The housing market sucks. Builders are having enough trouble selling the houses they have already built, so slabs, half-built homes, and empty lots are sitting there, accumulating dust. So what did one local builder do? Put his employees to work, tilling fields:
There is a very famous quote of Ayn Rand’s concerning laws, those who abide them, and those who break them… Today in my reading of Atlas Shrugged, I finally found the full quote, in its entirety:
Dr. Ferris smiled. “Don’t you suppose we knew it?” he said, his tone
Do you vehemently, openly, and vociferously disagree with a white, Republican President? Good for you! Dissent is the highest form of patriotism! Do you vehemently, openly, and vociferously disagree with a black, Democratic President? YOU RACIST!!11!!1!!! *sigh*…
Today’s installment of bigoted, anti-rights screeds comes from “MikeB302000” yet again, and is actually a two-fer… I would remind my readers that while these “quotes” are slightely edited, the core message remains the same, no matter the specific vocabulary used. At any rate, in response to law-abiding citizens …
The fourth box arrived on Saturday, as a prime indication of why the USPS is in such trouble… when first-class mail from Atlanta gets to Knoxville after priority mail from San Diego, there might just be a problem with your routing system. At any rate, the package in question contained …
The third package… well, the third package is going to have to wait a little while for an explanation, unfortunately. However, by way of a teaser, you can have this: Good fun.…
The second package had all of three total days of transit from Kalifornistan, including the sending and receiving days… Occasionally (very occasionally), USPS Priority Mail actually works out alright. At any rate, this one included items that bore no relation to the first one – in fact, only two of …

About a week ago, one of my Obamabot commenters brought up the point that President Bush did not “give the country a good reputation” around the globe, while simultaneously implying that our Glorious President (the current one) is working to change that. Well, current events would seem to support that …
If sites like Ammo Engine and Gun-Deals.com would do a mobile version for Pocket IE and the like. That way, when I come across in-stock ammo, I don’t have to wonder if I’d get a better deal on ammo from teh interwebz.…
You can hardly tell from the picture, but there is one of those little Ikea/putt-putt golf pencils inside of that lanyard: Why? Well, stick around, and if my package gets here, you might find out this weekend.…
If you do not have a subscription to Popular Mechanics, you should probably just go ahead and buy October’s edition. I will certainly not deny that PM’s advertisement/fluff – to – useful information ratio has been steadily worsenning over the years, but this particular issue covers governmenta/societal/corporate disaster response …
