Can't make a honest living in this town anymore
The essay "The last century: What the heck was that?" was written in the year 2000, and seems quaint in many ways.
Dennis Dale links to the news article "The Left, Online and Outraged" that shows the true face of leftism, with a picture. I was not surprised when the stalinoid depicted in the article quickly smoked two cigarettes. After all, smoking strongly correlates with mental illness and general loserdom, as does leftism. Dale's other post "The "R" Word" notes that
Ironically, the chill manages to keep out of the public consciousness an awareness of the intractable racial intolerance of the Third World and the (apparently) unendurable reality that the most racist regions of the globe (and some of those include neighborhoods right here in the U.S.) are those that are dominated by people of color. Racial tolerance and equality are Caucasian inventions.
And I'm a racist for pointing this out.
Somebody once wondered why it is considered sexist oppression when men look at beautiful women, but it is looksist, sizeist and ageist oppression when they don't look at ugly women. In a similar spirit, the post "I stopped trying long ago" at "Across Difficult Country" notes that
[...] certain Leftoids have accused the Duke Lacrosse team of racism for hiring a black stripper. Of course we all know these cretins would call men who refused to hire a black stripper racist as well. There’s no pleasing these people, which is why it’s best not to try.
The Flash animation "Trimcoast" at Albino Black Sheep amused me. Apparently, the singers on the soundtrack are actual four-year-old kids who are popular in Finland.
The blog "Architecture and Morality" offers the posts "The Luckiest Generation: Why the French Can't Quit Socialism" and "Ahhhh, The French"
that explain why the French stubbornly stick to their socialist model
and lifetime employment, even though this makes them fall economically
further behind.
The post "Life's Little Gems" by "Mean Mr. Mustard" further illustrates the leftists' concept of the freedom of speech.
Althouse's post "A perception about time" wonders why how certain lengths of time feel long whereas certain others feel short. It's how you look at it, I guess.
Kunstler's new post "Still Crazy After All These Years" is not going to win him any friends in the progressive community. But this is why I like his writings so much. Mark Kleiman
is similar character in the sense that he supports nuclear power, a
stand that is not likely to win friends in the progressive community.
The post "Bushies and anti-nukes" finds interesting ideological similarities between the anti-nuclear activists and the neocon Bush administration cheerleaders.
"Gallery of the Absurd" demonstrates some inventiveness.
The news article "Gays in Iraq fear for their lives" reminds us that not all cultures out there are equally inclusive and enlightened. But then again, who am I to judge?
In the same spirit, the essay "What's the Matter with White Folks?"
is adorable just not in the way it uses the words "false consciousness"
but also in the way it conflates the plight of ethnic minorities (who
tend to be quite homophobic, and especially so in the Third World) and
the plight of gays. Furthermore, when some people hate white people as
much as Tim Wise
obviously does based on the few essays that I have read, you might
recommend them, just for the sake of their sanity, that they emigrate
to some country where white people are not such a problem, for example
Cuba or Zimbabwe, whose political systems might also be more to their
liking.
The post "Streamlined Dating Site" at the Dilbert Blog asks an interesting question about how online dating sites should be simplified. Another post "Non Prophet Organization"
asks an interesting theological question that I have also often
wondered. And besides, wasn't Joseph Smith supposed to be the last
prophet?
The funniest thing about that guys post I linked to is how the real subject isn't rape but how 'cool' he is "No one got hurt, man..I was like, THERE..with strippers dude..but no one got hurt."
