” The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who never know neither victory or defeat.”

Theodore Rosevelt

In Defense of Ass-Kicking

We all need a good ass-kicking sometimes.

That’s exactly what I’m going to tell you about today—why being kicked in the behind can be a significant benefit for your productivity and focus.

There is a very long list of things I know virtually nothing about—home improvement, car maintenance, higher math, oh, it could go on and on—but in a few specific areas, I’ve earned some decent qualifications over the years. The funny thing I realized while thinking about this is that with each of the areas of relative skill, the process of learning has usually been somewhat painful.

More often than not, I have learned far more from failure than from success… and I suspect that’s true of most people.

Consider this quote from Teddy Roosevelt:

Far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”

clipper's remarks: If you are in pain after eating or suffer from any of a host of digestive and stomach problems then this site is for you... Learn the solution for stomach/digestive trouble.

Solving the problems of Stomach pain, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the host of digestive related problems is what this site is about. We recommend The Great Taste No Pain System as a primary means of doing this. Regardless of your past experience this system can help you.

One of the primary components of the Great Taste No Pain System is the science of food combining, which was first introduced into the US in 1911 by Dr. William Hay, a New York surgeon who used it to cure his Bright’s Disease, a kidney disease which was often fatal at that time. In fact, among the many thousands of lives it claimed was Teddy Roosevelt’s first wife, who died of Bright’s Disease at just 22 years of age.

If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you’ll know that we’re big fans of Theodore Roosevelt. No one preached the art of manliness more ardently or lived it more fervently than TR. To start your week off with a swift kick in the pants of manly inspiration, we’ve created some TR-themed motivational posters. Each poster includes a picture of Roosevelt living the strenuous life, along with a motivational quote from the man himself. Bully!

Tyranny in a Sentence - Don Boudreaux

clipper's remarks: I just have to wonder how much of this we will put up with. I know the majority are wise enough to recognize the patterns of history. Why does it seem the world is asleep to the echos of the past resounding louder as each approaching step toward a truly fascist society is created? We sloughed this off before in the last lurch toward fascism in the era of T. Roosevelt, Wilson, Harding, and FDR. It seems we have moved in the last 3 years, since I started noticing this trend, farther left than we went from Teddy Roosevelt to Wilson. FDR was the hammer to head. The wake up call. Thank goodness Democrats of that day were not Progressive and quickly set term limits on the Presidency. The thing is, though, there are so many parallels. People would be served well to study closely the era of these four Presidents, their speeches, the true ideas of progressivism these men preached. Like it or not, Fascism has been making a comeback.

Here's one of the scariest lines that I've read in a long, long time. It's from Michael Copps, Interim Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, uttered back in February:

“If markets cannot produce what society really cares about, like a media that reflects the true diversity and spirit of our country, then government has a legitimate role to play."

Mr. Copps apparently can divine "what society really cares about" from his armchair or from his big, tall chairman's seat at the F.C.C.

What Mr. Copps's statement amounts to in practice, of course, is the following:

If market do not produce what I really care about -- what I judge to be acceptable -- then government under the control of myself and of my friends (or at least of people who think like me) must force suppliers and consumers to behave as I wish them to behave.

Too Big To Fail = Too Big

Last fall's financial panic raises anew a long-running issue in American politics: how big should financial institutions be allowed to grow?

To most Americans the answer is clear: if a financial institution is too big to fail, it's just too big.

From Andrew Jackson to Williams Jennings Bryant to Teddy Roosevelt and FDR, the battle over size and power of banks and other financial institutions has been a theme that has run throughout American history. The reason is simple. The larger a financial institution becomes, the greater its power to control the lives and futures of ordinary Americans. Of course, that power is never demonstrated so graphically as in times of financial collapse, when the excesses of unregulated markets and supersized financial empires implode on the entire economy.

But the fact is, there is no good economic rationale for the massive size of today's financial institutions -- or for the massive growth of the financial sector in general

clipper's remarks: Wonderful Actor.
He played U.S. Navy Adm. William F. Halsey in the World War II epic "Tora! Tora! Tora!" and was an imperious ape in the 1968 classic "Planet of the Apes."

Whitmore looked natural in cowboy boots and hat, appearing in such TV series as "Bonanza," "The Virginian" and "Gunsmoke."

He also did commercials for Miracle-Gro plant foods.

According to IMDb.com, Whitmore was born in 1921 in White Plains, New York. He was married four times: twice to Nancy Mygatt, for four years in the '70s to actress Audra Lindley, and since 2001 to actress Noreen Nash.

He was the father of three children, including actor-director James Whitmore Jr.

The president’s disgust at Wall Street looters was good. But we need more. We need disgorgement.

de him, Mr. Obama called it “shameful” and “the height of irresponsibility” for Wall Street bankers to give themselves $18.4 billion worth of bonuses for last year.

They should know better, he coolly chided.

Now that he has the power to act, Mr. Obama spoke,

“like that disappointed parent

That’s not enough, not with the president and Geithner continuing to dole out what may end up being a trillion dollars to these “malefactors of great wealth,” as Teddy Roosevelt put it.

they need a special prosecutor or three. Spare the rod, spoil the jackal.

“These people are idiots,”

“You can’t use taxpayer money to pay out $18 billion in bonuses. .

The president needs to think like Andrew Cuomo. “ ‘Performance bonus’ for many of the C.E.O.’s is an oxymoron

“I would tell them, a) you don’t deserve a bonus, b) where are you going to go? and c) if you want to go, go.”

Fox's Glenn Beck Complains - Obama didn't use the Bible While He Forgives Bush's Lies

Not Only Is Fox's Glenn Beck a Bigot, He's Also a Lunatic

So not only is Glenn Beck a bigot, but he's also a raving lunatic. On his Fox News show, Beck freaked out because President Obama didn't place his hand on a Bible while retaking the oath of office. The best part was Beck pretended he "checked" and found that no President has been sworn in without a Bible. That, of course, is FALSE. As Think Progress points out, Teddy Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and John Quincy Adams didn't use Bibles when they were sworn into office.

why should Beck let a little thing like the facts get in the way of marginalizing Obama at all costs? Isn't that what all the redo complaints really boil down to -- the true Fox mission?

Fox simply gave the Bush administration a pass for eight painfully long years of blatant lies and illicitness. Now, however, they're suddenly so concerned about strictly adhering to the law, criticizing Obama over something that was actually the fault of Chief Justice Roberts.
