What would the ideal conservative country look like? What would daily life entail? What taxes would be levied, what kind of wages would people earn, and what would the quality of life be like?

How would people get along without Mother Government intervening?

Simple. It would get along just fine. In fact, it would do great.

According to the CDC, gathering numbers from the 36 states (and the District of Columbia) that report abortions by race, 203,991 black people died from abortion in 2005, compared to 198,385 combined who died from heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide, and chronic respiratory diseases.

In other words, abortion is doing the job that genocidal, black-hating racists want done, except it’s legal and it’s with the permissions of the mothers.

College isn’t meant for everybody, but many people today act like it is. It’s part of our national past-time; college is portrayed in TV and movies as the next inevitable step after high school on everyone’s journey to adulthood. It’s a place for people to meet their future spouses, to make lifelong friends, for nerds to find their identity.

Ultimately, college is like anything else: right for some people, wrong for others. Right for people who know what they want to do and need a degree to do it; wrong for just about everyone else.

A recent article in Guardian.co.uk laid out an interesting take on much of the psychology behind some feminine behaviors that otherwise may look a little strange. Since I’ll use any old excuse to post a picture of Dayana Mendoza, this seems like as good a time as any to post a few of my own reflections.

Learning about Columbus today, some people think that many Europeans in the late 1400s believed that the world was flat, making Columbus – believing the world was round – the wise one. As it turns out, navigation at the time depended on looking at stars and understanding the curvature of the earth, so the earth being round was common knowledge. Even the ancient Greeks knew that the earth is round.

Rush Limbaugh and partner(s) are trying to buy the St. Louis Rams, so of course a lot of liberals are angry that Limbaugh’s on a crusade to bring back slavery. After all, if you’ve never listened to The Rush Limbaugh Show, you can assume all sorts of things about him that aren’t true.

One of the things (among many) that bugs me about liberalism is that many of the essential arguments liberals make are rooted in poor or disempowering assumptions. So I thought I’d go through some of these assumptions to try and explain this.

Did Obama win the Nobel Prize for literature?

Oh, I guess they’re just giving out Peace Prizes for fiction now.

When even CNN is saying that the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Barack Obama “not for substantive accomplishments,” you know something’s up.

In this case, it’s the increasing irrelevance of the Nobel Peace Prize…

Hey, ladies. Do you find Spartacus attractive?
According to an article in the Daily Mail, that kind of guy is exactly who was considered attractive in the 1950s – before the popularity of “the pill” made women on the pill more interested in girly-men. This is because “the pill” suppresses the hormones in women that make them attract to masculine men for those few days.
During the few days each month when women are fertile – around the time of ovulation – they tend to prefer masculine features and men …

Part of me feels like it’s actually a good thing when Barack Obama does silly unpresidential things like fill out NCAA brackets (harmless, sure, but even Coach K said he should have better things to do) and go on Jay Leno (”I understand you have a new piece of legislation to promote…”). Two good things about this: people get turned off by overexposure, for one. And when it comes to much of what Obama does, I’d rather have him filling in his NFL Fantasy Roster than trying …
