A Ron Paul Halloween: 2012 Edition!

Monday, October 31st, 2011

Last Halloween 2010, YouTube user malmohuset created a Ron Paul Halloween video, featuring a sped-up carving of a Ron-Paul-resembling Jack-O-Lantern, dubbed over by classical music and a speech. Now, via Lew Rockwell’s Political Theatre, here is Bad Dream Pumpkin, dubbed over with a speech on the nightmarish state of the world and Golden State song [...]

Again, storm, power outages…

Monday, October 31st, 2011

As with Hurricane Irene last summer, here we had a nasty snowstorm and over a day of not only frequent flickering power outages, but this strange permanent brownout causing only lamp bulbs and alarm clocks to work. I took out the Kill-A-Watt to measure the voltage, which read ~95V (rather than the ~120V it’s supposed [...]

Here We Go: Hillary Beats Mainstream-Media-Promoted Republicans in New Mainstream-Media Poll

Friday, October 28th, 2011

From USA Today via Lew Rockwell’s Political Theatre: A new Time magazine poll shows Clinton easily defeating the major Republican candidates, were she somehow to become the 2012 Democratic nominee for president.

Wednesday, October 26th, 2011

Conservatives debate over that last one, as a brand-new form of federal taxation is as irreversible as the income tax (or even your closest toll highway/bridge). But if pizza-chain-style marketing is Cain’s focus, [...]

Herman Cain Adopts the “Pro-Life Democrat” Doublespeak – Are We In An Evil Parallel Universe??

Saturday, October 22nd, 2011

From Mediaite, quoting Herman Cain on abortion: No, it comes down to is, it’s not the government’s role — or anybody else’s role — to make that decision…so what I’m saying is, it ultimately gets down to a choice that that family or that mother has to make. Not me as president. Not some politician. [...]

  chaos     for the reinstitution of digital simplicity

First post in almost a month…

Saturday, October 22nd, 2011

…it’s been busy. Lots of stuff to do. Mainly me installing Slackware Linux, so I can take care of the Linux-related stuff for coredumpcentral.org. I still have more to do. As I’ve stated before, Slackware is the purest when it comes to maintaining control over your own physical property. I’ve mentioned frequently on this blog [...]

Public domain photos of my new betta, Vim

Sunday, October 2nd, 2011

Yesterday I got a new betta for my room to replace my old one, Chase. Due to a series of relevant events on the day I bought him, I named the betta Vim, after the text editor. When my sister gave me Chase, she gave me a can of pellets, and after I tried to [...]
