Diana Hsieh on Hope and Change...

Diana Hsieh (NoodleFood), who has a PHD in Philosophy from the University of Colorado, discusses how we ought to beware the buzz words of the statists who would take your liberty away using with catch phrases such as, “it’s for the children”, “upholding moral standards”, or “protecting us from harm.”

Dr. Hsieh’s videocast is a pleasing diversion from the gobbledygook all around us!

baio1 Crimmins, How does it feel to wake up next to this?Last week it was divulged that good ole’ happy days star, Scott Baio had called the FBI because of death threats on the internet found in the site called Twitter.com. He had provided a picture of our esteemed President’s wife that didn’t show her in a good light. I’m sure it happens to everyone. The caption read, “How does it feel to wake up next to this…”.Story here.

michelle Crimmins, How does it feel to wake up next to this?Now I’m sure we all have had our moments and got caught in the wrong light at times. I know I have.

Now imagine. You belong to a government entity and are in the public eye for hours at a time. You would want to make sure you are at your best, right. Now image that is your wife. Image you work on a government payroll as well. Image you work for the Hudson School District as a liaison officer, someone who hasn’t enough credentials to get a real police job. Imagine your name is Mark Crimmins.

300 pounds 5 foot one. Have at it Mark!Now image having to wake up next to Cindy every morning. Yes officer Mark Crimmins, how does it feel to wake up next to that?

Depressed [AP News] Apparently dePressedBelow we find the words of the AP.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is raising more speculation about a possible presidential bid with a stop in Iowa during her national book-signing tour.

The Iowa caucuses have traditionally tried to launch the presidential nominating political; season .

Palin’s book – signing tour has been carefully controlled, and she has not spoken to reporters at most events .

Still, her appearance in Iowa is seen as significant.

Veteran Republican activist Tim Albrechtt says politicians don’t just happen to stop in Iowa and Palin must know that her visit is probably seen as a signal she is more than likely considering a run.

Another possible RINO Republican contender, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, also has visited the state recently.

Biddles Loving Life; Ideas DO have consequences..

The Church has never allowed the Creed to be interfered with. It is fifteen hundred years since it was formulated, but every suggestion for its amendment, every logical criticism or attack on it, has been rejected. The Church has realized that anything and everything can be built up on a document of that sort, no matter how contradictory or irreconcilable with it. The faithful will swallow it whole, so long as logical reasoning is never allowed to be brought to bear on it.

Adolf Hitler, quoted in Hermann Rauschning, The Voice of Destruction (New York: Putnam, 1940), pp. 23940.

Craig Biddle writes: “Hitlers plans required that people have faith; thus, he had nothing but contempt for logic. And he was neither the first nor the last to feel this way. David Hume was as explicit about his hatred of reason as he was about his love for feelings. Just as he insisted that feelings are our only moral guides, so he insisted that ‘Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.’ What does that mean? Hume tells us: ‘It is not contrary to reason to prefer the destruction of the whole world to the scratching of my finger.’ “

So, it is the case that ideas have consequences and the critical issue in Biddle’s book, Loving Life is just that.. One must have a rational, fact-based, means of making morally significant choices in life. Sadly, the general mass of humanity has only perceived two options for moral decision-making: religious authority and social need. Both involve subjectivism, neither provide an adequate means for living ones life to the fullest nor can be relied upon.

I have just about finished the book, and what is clear is that Mr. Biddle writes with power and precision. Yet, the book is not as much an attack on mysticism as it is a referral to reality. The flaws of mysticism become rather self-evident as one progresses through the material. I would recommend this book as food for thought to anyone with an open mind, or anyone who wonders what it is that has ruined the Republican party…

Bigger loss? I vote for Billy Mays...

billmays1 150x150 Bigger loss? I vote for Billy Mays...I’ll admit, I was no fan of Michael Jackson. I didn’t particularly like his music, and I really have ongoing suspicions regarding his pedophilia. Yet, the collective grief seems unending and the irrational behavior by people who never personally knew him is mind-boggling.

Then just today we learned of the sudden death of television pitchman, Billy Mays. Mr. Mays was fully engaged in bringing to market new and innovative consumer products; products with a level of appeal to just about everyone.

I can’t help but compare the reaction we’ll likely not see with regard to Mr. Mays verses the irrational orgy of collective grief we’ve been witnessing over Jackson. Mays life-work can be measured in jobs, revenue, and profitability for newly launched products by start-up companies competing in the marketplace, Jackson?

In our view Billy Mays is a much larger loss to humanity than Michael Jackson was, or ever would have been. While there is clearly something untoward in comparing people posthumously in this way, it is nevertheless the media in our faces that prompts reaction. None of these losses to those who are truly and immediately affected is really our business. An otherwise disconnected observer can be empathetic, but to go further is irrational. Yet, because some of these people impacted our daily lives we do feel some compulsion to have an opinon. So be it.

Our condolences go out to the Mays family – in our view, their loss is also our loss. Not in a personal way, but rather in the fact that Billy Mays was a productive part of society who profited handsomely while increasing the wealth of others.

CNNs (un)Reliable Sources and other liberal dinks.

CNN’s Reliable Sources-a journalistic incest session hosted by Howard Kurtz-featured Joe Kline (Time) this moring flanked by two nitwits whom I have never seen. In discussing some otherwise rediculous media gathering where pot-shots were apparently fired all about, Mr. Kline defended a joke made in reference to Rush Limbaugh.

The joke was, essentially, “did you know that there really were 20 hijackers on 9-11? It’s true, the 20th was Rush Limbaugh, but he was hung over from too much OxyContin and couldn’t make his flight…”

One of the nitwits responded by saying this was over the top, to which Joe Kline immediately objected and argued that Limbaugh is entertainment, he is fair game. Moreover, he lies 50% of the time daily to the American pubic. Message to all CNN Collbots (collectivist robots): Limbaugh, and anyone who utters anything remotely resembling Limbaugh’s views, deserve to be maligned and publicly made fun of … and telling lies to malign them is not just Ok, it is a legitimate tactic.

I would agree with Kline that Limbaugh is an “entertainer,” but to suggest he is misleading the public (who, by the way, listen to him by exercising volitional choice) by telling lies 50% of the time is so laughable it becomes stunning. Reminds one of the Anderson Cooper tea-bagging matter… and merely is taking CNN further off the left abyss – clearly this is urinalism and not journalism. Never mind the fact that if Rush Limbaugh was engaging in lies 50% of the time he would have been off the air years ago.

I have to admit, I do not listen to Rush as much as I did a few years ago (the whole satellite radio thing), but if what Kline actually meant was that Limbaugh is engaging in “social treason” by speaking literal truths that are anathema to Kline’s collectivist world-view then the liberal dink was actually under reporting.. The number should have been 75%! Now, perhaps Kline was making a feeble attempt at being facetious – and actually attempting to engage in a Limbaugh technique (illustrating obsurdity by being obsurd), but if that was the case then it was merely further proof of why Joe Kline is a hack writer for a washed-up publication and not a demonstrable success story, such as Mr. Limbaugh …

Either way, any way, one looks at it Kline is an idiot and simply wrong.

Of course, that was the point I grabbed the remote in one hand, coffee in the other, and engaged in my own volitional choice.

Where Is The Outrage!

This is INCREDIBLE stuff on its face, even more incredible is the fact that there is no national outrage over this! Where are the people’s representatives? Call your congressman, call your Senator, Call you freekin mother! All you pin heads who were screaming about AIG executives getting bonus money after bailout funds were distributed need to wake up! That whole menagerie was just that – smoke and mirrors.

You want a real reason to be outraged – this is it!

Napolitano:
I was at a dinner last night (3/31/09) in Washington, D.C.. sitting next to me was a banker who was the Chair and CEO of one of the ten largest banking holding companies in the United States. They have $250 billion in assets, no bad debt of which they are aware, did not engage in credit default swaps, they have no sub-prime mortgages, and they dont need any government assistance.

He informed me that the FDIC and The Treasury came to him and said if you dont issue a special class of stock just for us, which we can borrow, we will audit you publicly it will cost you millions in employee time and bad publicity and in lost business. Thats your choice.

Isnt that extortion?

This successful banker begged the federal government to let him run his bank. Begged his board of directors to let him tell the FDIC to go take a hike.

The board caved, they issued a special class of stock, Hank Paulson bought the special class of stock (2% of the company’s stock). That was September

Come March (knock, knock) Sheila Bair (FDIC head) comes knocking: we own 2% of your stock, and heres how you are going to structure your corporation

So, A, if this story is true, and I have no reason to believe it is not true, this is extortion. Which is, B, a crime, and C, we have a 2% share owner of non-voting stock now trying to control management.

Stossel: Is this the banker that gives out copies of Atlas Shrugged ? The charity that does that?

Napolitano: Yes.

Napolitano: John, you would have been very comfortable at this dinner party…

Stossel: Yes, I would have.
