War Zombies

My favorite computer  game is “Civilization,” a world-building simulation game that starts you off as a wandering band of nomads and ends with you being the first civilization to build a starship.

Cleaning the Bathroom with the Confederate Flag

The vast majority of customers come into my store on a mission to complete a project.  A lot of these folks are excited by their tasks and it’s quite inspiring!  It makes me wish I had more home improvement projects of my own to work on.  I was even tempted the other day to buy […]

You can’t have that both ways. Either they control everything, […]

So the Stimulus Plan Didn’t Create Any Jobs

Republicans and the common sense bloggers claim that the stimulus package was a failure and did not create jobs. The CBO, the non-partisan congressional watchdog, says otherwise. Jobs

If The Republican Debates Were Like Rap Battles

They’d be something more like this… I’m just testing to make sure my video capture equipment is still working since I installed my new A/V system. It still works. So does my tendency to make really crude, adolescent humor videos. Ooo!  Sign me up for those Austrian economics courses!  Anita them!
