Two football thought on this draft day:
With the Green Bay Packers moving to the 3-4 defense picking a nose tackle like B.J. Raji makes a lot of sense. He should take up multiple blockers letting the linebackers better get to the ball. I do wonder about the rumor of his drug use. What good is […]
The Economist duo of John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge team up to look at how religion has successfully survived modernity. Much is known about the United States so reviewer Hanna Rosin is more intrigued with Micklethwait’s and Wooldridge’s observations beyond the 50 states:
The most original parts of the book come when they follow the trail […]
Would you read a book full of tweets let alone buy one? HarperCollins must think a few people will because they gave Nick Douglas $50,000 to write (actually collect) Twitter Wit.
“Can YOU Score a Book Deal in 140 Characters or Less?”

Trevor Lyman, famous for organizing Rep. Ron Paul’s moneybombs, has a new project involving optimizing websites to come up better in Google searches. He’s trying to increase traffic to LewRockwell.com, CampaignforLiberty.com, and Judge Andrew Napolitano’s FoxNews.com internet show. Search engine optimization (SEO) isn’t sexy like a moneybomb, but done well it can be effective. From […]
Hungry? Poor? (This is a recession, you know.) There’s always ramen.

From Steven Hayward’s speech on the lasting impact of Ronald Reagan he reminds us that near the end of his first term there was significant disappointment in the President:
The case for disappointment, verging at times in betrayal, was made often while Reagan was in office. For example, the Winter 1984 issue of Policy Review, […]
I want all you Leinenkugel’s beer fans to be jealous of me. I got to drink some of Leinenkugel’s new Classic Amber, nosh on sliders, shrimp, bratwurst, and cheese, and hang out with Jake Leinenkugel himself. Jake was in the DC-area to promote the new beer. After having a pint or two (or three) I […]
We haven’t gotten half-way through 2009 and I declare Susan Boyle the feel-good story of the year. If things don’t work out for her in the U.K. she could have a comfortable career singing patriotic standards in the U.S. She would make a killing traveling every summer singing “American the Beautiful” at baseball parks.
“Boyle’s Got […]
OpenSecrets released their vast databases on campaign contributions, lobbyist information, financial records of members of the legislative and executive branches, and information from the infamous 527 organizations. Data is great, but what will give hackers plenty to do is OpenSecrets also offers application program interfaces (APIs) to interact with the data. Expect researchers and reporters […]
I won’t get into any claims about the federal government taking over the internet. The thing was designed to withstand a nuclear attack; I think it could survive the Commerce Department. I am mentioning this topic simply because Smitty at Robert Stacey McCain’s weblog tied Rush, the Canadian power trio that deserves to be in […]
The Sam Adams Alliance trains and encourages conservatives and libertarians to be effective online activists and take the internet from the likes of DailyKos and ThinkProgress. I’ve seen their Samsphere training sessions in person a few times and have seen first-hand how good they are connecting people and transforming online energy into offline activism.
Another way […]

Right now, I’m having a moment of clarity. Not ordinary clarity, the crystal-clear clarity like that which inspired Pepsi to make a bastardized, clear version of its flagship cola.
Forget all this stuff about prices conveying information allowing people to coordinate the production of goods and services. I want to know all about Frida Kahlo. […]
