Antiwar.com radio host Scott Horton and I had a jolly time exposing the frauds behind Afghan aid and other foreign policy charades. It is amazing how Afghan aid would retain any credibility in the American media. Why the ignorance and the kowtowing to the Official Line from the White House, Pentagon, and Karzai? Scott made […]

Dilbert Blights 500,000 Lives
I don’t know how many project managers follow Dilbert, but the ones that do (and understand the humor) might be ready for Suicide Watch. Scott Adams has a perfect ear for the absurdities of contemporary American bloviating.
Nature of the State Revealed in One Minute 39 Seconds
The police response to the nonviolent protests at the University of California Davis is a stark lesson of how much abuse some government officials feel entitled to inflict on anyone who does not kowtow.

The following 8 minute video is a potent reminder on both the nature of war and the nature of politicians who send men to […]
Christmas Tree Tax: Bum Rap for Obama, Probably
So the Obama administration is trying to destroy Christmas with a new tax on Christmas trees? Bah humbug. I’m pro-Christmas and pro-Christmas tree, but this hubbub looks like a red herring. The 15 cent per tree tax (to fund promotional efforts and industry bureaucrats) is the same type of surtax that USDA-empowered committees have been […]
