Alrighty. Making progress. Added a hit counter and that tell-a-friend thing. It is kinda ugly (although I appreciate the service Bravenet), so I am not sure if it will last. If I can figure out how to modify the colors, I will. I will keep you posted.
The folks at The Libertarian
The folks at The Libertarian Samizdata express some of my sentiments on the Euro far more succinctly that I have… All I managed to muster is I thought it was dumb and ugly. They agree, but they state it much more eloquently.
Everyone is talking about Cornell
Everyone is talking about Cornell West and the Harvard Flap. CheckInstapundit, check the Economist, check all the other blogs. I refuse to talk about it. My stance is, and will be, that Cornell West is a Bleeding Idiot and should be ignored. Of course, by talking about him I have failed to follow my own advice.
National Review Online documents the
National Review Online documents the death of the Kyoto Treaty now that Japan has deep-sixed it. In other treaty news, read this little story about the real losers in 2001, International Treaties. Both articles were written by Nick Schulz, editor of techcentralstation.com. In the aforementioned techcentralstation is this little piece about the dwindling popularity of the Kyoto Treaty. Ding dong, the witch is dead.
“The world does not just
“The world does not just disappear because you close your eyes, does it?” – Leonard Shelby, Memento
I just loved this quote, from what I think is just a great movie. At any rate, we will have a Leonard Shelby award here at the Curmudgeon’s Corner. The award will be given when most appropriate (this will not be a daily, weekly, or monthly award) to the person who does his/her best to deny truths and objective reality….
A snide and obnoxious op-ed
A snide and obnoxious op-ed in the L.A. Times by one Norah Vincent self-described ‘senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a think tank set up after Sept. 11 to study terrorism.’ At any rate, this is merely a one-page dossier of all the bile spewed about Giuliani by the left-wing kooks, union thugs, and race-baiters. No deep thought is required, she just references Abner Louima, and references both Adolf Hitler and Mussolini. Clever, hunh? She also manages to tar Bush. Worth a read, and was better than my treadmill at getting my blood flowing.
For those of you who
For those of you who live underneath a rock, a large corporation named Enron has failed. Obviously, it is imperative that 100 people who have no idea how to run a business, and probably are as large as any reason as to why many businesses fail, must hold hearings to find out why it has failed. The 100 people in question are the United States Senate, where entrepeneurial giants like my own Senators, Jay Rockefeller and Robert C. Byrd, can grill Enron execs about their business practices. I am sure there will be no partisan bickering about this either. Why do I say this? Because Joe Lieberman has said so, and he is a man of his word. At least he was, until he became a vice-presidential candidate. Then he became a left-wing lackey and Gore hack. But, we do have his word.
This, mind you, will be just a part of the strategy the Democrats will employ over the next 6 month period while working up towards a crescendo before the midterm elections. They know that they can not attack Bush head on, as his popularity is hovering in the mid 80’s, so expect them to try the death of a thousand cuts approach. The other day there were the religious-right/taliban rumors, now we have Enron, and we will see little things like this every day.
Mind you, I have no problem into shady business practices at Enron. I just do not feel that the Senate is equipped to find them as there is precisely one economist in the Senate.
