Posted on February 04, 2011
Timothy Geithner, Ben Bernake, and the frauds at the Mercatus Center often claim that the bailouts only cost $700 billion - but that the bailouts were paid back. Some even claim that taxpayers made a profit from the bailouts. Those statements are lies...

Great Post About the Modern American Man

Posted on February 01, 2011
I had been meaning to write a polemic on the average American male, until this un-toppable post appeared. A lot has been written on how awful 21st-century American women are, and really, fair points. American women, you are a bunch of fat, vapid, spoiled, selfish, lazy, bitchy, charmless whores...

Posted on January 31, 2011
Arturo Sandoval was in town for a concert, and his producer stopped at Nordstrom for some grooming supplies. He was halfway down the block when he heard a familiar sound. Someone was playing "Moon River" on his trumpet. He turned around, seeing an eleven-year-old boy playing on a used trumpt...

The Riddle of Will

Posted on January 29, 2011
In my favorite park, there is a large set of stairs leading up a mountain formation. I hike up regularly, but never sprint this section of the park. Yesterday - without any planning or foresight - I decided to sprint the hill. At first the run was easy...

Go Start a Fight

Posted on January 28, 2011
By this time next week, each guy on the Assault Committee has to pick a fight where he won't come out a hero. And not in fight club. This is harder than it sounds. A man on the street will do anything not to fight. Although "understood" as a work of nihilism, Fight Club is a book about revolution...

Stewart Baker and the Sissified Right

Posted on January 25, 2011

Why the Old Hate the Young

Posted on January 24, 2011
In 1712 or thereabouts, a slave owner gave a speech so memorable that it was transcribed and named after him. The "William Lynch Speech" instructs slave owners on the control of slaves. It worked well in 1712, and many African American Studies scholars believe its principles apply today...

Muscle Meals: Crock Pot Chicken

Posted on January 22, 2011
I've eaten hundreds of rotisserie chickens over the years. None are as delicious as the chicken made in my crock pot. (Thanks to commenter Rob for the idea.) It was the moistest chicken I've ever had. The meat was so tender that the chicken split in half when I went to lift the chicken from the crock pot...

This is America

Posted on January 21, 2011
Terrorism isn't something that can always be prevented, and thus the answer to terrorism is often, "Do nothing." Yet doing nothing requires restraint and wisdom. As we live in the United States, we'd be lucky to have either. As we live in the United States, we get neither...

The Problem with Narcissists...

Posted on January 21, 2011
...is that they (we?) think everyone else is a narcissist. The problem isn't me. It's everyone else. Consider this example: Imagine you enter a building and get on an elevator bound for the tenth floor. And someone else gets in and presses the button for the second floor...

What a Visionary Looks Like

Posted on January 17, 2011
This performance was in 1992 - long before the rest of the world had caught up: On 3 October 1992, O'Connor appeared on Saturday Night Live as a musical guest.

Paul Mirengoff Humiliates Himself and Akin Gump

Posted on January 15, 2011
When Bob Ambrogi reported that Akin Gump apologized for some moronic comments a partner made on his personal blog, I figured Akin Gump was being uptight. Then I read Paul Mirengoff's post. What an idiot. Here's what he wrote: As for the "ugly," I'm afraid I must cite the opening "prayer" by Native American Carlos Gonzales...

The Sad Side of Self-Esteem

Posted on January 13, 2011
Narcissism is commonly thought of as charming and manipulative conduct. When people hear, "narccisist," they think, "evil." Yet those conceptions are flaw. A narcissist lacks a sense of self. There is no capital-I in narcissist. There is only you. Without a you to validate a narcissist, he doesn't exist...

How Much is Your Self-Esteem Worth?

Posted on January 13, 2011
Michael Wallerstein, an out-of-work lawyer with over $250,000 in debt, was profiled by the New York Times. (Hat tip.) He, like many other lawyers, has no job prospects. Since student loan debt is non-dischargeable in bankruptcy, Wallerstein will have that debt forver...

The Rise of the New Independent Male

The Alpha Files: Gavin Newsom

Posted on January 10, 2011
It's now former San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom, as Newsom heads to Sacramento to become Lieutenant Governor.
