Atlanta, GA April 25, 2022 Last week, another brick fell from the wall. For twenty-four months they’d been mortared into place, two weeks at a time: shelter-in-place, social distance, stay “essential”, swab your nose, work from home, wear a mask, receive a shot, inject another one, get a booster, and follow “the science”. The masons […]
Atlanta, GA April 4, 2022 A couple months ago, we noted the tendency of insufferable do-gooders and self-righteous busybodies to get everything wrong, magnify or invent problems, and then do everything in their power to make them worse. By doing so, they increase their sense of self-worth…and can inflate their dollars of financial worth…by diverting […]
Atlanta, GA March 26, 2020 Since at least the Enlightenment, and perhaps back to Bacon, the wolf of politics has disguised itself as a sheep of science. It fleeces its putative shepherds by cloaking its commands in the wool of “Reason”. After the French Revolution, the exaltation of the “expert” replaced the preeminence of the […]
Atlanta, GA March 20, 2022 Well, I guess we’re never getting that hour back. Even when government does the right thing, it does the wrong thing. Last week, Senate voted to remove the ridiculous ritual of adjusting clocks. But it did so by keeping the wrong time. Starting next year….assuming the House and president agree […]
Atlanta, GA March 12, 2022 “When goods don’t cross borders, soldiers will.” – attributed to Frédéric Bastiat. Strange as it sounds, there’s a move afoot to nominate Vladimir Putin for a Nobel Prize. Not for peace. But for medicine. After two years of nonsensical and tyrannical tactics to conquer Covid by controlling us, all it […]
Atlanta, GA March 5, 2022 Yesterday we trod the long road from the inception of Ukraine a couple thousand years ago to its most recent invasion last week. Today, as we try to understand what’s happening now, we take comfort knowing one thing for sure: we can’t. And that the closer we look, the farther […]
Atlanta, GA February 16, 2022 Like a magnate who’s never happy if another mogul has more, LeBron James always looks as if he doesn’t get the respect he thinks he deserves. Perhaps it’s petulance. Maybe it’s pride. Or potentially it’s true. But I’ve always thought, regardless his accomplishments, that LeBron desperately wants his own “flu […]
Atlanta, GA February 10, 2022 Is it finally happening? Are these the weeks…like the first stones from the Berlin Wall…that the Covid Regime began to crumble? It started when Canadian truckers started chiseling the concrete. As cracks formed and the mortar gave way, other drivers hopped in their cabs, started their engines, and plowed through. […]
Atlanta, GA February 4, 2022 Time has no beginning and history has no bound And to this verdant country they came from all around They sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forest tall Built the mines, the mills, and the factories for the good of us all. – Gordon Lightfoot, “Canadian Railroad Trilogy” […]
Atlanta, GA January 23, 2022 I think I understand how Christians felt when in 1303 the French king imprisoned a beleaguered pope, hand-picked an obsequious successor, and precipitated a seven-decade papal encampment in Avignon on the Rhône. A subsequent schism created rival “popes” based in Rome and Avignon, with a third claimant coming from Pisa […]
