There are some things in this life I find it easy to believe.....

There are some things in this life I find very easy to believe, like the sky is blue because of light reflected off the water from the ocean, that cats like to eat fish, that my car when it does not get enough oil will not drive as well as it could or that Nixon liked to count Jews at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

It is not even hard to believe that Mick Huckabee said of Jesus that, "HE CAME TO ME IN A VISION AT THE HOAGIE HUT, AND SAID THAT IF HE HAD, LOOKED LIKE ME, HE COULDN'T HAVE FIT ON THE CROSS, AND THERE NEVER, WOULDA' BEEN CHRISTIANITY." Even though this is clearly satire.

Or that the God Elohim is living on another planet and wants me to become a god and populate the solar system like Joe Smith said he would.

There are some things I find harder to believe, like that George W. Bush enjoyed blowing up frogs with firecrackers as a young boy.

Which, if true, it only confirms every long suspected fear of every self-respecting but misguided liberal. And more than that, confirms that the conservative "there is no King greater than Jesus" jihadi rage is a real phenomena.

The point here is I do not really care what you believe as long as you do not take it out on me or on the Constitution. Which, I am guessing after all the rest of this, is well worth a read.

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici...

More of This, Please

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba...
