I cannot get away from this crap.  Sure, it just sits there on the right, but why am I being pressed non-stop to subscribe to these nimrods?  I have no desire to hear whatever it is they say.  Personally, I think it’s their moronic auto-suggestion thing converging on a trivial solution.  They couldn’t be this stupid, could they?

Best Spam Ever

Somebody has taken blog comment spam to the next level.  Somehow, this comment made it past Akismet (the Cloverfield monster of blog spam defenders):

Whenever I read one of your posts, my balls get even bigger.

Naturally, the comment was accompanied by a link to a commercial site, in this case a page on the highly suspect site “Evaporative Humidifier Reviews“, which I am going to simply link here and wish the guy good luck.  If all spam were this funny, the web would be a different place.  I hope you get lot of hits, dude.

Shame, GOP Surrendering Palin

[pullquote]The MSM is turning on Obama not because they ran out of liberal whitewash.[/pullquote]I’m not buying the MSM’s pivot on Obama.  They may be genuinely upset at his incomprehensible (or dishonest) statements lately, but they are taking him to task not because he is so obviously lying, and not because they ran out of liberal whitewash.  The MSM is turning on Obama because the GOP failed to defend Sarah Palin.

They have always known that Obama is a liar, and they have always been willing to do whatever it takes to support him.  Lie, cheat, steal, kill, throw an election–there’s an argument that each of these has been accomplished on the road to BarryTown.  So their sudden criticism is not squeamishness about what needs to be done–they are fearless about … Continue reading →

Vision for future structure of this blog:
“Front: page looks much like it does now, but with only “chops” or extracts, functioning more like an index.  Allows greater number of posts to be linked on the default landing page.  Retain two/three column format.

Detail pages should absorb selected sidebar content into an “inline sidebar”, like an extended pullquote, or a “resource box”.  Wipe out actual css sidebars (retain only on front/index) and make content wider to increase info density without creating a wall of text.  Inline sidebars and other methods will help manage text flow.

Lawrence O'Donnell, Herman Cain, and the White Hippie Apocalypse

[pullquote]blackness is not a scale on which I measure a Presidential candidate[/pullquote]Everybody who cares has seen or heard clips of MSNBC anchor and self-described socialist Lawrence O’Donnell engaging GOP hopeful Herman Cain in a series of racially-motivated attack questions, the point of which seems to be that Herman Cain is not authentically black, didn’t march at Selma, what-have-you.  I’m not going to lecture either of these men on how to be black, as that is of no concern to me; blackness is not a scale on which I measure a Presidential candidate, but integrity is.

POLICY BOARD SHIFT

Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta this week moved to replace key members of the Defense Policy Board, the advisory group of former officials that serves as a brain trust.

“He made it more ‘Democratic,’” one board member quipped about the changes.

Liberals added to the board include former Clinton administration Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, former Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick, retired Marine Corps Gen. James Cartwright and Jane Harman, a former Democratic congresswoman from California. Also added: former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead.

Most notable among the new members is Ms. Gorelick, who was notorious for erecting the so-called bureaucratic “wall” blocking law enforcement and intelligence agencies from cooperating closely before the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The … Continue reading →

Inequality would exist in a society with equal incomes « Nation of Beancounters

Interesting:

To examine how much inequality you would get even in a perfectly equal society, I whipped up a simple Python script to compute wealth distribution in a society where every person works for the exact same salary (this should be enough equality for anybody, yes?) of which he saves the exact same amount. For a 5% annual interest rate, the five wealth quintiles controlled 2, 7, 15, 28, and 47 percent of total wealth, respectively. For 10%, these quintiles controlled 0, 4, 10, 25 and 60 percent of wealth.

It’s incredible but now that I think of it, I can’t recall any inequality studies adjusting for age.

[pullquote]this President toys with civil war[/pullquote]If you have ever wondered just what a “Community Organizer” actually does, look no further than this evening’s coverage of unemployed masses now demanding the livelihoods, the liberties, and the very lives of their fellow Americans.  No President has ever been more divisive.  Abraham Lincoln led us into war to abolish slavery–the divisions were already there and in the end, he united us.  This President toys with civil war as an acceptable collateral risk inherent in his program, and if you are reading this, odds are he is not on your side.  If you are reading this, odds are he has already lumped you in as an enemy.
