The Physicist and the Climatologist; FOLLOW THE MONEY!
by David M. Hoffer
The fatal flaw in the climate models seems to come from one repeated assumption. The assumption is that positive feedbacks from greenhouse effects can exceed negative feedbacks. While this situation might actually exist over a given time period (and reflect temperature increases during that time period as a result) the average over the long term must net to zero. If it doesn't, then everything we have learned about physics over the last 1000 years is wrong, and perpetual motion is possible. If a climatologist and a physicist were to discuss the matter, the conversation might be as follows:

TSA: Too many Sex Addicts
by Francis A Ney, Jr.
It hasn't exactly been a banner month for our favorite terrorist organization, the Transportation Security Agency. The name is three lies in one, much like the military MRE, in that it doesn't transport anything, secures even less, and the Keystone Kops run a better agency. And given recent news reports and official reaction to them, it's a good thing that most TSA employees don't carry guns, or there would be even more self-inflicted pedal injuries than there are now.

"Where Did That Come From?"
by Rob Sandwell
A friend of mine was talking with his girlfriend about marijuana use recently. He doesn't use the product, but he was explaining why he is in favor of the elimination of drug prohibition on moral and practical grounds. She was deeply and emotionally opposed to the very idea. Drugs are bad. Drugs hurt people. Drugs, and drug users, and drug dealers, are evil. He pointed out that they both drank alcohol, which is far more dangerous than marijuana, and attempted to press her on her position. He wanted to know what the difference was. He wanted to know why she felt the way she did. She quickly became defensive and simply stated that she didn't have a reason for feeling the way she did, she just felt that way. Think about that.

Libertarianism is Kidstuff
by Doug Carkuff
For many of us the principles of liberty—those principles which define libertarianism—are elementary. They are the things we learned in kindergarten. There are really two basic lessons that I learned in kindergarten (and I think most children know these things intuitively). The first is that you don't hit other people and the second is that you don't take things that don't belong to you. Aren't these really the basic lessons of libertarianism? Don't these represent the non-aggression principle in a nutshell? No hitting and no stealing? And don't the vast majority of us take for granted these proscriptions as just and good and obvious? Of course "no hitting" and "no stealing" are unsophisticated expressions of the basic libertarian viewpoint, but it is easy enough to extrapolate these ideas to the world in general and to virtually every aspect of human interaction. It is easy enough for the vast majority of us to agree with the elementary notions of no hitting and no stealing—except, apparently, when it comes to government.

HGN—Basic Safety and Shooting Fundmamentals

A)Four Cardinal Safety Rules, 1.Assume all guns are always loaded. Self explanatory. Everytime you pick up a gun, always treat it as if it were loaded. Check to ensure that it is in the desired condition.

Weirdness

It is quite disturbing to realize that Obama may be able to soon claim that he is a gun friendlier president than Bush fil et pere. What the frak are you talking about, strange person, you may ask, and well you should.

Conspiracy Movie Reviews for the week of Feb 7, 2010
by Roy L. Fox
Zeitgeist Time 2:02—Zeitgeist is perhaps the most earth shaking and paradigm shattering film in the conspiracy documentary genre. Part I has created tremendous controversy because it exposes the false basis of religion, and how the elites have always used religion to control populations. In particular, the sacred myths of Christianity are exposed as retreads of many earlier religious myths, and are linked to sun worship and astrological belief systems. Part II exposes the myths behind the 911 story portrayed by government and the mass media. Part III is a breathtakingly powerful discourse on the criminal basis of the Federal Reserve System and our enslavement through the bankers' corruption of the monetary system. The film concludes with an appeal to people to question their paradigms and belief systems, which is the first step toward defeating the elite's conspiracy against mankind.

Run and Hide; The Kaptain's Back
The Kaptain's Log

by Manuel Miles, aka Kaptain Kanada
The recent hiatus has not improved your kindly Kaptain's disposition. I was never inclined to pussy-footing about, and I'm even less so now in my advancing old age. So if you think that you can be "pro-life" and pro-war, or that you can be pro-abortion and libertarian, take a hike off the plank. I'm not cutting anybody any slack.
