M. Savage: Bush Nationalizes Banks, Freddie/Fannie Bailout

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 05:24:50 GMT

clipped by: blueridge
clipper's remarks: "Bush is a fiscal socialist", and says McCain is no better, and certainly not Obama. The bail-out of Freddie and Fannie DOUBLED the national debt over the weekend. The economy is in big trouble.

He's right, America is clearly socialist (and has been since FDR), while republicans think Bush is conservative, and McCain will not change that either.

essay on creationism vs evolution

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:39:55 GMT

clipped by: kroqben
clipper's remarks: long essay talking about how many who defend evolutionary theory need to rethink their approach because often their responses to creationists are inflammatory (thus hundering honest open debate) and/or do not reflect actual science. the essay deals specifically with the origin of life, and is a response to a couple other essys/blogs that are linked to.

What critics of critics of neo-creationists get wrong: a reply to Gordy Slack

My take: It is high time all of these statements be discarded or highly modified. They are basically lazy, all-too-easy responses relying on hair-splitting technicalities or nearly philosophical assertions of the “even if the creationists were empirically correct on this point, which they aren’t but I’m too busy to back it up right now, it wouldn’t matter” variety. And the worst part is that these sorts of statements mis-describe the actual state of the science among the people who work in the field. It is simply not true that we, the scientific community, know almost nothing about the OOL (what an individual who spent a career working on fossils or fruit flies or speciation might know personally is a different question).

I embrace disagreement. I embrace debate. I actually embrace realizing I was wrong. Better to realize it than continuing to go on falsely thinking I’m right.

I want to be very clear. I am not suggesting that people should agree with other or that they even have to be friendly towards each other. But you must treat others who are on the site with respect and civility if you want to remain on it. Otherwise, I will deactivate your account.

Why Did Ron Paul Get More Campaign Contributions From The Military Than McCain

If McCain is the “Military” Candidate, Why Did Ron Paul, Who Wants to Pull Out of Iraq, Get More Campaign Contributions from the Military?

Through all this talk about whether McCain or Obama is a better candidate on foreign policy we’ve forgotten a key piece of information.

McCain thinks Bush was right about Iraq. Obama thinks he was wrong about Iraq. So who’s the tie-breaker? How about Military voters?

From the AirForceTimes:

During the reporting period, Paul — a former Air Force surgeon who broke with his party to vote against the Iraq war — received the most military contributions, with $201,271.

That’s significantly more than the presumptive Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain from Arizona, who received $132,133 from military donors, according to CRP.

Think about that. A non-interventionist, anti-war candidate received the most support in the election from the Military. Keep that in mind when evaluating Obama vs. McCain on foreign policy.:

War Of Words, Episode I: Lorenzo vs Pedrosa

clipper's remarks: Interesting...

Clip Source: blogger.xs4all.nl

When Jorge Lorenzo entered MotoGP, sparks were sure to fly.

Such was his reputation, indeed, that as part of his contract, Yamaha banned the "Lorenzoland" celebrations, and forced Lorenzo to work with a psychologist to keep his impetuosity in check.

So it came as no surprise that Lorenzo fanned the flames of old divisions this week, complaining bitterly to the Spanish daily AS.com that Pedrosa refused to congratulate him on the podium at Qatar. "I have no interest in causing controversy," the Spaniard told AS.com, without a hint of irony, "but if I see something that's wrong, I say it publicly, without hesitation. I don't like the fact that he didn't congratulate me, but each man must do what he thinks is right. If I'd been in his place, I would have congratulated a rider who had managed to finish in 2nd place in his first race. But then, I'm not Dani Pedrosa."

Fred Thompson Vs. The Moonshiners

Sun, 28 Oct 2007 15:22:53 GMT

clipped by: debbyski
clipper's remarks: "Thompson easily won convictions for possession of moonshine, but Judge Gray was lenient in sentencing, rarely doling out jail time.
"It was a game," said Merritt, the former U.S. attorney. "Gray didn't like these cases. He thought they were a waste of time, and he was right."

Clip Source: www.latimes.com

Today, as a Republican candidate for president, Thompson is cultivating an image as a tough prosecutor who, like the character he played on TV's "Law & Order," battled powerful criminals during his three-year stint as a prosecutor.

Twenty-seven of his cases involved moonshining -- more than any other crime.

"Hell, I made whiskey and was violating the law, but I didn't do nothing wrong," said one of Thompson's many moonshining defendants, Kenneth Whitehead. "I would do it again if I had a still. I can't afford a still now."

Clip Source: www.latimes.com

Thompson's defendants were often poor, and few had high school educations, according to Bureau of Prisons reports included in court files. One typical report described a bootlegger Thompson prosecuted -- a high school dropout who had married at age 14 -- as "the product of a rural, hill-country environment where illegal distilling and running of whiskey have existed for decades."

What are men like?

clipper's remarks: An amusing description of men and women.

Clip Source: jo-kes.blogspot.com

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.

Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.

The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

What are men like? Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to enjoy with dinner.

Creative Destruction vs. the New Industrial State

clipper's remarks: Creative Destruction vs. the New Industrial State

The "embedded" capitalism of Joseph Schumpeter and John Kenneth Galbraith

Clip Source: www.reason.com

We’re just realizing this, after a long, long enchantment with Marxist or Freudian or behaviorist claims that secret or not-so-secret material interests rule everything, that the makers of the U.S. Constitution were driven by their property values, or that slavery was abolished to strengthen manufacturing. One quarter of national income is earned from sweet talk—that is, the persuasion a manager or teacher or salesperson or foreman exercises on the job.

“About the end of the seventeenth century,” Schumpeter wrote in his great 1939 tome Business Cycles, the English political world “dropped all systematic hostility to invention. So did public opinion and the scribes.” That’s exactly right. And it’s what is wrong with the materialist conviction since Marx that ideas are froth on deeper currents. Ideas, words, rhetoric, “reason”: the world is governed, another economist said, by little else.

Infanticide vs. Abortion, What's The Difference?

Sat, 14 Apr 2007 19:03:06 GMT

clipped by: jeffersonpoole

Clip Source: bluegrassredstate.blogspot.com

A 17 year old girl stabbed her newborn baby girl 135 times and then threw the girl into a garbage can. She has been arrested and will probably serve jail time.

I want to know, though, what is the difference between this and abortion? If the child had been inside her body, and a "doctor" had sucked the child's brain out, severed limbs, pulled out the body, accepted $500 or whatever, and thrown everything into a garbage can, nobody would have been arrested. However, since the child had just been born, the girl was arrested.

One of two things needs to happen. States should have the right to make abortion illegal or infanticide needs to be legalized. Crazy government laws and cultural "standards" are sending mixed messages to the nation's youth. I don't blame kids for not having any idea what is right and what is wrong. It's not their fault. It's ours.

Google Video vs. YouTube

clipper's remarks: interessante

Clip Source: evans.blogware.com

I was watching a YouTube video (another funny take on Weird Al's Canadian Idiot) last night, which made me wonder how and/or if Google Video and YouTube are going to co-exist.
Let's start with YouTube given it's more popularity (23 million unique visitors a month can't be wrong, right?). Obviously, Google is probably going to implement AdSense throughout YouTube as a way to generate revenue. There will also be high-revenue banner ads to capitalize on the traffic. Then what? Does Google create a YouTube Premium section for people who want to download/buy videos such as TV shows and movies? If so, how would this affect YouTube's image/mojo given it's the place on the Web to access free video, albeit most of them amateur productions that leave much to be desired. If YouTube tried to make money from selling videos, would this potentially drive people away.
Then, there's Google Video, which has been a modest success since its launch. After all, Google would not have bought YouTube if its video strategy didn't need a $1.6-billion jump-start. Does Google stay upstream by mostly focusing on the sale of TV shows and movies, or does it continue to attract user-generated content as well.
Assuming YouTube pursues a premium strategy, and Google moves deeper into the user-generated content world, at what point will the two services start to look the same? If that happens, does it really matter as long as both businesses as thriving?
News: Google has signed a deal with BSkyB that will see Google provide its user-generated video, e-mail, search and targeted advertising tools to customers of BSkyB’s broadband internet service. “This is a really, really big deal for us,” said Google CEO Eric Schmidt. “If it works, it will become our most lucrative deal from the get-go.”

Good vs. Evil and Moral Absolutes

Mon, 06 Nov 2006 04:02:13 GMT

clipped by: deanknows

Clip Source: web.archive.org

The problem with absolutes is that they tend to be used for evil. For example, Hitler was convinced there were absolutes of good and evil, superior and inferior. He used this to justify the holocaust.

Value systems are ultimately not right or wrong, but stipulations we make. Suppose, for example, that I have a value system that says that people who achieve more are superior human beings. They are more worthwhile. A great many of the people who suffer from depression and anxiety feel this way. You cannot prove or disprove the idea that great achievers are "superior" human beings. You can only say, what are the advantages and disadvantages of thinking this way? How will it help me, and how will it hurt me?

In my experience, aggression is nearly always in the name of God, or some other equally rigid belief system. Sadistic aggression activities are almost always justified in terms of some absolute value system. For example, some people reason that they can beat up gay people, because gay people are absolutely immoral and against God's will in some way. Very few people will say, "I beat up gay people because I enjoy sadistic activities." Aggression is nearly always rationalized, and absolute value systems are need to justify extreme sadism. Like the Holy Wars in the middle ages. Why did they murder people and burn them alive? Because they enjoyed it. But it was always justified as being in the name of God. Sadistic people nearly always have the conviction they are morally superior to others.

Some people base their self-esteem on intelligence, on looks, on charm. They insist that people with these qualities REALLY ARE better than others. Usually, these people are suffering from inferiority or depression, insisting others are better than they are.

These rigid value systems lead to all kinds of weird implications. Some serial killers have been attractive, charming, and intelligent. Can you imagine meeting Ted Bundy, a handsome and shrewd, charming man.
