hilarity over the past few months, you can catch up here. Shaggy 2 Dope: Come on, a rock that pulls metal towards it or pushes it away? Yeah, it has to do with the magnetic polar caps and [stuff]. But for real? Come on, man. You’re just holding a U-shaped [...]
Arizona immigration law: Are you listening, Mr. President?
http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/LaurieRoberts/79298 Interesting take on it. Is it that bad (crime wise)? And does this help that fight? Or just make more criminals?
Hey Guys
I found this…fascinating…on a number of levels. I wonder if it’s because I’m a “guy”. Not sure. Will post later if I figure it out. Are “guys” now “girls”? Or is this a subconscious literal expression of the point of female/gay male “beauty” (i.e. to appeal to “guys”)? Either way, it’s always nice to find [...]
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 [...]
