Global Cooling

Heresy against the Goracle! Apparently, climate tracking stations are reporting the fastest global temperature change ever recorded in 2007–the average temperature of the earth DROPPED about 3/4 of a degree Celcius. This explains some of the “must be global warming” posts I’ve made, like the snowfall in Baghdad earlier this year. I’ve had trouble find …

William F. Buckley, Jr.

The venerable Mr. Buckley passed away today at the age of 82. I was actually largely unaware of his work until today–which I find quite unfortunate, as it appears the Mr. Buckley and I agreed on a great many things.Not the least of which being that Gore Vidal should have been socked “in the goddamned …

Here’s a major reason why: Libertarian Party Reiterates its call for Iraq Withdrawal Quick questions: “Democracy cannot come from the barrel of a gun…” Remind me, how did we end our status as colonies of Great Britain?

The city council of Berkeley recently passed a resolution naming the United States Marine Corps “unwanted invaders” (which, I believe, constitutes an act of secession), and granting a weekly parking spot and exemption from noise permits for anti-military protesters. Yesterday, three persons (alleged in the article to be “Code Pink,” but not wearing normal Code …
