In case you haven’t heard, Zimbabwe is collapsing. Their currancy is worthless: inflation was “only” 3000 percent last month, but last week, it lost half it’s worth in one day. Yup.

From the opening scenes of this 55 minute documentary, the audience knows they’re into something they’ve probably never seen before, and possibly never even imagined.

From The Gathering Storm Blog Daniel Pipes has a very interesting ‘what if’ scenario on his blog that explores the consequences of an American Intifada. He does an excellent job offering the support for such a scenario but I disagree with some of his projected outcomes. He begins his ‘what if’ scenario by describing an […]
They were kidnapped and stuffed into the cramped hold of a leaky wooden schooner-class sailing ship. Chained to each other and to iron rings set in the floor, the Africans endured unsanitary conditions, little food and water, and uncertainty until they were finally able to orchestrate a mutiny off the coast of Cuba. After killing […]
It is not always clear as to whether the oft repeated misrepresentations by our media are deliberate lies or rather simply marks of bad educations and laziness as the same falsehoods are passed around and repeated over and over again. Let’s look at some of the most basic ones this summer season: 1) We hear […]

When children require long term medical care, they are often subject to numerous pokes and prods in order to monitor and treat their conditions.

Yesterday, the EPA announced that it is considering reducing the allowable concentration of ozone pollution (smog, not to be confused with smug), a known contributor to many respiratory problems. For many metro areas, the news is roughly equivalent to trying to get blood out of a turnip. For example, none of the Northeast Ohio counties […]
I remember this band from the 1970’s, fronted by the amazing Ian Anderson they (and he) were a bit of an anathema within the music world. While very much part of the Prog Rock movement, they somehow still had one foot firmly planted in the great folk tradition. I can vividly recall images of Ian Anderson, […]

In a rather soft boiled story on West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd’s dotage and his uselessness as an able bodied member of the Senate, at 89 he’s currently the longest serving Senator in American history, the AP did the right thing in reminding the readers that Byrd was once a member of the Klan. Yet, […]
