By MamaLiberty So many lies, wrongs and evil. “Democracy” – how to spread and reinforce all of them. Why do so many societies in the world prefer to live with the lies, wrongs and evil of theft, tyranny, murder, war, … Continue reading →

Americans spend a lot, and the government tracks

via The Price of Liberty by TPOL-Nathan on Tue, 10 Jan 2017 15:06:20 GMT

By Nathan Barton At HowMuch.com there is a neat chart which shows what Americans have spent on various things for the last 70 years. It is, no surprise, very enlightening – for several reasons. First off, the data comes from … Continue reading →

via The Ultimate Answer to Kings by Joel on Tue, 10 Jan 2017 15:02:29 GMT

Because I’d like to nominate this one. A Discomfiting Question: Was The Chicago Torture Case Racism? Where to even start? A) Duh. Yes. If I kidnap you and torture you for hours while loudly going on about how much I … Continue reading →

I try not to be a grammar and spelling nazi

via The Ultimate Answer to Kings by Joel on Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:41:18 GMT

I really do. But I’m a writer, and also an editor, so of course I am. A person mistaking the difference between loose and lose can cause me to loose my shit in public. If they also don’t know the … Continue reading →

via The Ultimate Answer to Kings by Joel on Mon, 09 Jan 2017 14:12:14 GMT

Okay, the stick flashlight is in a handy drawer, but the headlight has earned a more honorable place on the wall. Came down the ladder at quarter after six this morning, tried to put some water on for coffee and … Continue reading →

via The Price of Liberty by TPOL-Nathan on Mon, 09 Jan 2017 10:31:24 GMT

By Nathan Barton We all know the saying, “No good deed goes unpunished.” It was the (unofficial) motto of several Engineer units with which I served or knew well. Always a bunch of recent examples, but here is one that … Continue reading →

Love this coat.

via The Ultimate Answer to Kings by Joel on Sun, 08 Jan 2017 21:36:57 GMT

I always wanted a Carhartt coat, even when I didn’t live in the boonies where it would pay to…well, pay the extra and actually get one. I’ve worn through two canvas coats since I got here – granted one came … Continue reading →

Sometimes I feared I was the only one who noticed these

via The Ultimate Answer to Kings by Joel on Sun, 08 Jan 2017 20:42:42 GMT

And found them not merely annoyingly condescending, but badly done. And I would have expected ‘badly done’ to be a rare description of a hollywood-produced short video. That’s where all the professional talent is, right? I mean, I used to … Continue reading →

Milestones are for celebrating

via The Ultimate Answer to Kings by Joel on Sun, 08 Jan 2017 16:47:12 GMT

…and this morning the bedroom in Landlady’s Meadow House had the floor and walls finished to an officially sufficient degree that we could bring the boxes down from the barn and assemble the permanent bed! And that’s all the packaging, … Continue reading →

The Daily Hate?

via The Price of Liberty by TPOL-Nathan on Sun, 08 Jan 2017 12:57:08 GMT

By Nathan Barton I believe that the novel 1984 was where I first encountered the bizarre progressive-socialist-liberal custom of “the Daily Hate.” A very public (yet restricted) version, significantly perverted, of the Biblical idea of “confess your sins one to … Continue reading →

And were back.

via The Ultimate Answer to Kings by Joel on Sat, 07 Jan 2017 14:17:25 GMT

I wonder, if Trump is president long enough, whether we’ll finally learn what he believes (other than “trump for prez”) and what he plans to actually do. For a guy who’s not a politician, he has made promises on both … Continue reading →

Little Bear was such a good boy for the whole trip

via The Ultimate Answer to Kings by Joel on Sat, 07 Jan 2017 04:30:15 GMT

He was cheerful and friendly with Dharma, didn’t whine even when he was uncomfortable at sleeping in a strange place, went along with the program without being a drama queen, but when he got back to the Lair… He ran … Continue reading →

Wow. I guess I hadnt noticed how ubiquitous smartphones had become

via The Ultimate Answer to Kings by Joel on Fri, 06 Jan 2017 19:24:54 GMT

I mean, sure, I’ve noticed that they’re sufficiently widespread that only certain oddballs don’t own them. I’d even noticed that some of those oddballs seem to take a perverse pride in not owning them. It has not escaped my notice … Continue reading →

EnnuiExistential AngstWill to LiveSlipping

via The Ultimate Answer to Kings by Joel on Fri, 06 Jan 2017 16:04:56 GMT

Not really. I’ve enjoyed my visit very much, really. I had pho for supper last night, for the first time in a decade and a half. That was pleasant. But I’m ready to go back to my grubby, quiet gulch. … Continue reading →

Huh. Well, thats an argument for building a new bedroom

via The Ultimate Answer to Kings by Joel on Fri, 06 Jan 2017 12:59:23 GMT

I just got a solid eight hours of sleep. And it only took eight hours to do it. Further, it’s the second time this week that it’s happened. I was so surprised the first time, I found a second clock … Continue reading →

OH NO!! Not the ___________!

via The Zelman Partisans by Sheila Stokes-Begley on Fri, 06 Jan 2017 08:29:03 GMT

Yeah, I’ll come back to the ___________! A couple of stories caught my eye the other day and got me to thinking. It happens. So while I was kind of digging around seeing where I wanted to go with this, I ran across some other interesting things to share with you. One of the things … Continue reading →

Foreign Dispatch #5: Insufficiently Weird

via The Ultimate Answer to Kings by Joel on Thu, 05 Jan 2017 15:12:38 GMT

The city currently under study is said to be an island of correct-thinking progressives in a sea of toothless rednecks, but we have an idea that the participants’ hearts aren’t really in it. It does contain a university district, and … Continue reading →
