An aggressive mutiny of black GIs in WWII

Posted on February 11, 2012 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments

White Australian troops had to rein them in. It may be part of the reason why the U.S. army to this day rarely deploys black troops in frontline infantry positions
BLACK US troops mutinied in Townsville [Australia] in 1942 and turned machineguns on their officers, in a secret chapter of the war in the Pacific [...]

Skeptic brains ‘emit fear signals that can disrupt attempts at rational thought’

Posted on February 11, 2012 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Another Leftist attempt to declare their opponents psychologically unfit. Such attacks go back a long way. There was a big burst of it among academic psychologists from 1950 onwards and the Soviets even locked up their critics in psychiatric hospitals. So the ghoulish intellectual ancestry of the writer below is clear. [...]

Why Economic Models Are Always Wrong

Posted on October 31, 2011 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off

But climate models are right? Both types of model are of the same ilk. What the guy below says is what my son tells me: He builds mathematical models of flows in liquids so he can always test his models against reality. And what he tells me is that the tiniest [...]

Increased illness due to warming?

Posted on October 31, 2011 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off

I do a terrible, wicked thing when I read press reports about scientific findings that surprise me. I look up the original journal article that the report is based on! Doing so very often gives me a chuckle. In the present case, I was surpised to hear how very ill [...]

Conservatives ARE more squeamish than liberals: Study finds right-wingers are more easily disgusted

Posted on October 31, 2011 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off

This is a good confirmation of Haidt’s research about the greater moral complexity of conservatives and shows why Leftists are unmoved by such things as abortion and Communist mass-murder. They really are emotionally deficient. Like psychopaths, their only real emotion is hate
How easy do you find it to look at revolting images such [...]

Stop the Bad Guys?

Posted on May 27, 2011 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off

I rarely disagree with Prof. Boudreaux but I have to say that his clever little libertarian formulation below is grossly at variance with the facts. He seems to think that conservatives heart foreign wars. He is wrong. Traditionally, American conservatives have been isolationists and that strain of thought is still well represented [...]

In an odd turn of events, former GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz thinks that anyone that criticizes GM is not only “mis-informed” but insists that those “foaming ideologues” that criticize the car giant are “damaging the Republican Party.”
It is interesting that an executive in the company derided as “Government Motors” is [...]

On June 24 the House of Representatives passed by a bare minimum number of votes the DISCLOSE Act, a law that is supposed to be a new effort to get around the recent US Supreme Court decision that struck down parts of Congress’ campaign finance law. Bare minimum or no there is [...]

Book Review: Darwin’s Racists

Posted on January 19, 2010 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off

This book written by Sharon Sebastian and Raymond Bohlin was a nice suprise. I have always been open minded to the possiblity of evolution being a tool used by God to create mankind in his own sense of time. I had never studied the so called science of evolution very deeply. Darwin’s [...]

Posted on December 21, 2009 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off

So, I was bored this afternoon, chores done (except for a haircut), presents rapped, house clean. Movie time! I decided “what the heck, I’ll give Avatar a whirl.” Matinee rate of $9.25 for a 3-D movie. $10 for some darned good popcorn and a coke (I went to a different theater than usual. Screen was [...]

Words To Live By On A Snowy Friday

Posted on December 18, 2009 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Taking a slight break from politics

Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue.
Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
Drive carefully. It’s not only cars that can [...]
