The Case Against George Zimmerman
There isn’t much of one, and never was:
…in essence, the media — by creating all this “notoriety” via false storylines not supported by the evidence — have hurt Zimmerman’s chances for fair treatment in court. Nice work, folks.
He should sue, starting with NBC, for defamation.
Fedex’s Singing Animals
You know what, Fedex?
If UPS would run an ad saying, we don’t do singing animals and sustainability — we just get your package there on time at a lower cost, I’ll use you every effing time. Unfortunately, I had to get something somewhere after three on Saturday by Monday, and only Fedex could do it.
Think about it.
Academic “Diversity”
Diversity trumps all, except when it comes to political views. Then all that matters is conformity.
Kickstarter Funding Progress
Things got off to a good start late last week, but donations slowed down over the weekend. I’m a little less than a third of the way, at $2160, with a three and a half weeks to go. That’s plenty of time, but I fear that I’ve already plucked all the low-hanging fruit, so spread the word, please.
I’m flying to DC tomorrow to go to the Global Exploration and International space Development conferences, so I may try to get face time with potential larger donors for matching donations. It also might help if folks would comment over there to entice new donors who come across it.
Winning Wars
Can we do it any more?
Not when the leadership of one of the major parties sees US weakness in the world as a feature rather than a bug.
The Unteachables
What our “self-esteem” movement and the public schools have wrought. It’s been over thirty years since that commission on education issued the report that said that if a foreign power had imposed this educational system on us, we would rightly consider it an act of war. It’s true today more than ever.
People Who Buy (And Sell) Organic
…judgmental jerks. I guess the science is settled.
Next up, vegans?
The Occupiers At The NATO Summit
…are no match for capitalist pigs like Jonathan Hoenig. Heh.
Mere mockery is too good for them, but it’s too much fun.
The Barbarians Of Chicago
And I’m not just referring to these people:
I’m also referring to the barbarians in public office there (and DC, and New York) who defy Constitution and the Supreme Court, and the age-old right of the law-abiding to arm and defend themselves, because they willfully enable the barbarism.
