As apart of their new MEAexposed campaign, Education Action Group (EAG) put up the following billboards in Gladstone, MI.

Why? To provide some (much-needed) common sense to a dialogue that has otherwise been dominated by MEA propaganda, scare tactics, tantrums at board meetings, and–if that weren’t enough–the opening of their own crisis center.
As you can guess, [...]

Fine! I’ll go halfway…
Nietzsche on song and dance via The Birth of Tragedy:
In song and in dance man expresses himself as a member of a higher community; he has forgotten how to walk and speak; he is about to take a dancing flight into the air…He feels himself a god, he himself now walks about [...]

Fifteen years ago yesterday–on April 19th, 1993–a 51-day standoff between the feds and the Branch Davidians ended in an appalling, totally-avoidable tragedy. The Waco Massacre, the fault of a stupid, brute-ridden federal government unable to respect both the 1st and 2nd Amendments, resulted in an incineration of 76 civilians, including 21 children. [...]

This week’s pick reminds me of two things: high school and this reason article. Oi! Oi!
NOFX — The Marxist Brothers

This is a hilarious video.

“Chairman, that is pronkrageous!”. Haha…easily my favorite line.

Whew. I’ve been way busy folks. So you can guess what that means for my weekend “Nietzsche loves a dance party” post: half ass quality. Oh yeah!

I know. It’s awesome. I feel like my personality needs to really step it up a bit…..you know, in order to reflect the punchy, animated layout.
Uh-oh, watch out! Nicky Cheese about to get CRAZY up in here!
Anyways, don’t credit me. It’s the work [...]

Yesterday Bob Barr announced his presidential candidacy exploratory committee.
How anti-climatic. I really hope this doesn’t blue-ball his campaign.

The dance party. Get a bunch of 20-somethings together with lots of booze on a Friday or Saturday night and–almost like clockwork–a dance party will break out. Doesn’t matter the location–club, house party or a sparsely-attended get-together–at some point between 11pm and 3am, a dance party will form. I’m pretty sure its instinctual.
And I couldn’t [...]

Today I had a really enjoyable afternoon soaking up some Houston sun and reading Ayn Rand’s Anthem. I actually finished it all in one sitting (can’t remember the last time I’ve done that). Compare that to the months upon months it took me to get through The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Woof…Now that I think [...]
