Everyone involved in the disastrous rollout of the disastrous Obamacare website has been fired or has had something horribly bad happen to their careers, from Human Health and Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius downwards. It turns out that people working for the government, like people with tenure, can be punished by the left, though not by the right. If ever the right should try to fire people, see my post on …
autogynophilia
The progressive model of transexuality is that a man is really a woman inside. For the most part, this is not true. Transexuals are, for the most part, men who have no interest in knitting, dolls, or housework. They are men who have a sexual fetish for being treated as women. They get a kick out of it. Wearing women’s clothing is analogous to flashing girls – it is making …
Bored with Game of Thrones
I used to be a huge fan of Game of Thrones. Attempted to watch the latest episode, Season four episode one, gave up when we got introduced to some bad guys in the occupation army harassing the North. I don’t care about those people. They can rape the northerners all they want. Fine by me. Most of the northerners I cared about got killed off. Lately the show assumes that …
Watt’s big list of failed global warming predictions
Watt has a big list of failed global warming predictions.  None have been fulfilled, many of them have been falsified. Here is the subset of Watt’s list that has been clearly and obviously falsified. May 15, 1989, Associated Press: “Using computer models, researchers concluded that global warming would raise average annual temperatures nationwide [USA] two degrees by 2010.†1988 Rob Reiss asked official Climate Scientist Dr. James Hansen how the …
The trouble with white nationalism
is that it is demotic. The trouble with our brahmins is that they are demotic. If, seeking power, you propose to give all white people a microslice of power, you will be outbid by those seeking power who propose to give everyone a microslice of power. White nationalism is moderate leftism, and moderate leftism will always be outbid by immoderate leftism Today’s white nationalism is yet another variant on the …
Still patting themselves on the back
The Cathedral believed it was unthinkable that Putin would annex Crimea. When Putin annexed Crimea, they believed he had made a terrible mistake, and they just needed to allow him some face saving way to back down. Mother Jones tells us: Russia Is Not Exactly a Big Winner in the Crimean Dispute Here is how Russia has won: The Cathedral has murdered its allies, and been unable to murder its …
Creeping coup in the Ukraine
The fascists took over Japan in the 1930s by a creeping coup. There was a fair bit of violence and assassination by people with friends in government, and people in government had friends in the violence and assassination business. Similarly, that is how Mossadegh “democratically†came to power in Iran, without ever facing the inconvenience of an election. And that is how the Cathedral installed a puppet regime in Ukraine. …
Prediction, Retrodiction, Warmism and the Demon Haunted Dark
We are far more impressed by a scientific theory that predicts, than a supposedly scientific theory that retrodicts, even though from the Bayesian point of view they are the same. Successful prediction tells us that this is an actual theory, rather than a slippery and ambiguous pile of vague fudge factors subject to post hoc reinterpretation. As you probably know, Global Warming models are 100% successful at precisely “predicting†(retrodicting) …
The trouble with gay marriage
Scott Alexander has just posted that anyone who objects to homosexuality must be a repressed homosexual, which is typical of what passes for rationality among the “Less Wrongâ€Â crowd. By the same reasoning, anyone who objects to coprophagy must be a repressed coprophage, because, of course, everyone at  “Less Wrongâ€Â knows perfectly well that there can be no rational, innate, or instinctive reasons to dislike eating $#!%. When we were all forced …
Recap on Warmism
I have been ignoring the issue of Global Warming for a while, because it is pretty much settled. Â Anyone who still believes in Warmism is stupid, crazy, or lying. Â Usually stupid. But, a short summary:
