The Wall of Omerta’ continues to crumble… this time over at the Wall Street Journal. On the one hand, I’m glad to see the WSJ doing this now, but on the other I have to ask… was none of this information available to the WSJ last year?
Normalizing $6 Trillion budgets… what could go wrong?
Joe Biden has proposed a $6 Trillion budget for next year… it’ll wind up being more than 6T, but let’s take him at his word for the purposes of this discussion. That’s a lot of money, Joe! But don’t worry you guys, Ole Joe promises that our deficit will “only” be $1.8 Trillion this year,… Continue reading Normalizing $6 Trillion budgets… what could go wrong?
On the Lab Leak Theory
To be clear, I’m more inclined to believe that if COVID leaked from a lab in Wuhan, as now seems increasingly likely, it was an accident and not an intentional release of a bioweapon. However, given their performance thus far, the more the experts and the Democrats and Big Blue Tech rail against, and heap… Continue reading On the Lab Leak Theory
Smokey and the Bandit: Or how I learned to love the Red State/Blue State divide
Believe it or not, there was a time when Hollywood actually cared about getting Red State Americans from flyover country into theaters and worked hard to make movies that treated them with dignity and respect. Yeah I know… but it’s true! Here in 2021 you cannot find a redneck Southern man in a Hollywood offering… Continue reading Smokey and the Bandit: Or how I learned to love the Red State/Blue State divide
What’s the Matter with New York?
There’s a well-known book, often cited in Progressive circles, called WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH KANSAS? by Thomas Frank that tries to explain why rural folks vote for the GOP, without coming right out and calling them stupid for doing so. I’m simplifying a bit, but the crux of the argument the book makes is that… Continue reading What’s the Matter with New York?
A serious question for Dr. Fauci
It’s pretty clear to anyone who can read a data set that we have achieved herd immunity. Cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are crashing and it’s becoming increasingly clear, even to the Wuhan Karens, that this pandemic is over. Which raises an important question that I would love to ask Dr. Fauci. Fauci has routinely claimed… Continue reading A serious question for Dr. Fauci
Try not to laugh, but…
The Klingon Mine ship Kharg “mysteriously” exploded and sank today… …Sorry, I meant to say Iranian, but “Kharg” definitely sounds like a Klingon curse word… Anyway, carry on, and try your best not to giggle uncontrollably at the misfortune of the Iranian “Navy.”
Are we under attack?
So we had a cyber attack that shut down a major oil pipeline, which caused major shortages and long term prices increases. And now we’ve had one on a large meat-packing plant (admittedly in Australia, not the US) which will, presumably, cause similar issues with the Global meat supply chain. So that’s two attacks on… Continue reading Are we under attack?
RIP BJ Thomas
One of the best sequences in one of the greatest movies ever made.
How Streaming is changing the nature of movies
Actually there are a lot of answers to this question but I want to bring up one specific answer because an insane number jumped out at me this morning. For a hundred years, the economics of Theater-going required that theaters be able to schedule enough showings during a business day to make showing the movie… Continue reading How Streaming is changing the nature of movies
