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 March 4, 2022 “The Ukraine is a very fertile country, but by no means agreeable.” – Madame de Staël Americans who two months ago didn’t know Ukraine from a ukulele have been manipulated into posting blue and gold profile pictures, insisting upon “no-fly zones”, and unequivocally condemning anyone who questions what might be happening […]
Ketchum, ID February 25, 2022 Given what it attempted on Earth, it’s no surprise that the Soviet Union would have a natural interest in a “Red” planet. After launching Sputnik in 1957, the Soviets sent several forays toward Mars. None were successful. But the effort spurred others, including the NASA Mariner 3 expedition, which also […]
Hailey, ID February 23, 2022 Outside it’s cold, and quiet. A fresh layer of soft snow fell overnight. Under a clear sky, a cloak of angelic white covers the idyllic terrain. I half expect a team of Clydesdales to prance across this pristine scene. It’s early in Idaho. As the sun rises, the son’s still […]
February 22, 2022Hailey, ID It’s been eleven years and one month since numerologists had such a field day. Not since January 11, 2011 has a date been so unanimous in its numbers. Yet today is even more momentous. After all, how often does 2/22/22 fall on a Twos-day? It’s a quirky occasion. For such a unique event, […]
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. […]
