Apparently Hillary Clinton can’t let it hang loose and be all truth-telling and pure like Senator Yells-at-Clouds because her woman-ness won’t let her. So this supporter does it for her. Beneath, a fisking. Original in bold, response in italic.
And by “recent” I of course mean “yesterday” Less recently, I took Facebook off my phone. It just takes up too much data space, and I tire of scrolling through it. This doesn’t mean that Facebook is “dead” to me, but it does mean that I will be using it less frequently. The charm of… Read More Writing Apps and Social Media – Some Recent Experiences
You may not know this, but I fart around in my office with music as well. A little bit ago, I made this: Yesterday, I found some of the tracks that I didn’t put on Yellow, made a new one, and called it Other. Behold. Each album is a buck each if’n you want to download them for… Read More Duke Bike Rider Lives.
Episode 2: Star Wars, Nothing But Star Wars Podbean link here. iTunes link here. And remember: to listen is human, to subscribe is divine.
Thus demonstrating that it is not possible to reach a ne plus ultra of nerdiness. (h/t Sarah Hoyt at Instapundit) Gondor’s own laws and rulers even recognized how ridiculous Aragorn’s claim was. Arvedui, the last king of Arnor before he drowned in a shipwreck, once claimed the throne of Gondor, but the Council of Gondor rightly… Read More Monarchial Legitimist Assails the Throne of Gondor

But in this day and age, we breeders deserve… Read More Actual Having a Baby vs. Having a Cat: A Riposte to The Oatmeal
As my wife belongs to SAG, we get SAG screeners. One of them is the new Bryan Cranston movie Trumbo, a biopic of one of the Hollywood Ten. I’ve decided that I’m not watching it. Yes, that’s right, I’m judging a movie before I’ve seen it, phillistine that I am. Here is why: How many Blacklist pietas Does… Read More Trumbo Should Not Be Seen By Anyone

I don’t like this sentiment, expressed in the article: Speaking of why he started the petition, Wright said: “In terms of record sales impact, Lemmy should have been offered an… Read More Does Every British Rock Star Have to Be a Knight?
So writes Jeffrey Carter at Points and Figures. (h/t: Insty) The policies that will solve for income inequality empower people. They don’t “take care” of people. People shouldn’t be warehoused and pushed aside or ignored from cradle to grave. People are assets. They aren’t liabilities to society.
