Paul Krugman, Martin Wolff and even Ben Freaking Stein (Half-time brilliant, half-time Bozo) have all weighed in on the stimulus package as not being audacious enough. Well, this is why they are probably right ... The nation is losing jobs so quickly that the government, racing to deal with the cris...

Nong Youhui is a Chinese boy who was born with cat eyes that glow in the dark and enable him to see like a cat in the night (possibly as a result of nuclear waste). He can allegedly see as well in the dark as you can in the light. Except -- WICKA-POW! -- now you can't see shit because your eyes are ...

So, Europe's warboiler is on again, and the liberals are eager to spill more blood in the hopes of transformative democracy or whatever...I hate liberals. I am one in a lot of respects, but I am not a Hobbit. Our first Bosnian adventure wasn't terrible, as in fact, our first Iraqi adventure ...

"Do we need to actually clarify that there's nothing like a psychic; what are we, fucking two?" "Oh, that's a good point. Let me think for a bit...oh, yeah, it's not, it's fucking shit!" Thanks, Ed... Thanks, BBC... Delectable, inflatable you...Inflatable You - Tim Minchin...

I dislike Rap. Hell, I hate it. I don't get it, and my Paddyass white brain doesn't find it musically or intellectually interesting. In this, I am sure I resemble my father trying to get his head around Bob Dylan and not getting it. That said, I accept that I am an old white guy and I don't like con...

The local furniture stores and car dealerships here at the Crossroads of Opportunity have signs up talking about spending your tax rebate here. Right. Good luck with that. I'll be able to buy some tire valve covers. There has been some back and forth at Defeatist central about the Stimulus...

The Catholic God, if the bastard exists, really doesn't deserve a lot of the people who have served him. Most of the time in this enlightened age, we focus on the bigoted dipshits, the deviants, the fanatics. But, every now and then, we need to face the fact that some people -- Mother Teresa, Ig...

It's really hard to be sued for being passive aggressive. And, people don't take well to honesty...something that I have to remind myself of occasionally. A couple of weeks ago, the quality guy and I interviewed an potential internal auditor. Guy was obviously over-qualified educationally --...

I don't know how to get that into a blog, but "JesusFuckingChrist, what the fuck is happening here?" Senator Lindsay-whining about the stimulus-Graham has come out in favor of nationalizing the banking system... As Maxine Waters said, "We have come a long way ."  Oh, an...
