The politics of Hit-Girl For a long time the left has controlled the gates for movies, books, and comics, in part because of the government control of television. Lately, however, I have been seeing more and more politically incorrect stuff. As you probably figured out if you watched the movie Kick Ass, Hit-Girl is a conservative, what with being home schooled and all It is a great movie. In the …

“ethicsâ€
The Washington post complains about unethical science in China. Zhao is turning his attention to a topic Western researchers have shied away from because of ethical worries: Zhao plans to study the genes of 1,000 of his best-performing classmates at a top high school in Beijing and compare them, he said, “with 1,000 normal kids.†Politically incorrect science is “unethical†Today western science is stagnant for the same reasons as …
Palin still in charge
Looks like Republican party activists listen to Palin, and rank and file republicans listen to party activists. The next test of Palin’s power is Lisa Murkowski against Joe Miller.
It is the past that changes
The future is certain, it is the past that changes. Moveon had a web page demonizing General Petraeus as General Betray Us Obama appoints General Petraeus in charge of Afghanistan, whereupon the page not only instantly disappears from Moveon.org, but also instantly disappears from Google’s cache. When the past changes, Google’s spiders are quicker of the mark than they are for normal updates, suggesting human intervention to correct the past …
If Jews bleed, it does not lead
The biggest story of the last few days has been Israel’s interception of peace activist ship to Gaza, in which they killed nine peace activists. Here is a picture of some peace activists holding down a soldier at knifepoint, with what appears to be a pool of blood on the bulkheads. When the the picture gets carried at all in the mainstream media, the knife and the blood gets cropped. …
The past is always changing
We have always been at war with Eastasia
Someone in Academia received an order like that given to Comrade Winston Smith, and all of Academia fell into line, and remains in line to this day, a thousand megaphones attached to one microphone.
Mission accomplished
Paychecks from private business shrank to their smallest share of personal income in U.S. history during the first quarter of this year At the same time, government-provided benefits — from Social Security, unemployment insurance, food stamps and other programs — rose to a record high during the first three months of 2010. But has everything goes to hell in a handbasket, it will all be blamed on free markets, despite …
How to fix the financial crisis
Proposed reforms, both left and right, are unlikely to have any effect on the continuing massive misappropriation from the financial system. It is absurd that people are discussing obscure details of the credit swap market. To fix the financial crisis, we have to revoke, or at least denounce and denigrate, Marie Curie’s Nobel prize. When they gave a Nobel prize to Marie Curie for being female, that did not hurt …
The left as astroturf
Whenever one sees supposedly insurrectionary leftism, one usually detects a government official sponsoring it, as for example in the recent suppression of US flags on Cinco de Mayo. Observe the recent firebombings in the Greek riots, where the “rioters†murdered three people. Here are a couple of videos of the “rioters†firebombing police. The “rioters†charge the police, and bang on their shields with light sticks, making no attempt to …
US government endorses Mexican violence
Compare and contrast with Saint Patrick’s day, where the American flag flies high. By enforcing what the thugs want, the government endorses and supports that thuggery. The government will empower any group that supports bigger government, for example Mexicans as a voter block, and disempower any group that objects to bigger government. So, predictably, Mexican thugs were empowered by the school administration, the administration being part of the government.
