Solved problems are a dire threat to politicians
who subsist on promising to solve problems they
themselves have usually caused.

Hands Off The Internet—Or Else
by L. Neil Smith
The Internet was filled, today, with news about Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin, and their urgent desire to bring the that system under control, about the FCC (no country with a first Amendment in its Constitution has any use for something called the "Federal Communications Commission) and "net neutrality", whatever the hell that means. I have previously reported disparaging remarks about the Internet by Hillary Clinton and Jay Rockefeller wishing it had never been invented. Statists hate, loathe, and despise it, and for excellent reasons.

Last of the Red hot Reds
by A.X. Perez
I have spent the last couple of weeks meditating on President Obama's State of the Union Speech. I have sought grokking, and grokking is. The answer I received is unsatisfactory, but it is the only possible answer.

The Mind of a Prohibitionist
by Sean Gangol
The mind of a prohibitionist is something that I have never been able to comprehend. You would think that with the track record that prohibition measures have had on society, only a small fringe element would support such a thing. Yet there are people on both sides of the political spectrum who support prohibition in some form or another.

Coal
by L. Neil Smith
Before we start, let's get one thing straighter than it has been. Coal is not a fossil fuel. There is no such thing as a fossil fuel. The idea that coal (or much of anything else) comes from squashed Carboniferous trees and other prehistoric plants that died hundreds of millions of years ago is romantic: stored ancient solar energy and all, but it is a myth. There was probably never enough Carboniferous plant life to account for the coal we have already mined, refined, and burned.

Washington State Patriots Preparing To Be Arrested, Will Not Back Down!
Washington Oath Keepers Alert!

by Elias Alias
Elias Alias here. I got a letter from Mike Vanderboegh, Founder of the national III% movement, alerting me to this event which is upcoming on February 07, 2015, in Olympia, Washington. Unfortunately, Stewart Rhodes, President of Oath Keepers, is already booked in Pennsylvania for the week of February 07 through February 15, so he cannot attend this rally in Washington State. I am hoping that many in our Oregon, Idaho, and Washington chapters will be able to attend this event on short notice, because it's got great potential to focus public attention on serious gun rights issues.

First, this note from our Publisher:

Hiya!

This is an experiment. A writers' group in Loveland recently asked me to speak to them "in a few weeks", which I would be delighted to do, But I have lost their e-mail and cannot reply to it. If any of them sees this,please let me know.

Please do not try to communicate with me via Twitter.I do not use Twitter. I have nothing against it, or any of the other social networks available, In just do not have the time for it. I do use Facebook and ordinary e-mail (which I prefer.)

Bobbi, I've lost your e-mail, too, but I am as well as can be expected and slowly but steadily getting better. I am ambulatory, my speech is clear. Don't have use of my left hand/arm yet, but I will. Thank you for asking.

Thank you, one and all, and remember: a flat tire is only flat on the bottom.

And here is this observation:

Back when everyone in the world thought Americans were cowboys they loved us. Now they think we're cops and soldiers, and they hate us.
—Bob Wallace

I've been down with a nasty cold this week. Starting to feel better now. Hope y'all are well!
