We all see a lot of those “political leanings” quizzes that supposedly tell you about your political leanings - on Facebook, on Myspace, or just on random pages you Googled. Supposedly, these tests are unbiased, but Quantum theory tells us that what we observe, we inherently change. So I’m going to take my […]
Case Study Monday, ladies and gentlemen: an eastern European country that runs the Flat Tax! I always wondered what it would be like to just try these wacky conservative economic ideas on countries in real-life; turns out Estonia has been running the Flat Tax for a while.
Estonia, formerly of the Soviet Union, runs […]
Today I’m going to be predictable and make fun of liberals. I wouldn’t have to turn into Mr. Predictable Conservative blogger if the liberals weren’t so doggone ridiculous about how they’ve handled the California wildfires.
How so? Let me count the ways.
Harry Reid is blaming global warming, naturally. The evidence against that argument? Someone set the […]
There are a couple of good things about the California wildfires. First, the media is forced to cover a large news story with actual relevance that has virtually no bipartisan angles. A million people in Southern California are evacuating their homes - isn’t that a bigger story than the “four miners” incident that saw almost […]
In case you missed the Republican debate last night, don’t read the news reports about it, and about “blah blah Hillary.” here are my thoughts on how each candidate did:
Rudy Giuliani: C-
Rudy’s a little too sharp to ever tank a debate, but he did little last night to appeal to the core conservatives who […]
I’ve wrapped up my Low-Information Diet for this week. If you haven’t been keeping track, the Low Information Diet means cutting back on media influence, notably TV and internet news.
This means I haven’t watched any Fox News, CNN, MSNBC - even no Colbert Report. And I typed “CNN.com” into my browser several times before catching […]
I’d say the Presidential race is “heating up,” but I’ve been boycotting all forms of news this week so I really have no idea what’s going on. I’m pretty sure there’s still a Presidential race going on, though.
Since I’m always asking people what their criteria are for voting for President (or, at least, it’s something […]
Note: This is Day 2 of Dan’s Low-Information Diet week.
So yesterday was my first day of plugging out from the world of news. Am I missing anything? My guess is no, since no one I’ve talked to has brought up anything in the news. Anything important enough for me to pay attention to would somehow […]
This isn’t my usual post, but I have to write it to let you know that I’m undertaking a little experiment. Since I’m always making fun of TV news, but I actually still watch it, it’s time to put my money where my mouth is.
In Tim Ferriss’ book The 4-Hour Workweek, he talks about a […]
Ann Coulter’s latest controversial comments, which will probably help her career if anything, took place on CNBC’s “The Big Idea” with Donny Deutsch, which sounds interestingly similar to “douche.”
Somehow, Ann and Donny got into a discussion about religion, at which it was pointed out that Deutsch is a Jew. As far as I’ve seen, […]
