I don’t think so, but I found this article, entitled “Will Washington’s Failures Lead To Second American Revolution?,” on the Internet today. The article is filled with anecdotal evidence that we may be heading towards a future that only a new American Revolution can correct: The Wall Street Journal’s steadfast Dorothy Rabinowitz wrote that Barack [...]

Found this on the web today. It is an exchange between Pat Buchanan and Zbigniew Brzezinski on the Morning Joe program on MSNBC. Buchanan is trying to articulate a point about the complicated political atmosphere in America today, and Brzezinski credits this to a return of a ‘national malaise’ to American politics. The Old Malaise [...]

This just in: they have found King Arthur’s Round Table. Silly me. I had always thought that it was just a myth, but world-renowned King Arthur expert Chris Gidlow, who’s written a book entitled The Reign of Arthur, said: “The first accounts of the Round Table show that it was nothing like a dining table [...]

Today, I found this article, entitled “12 dead in S.Korea bus plunge,” on the web. As you can see from the headline, it is the story of 12 people who have been killed in a ‘bus plunge’ in South Korea. It is a sad story, but it may herald the return of the ‘bus plunge’ [...]

Found this today. At its upfront presentation in New York on Wednesday, CBS announced “$#*!” My Dad Says,” a new comedy based on the popular Twitter feed “Shit My Dad Says.” I have no problem with it other than it being incredibly stupid way to turn off advertisers. Thought you’d want to know.

This week, the news has been filled with reports of the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano. Now, there’s this image of the eruption from space.

Apparently Christopher Hitchens wants someone to arrest the Pope. Fair enough, but the Washington Post found someone to confound the question: “A pope can voluntarily resign, but it’s interesting… Who would take his resignation?” They may be right, but a determined party can make it difficult for him. My church history says that if a [...]

So what will the Republicans do after they lose the health care vote this weekend, as it now seems inevitable they will? It seems one option is to vent their anger by going after whoever offered a job to Joe Sestak in order to get him to drop his challenge to Arlen Specter. The American [...]

I suppose I ought to be more careful when I write, because, although I started writing this blog for the purpose of rehabilitating my stroke-ridden mind (and for no other purpose, really), people actually read things on the web. Yesterday, I posted an article on Alan Reynolds‘s column in IBD, and (to my great surprise) [...]

I read Investors Business Daily (IBD) daily because it satisfies me that their system works more perfectly than any I have ever found for the single purpose of picking stocks. That’s not to say that it works perfectly 100% of the time. Nor is it to say that other people’s systems are not equally, and [...]
