Political Contortionists at Work

Monday, November 20th, 2006

Consider eight major issues of recent years. See if you can spot any contorted logic within each statement.
1) Abortion should be allowed up until a fetus reaches the point where medical technology of 1973 can keep it alive outside of a mother’s body.
2) Racial discrimination by institutions is abhorrent but it is appropriate to use [...]

Nancy Pelosi’s Halo

Sunday, November 5th, 2006

What I can’t stand the most about the hard left is their certainty that their political opponents are awful people. They know what lies in the hearts and minds of their opponents - and it is moral bankruptcy and a lack of character. Nancy Pelosi makes this point in commenting on the upcoming election:
Pelosi cautioned [...]

Abortion Thought Experiment #1

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

Whether you are pro-life, pro-choice, or not sure what to think on abortion, here is a thought experiment for pondering the issue.
Imagine it is 100 years from now. By then it will surely be possible for babies to go from conception to birth without being inside of a woman. Imagine a high-tech, well-lit tank where [...]

Taking Care of The Mentally Ill, Consider Norway

Saturday, October 7th, 2006

In the US, in the name of civil rights, we dump mentally ill people on the streets. Here is an example:
… a colleague mentioned she was working on a story about Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies dumping a mentally ill man on skid row in downtown Los Angeles, where thousands of chronically ill people sleep [...]

On Vacation, Visiting Family

Wednesday, July 5th, 2006

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I have been on vacation and have had trouble getting my laptop on-line. Today I discovered that when sitting on my father’s front porch in southwestern Pennsylvania that I can connect to a neighbor’s wireless network. If I go in the house, the connection goes dead.
My father, a [...]

Step Away from the Robot

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

This sounds reasonable:
THE race is on to keep humans one step ahead of robots: an international team of scientists and academics is to publish a “code of ethics” for machines as they become more and more sophisticated.
And then this:
“Security, safety and sex are the big concerns,” said Henrik Christensen, a member of the Euron [...]

Slovakia’s Flat Tax Challenged

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

The Road to Euro Serfdom notes that “unfortunately the new government of Slovakia is poised to undo much of the good work done by its predecessor”. See here:
Fico (Likely Prime Minister) has already pledged to scrap one of the key pieces of legislation introduced by Dzurinda’s government – a 19 per cent flat tax – [...]

Glib Talk from John Edwards

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

And now for the most ridiculous comment by a Democratic presidential wannabe for this week (John Edwards):
Edwards said wiping out poverty would cost $15 billion to $20 billion a year …
Hmm, the US has spent $9 trillion over the last 40 years to end poverty - yet the poverty rate has not budged. See two [...]

Congress Gone Wild

Friday, June 23rd, 2006

We all suspect that individual members of Congress are spending money like drunken sailors. This has now been quantified by the National Taxpayers Union Foundation (via Ringo’s World):
… analysis shows that the average Representative supported five cents in federal spending reductions for every dollar of increases, while the Senate’s ratio was just two cents on [...]

One Bad Cat

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

At the bottom of the tree is a cat, and at the top is a bear! One bad-assed cat.
