So Bloomberg is making noise about running as an independent candidate for president and wants to reduce partisan gridlock in Washington.
He’d be running as a centrist, of course. The situation in which he’d run is described in the article:
And Mr. Bloomberg himself has become more candid in conversations with friends and associates about his interest […]
It’s almost Christmas and I will be in Wyoming for all of next week, so this place will be very quiet for that period.
At work today my boss handed out Christmas cards thanking us for our hard work. Not just generic, Santa Claus and snowmen cards, but full-on Christian, worship Jesus cards. Now, he’s a […]
Top ten lists are fun, right? Here’s my favorite music of 2007:
10. Alcest – Souvenirs D’un Autre Monde
I think I mentioned this album in a post a couple months ago. I can’t actually think of much to say about it. It’s just a solid album that really clicked with me. Shoegaze black metal, apparently. If […]
Oh my god this is going to be awesome. Ninja + wolverine claws = win.
When that game comes out, you probably won’t see me for a couple weeks.
I think Ezra has it exactly right here. Paul is a protest candidate for people who are angry. What he actually believes is not that important. This was illustrated very well by a commenter here. His incoherent insistence on promoting all of the outside the mainstream candidates is a symptom of that position.
Paul’s certainly raising […]
This is rather impressive. The Nazi’s supported organic farming! Liberals support organic farming! Ergo, liberals are fascists!
How can you argue with that?
All I gotta say is, those Germans sure are dumb. I mean, the Nazi party drew it’s supporters from the conservative parties of the day and then went to work eradicating Communists and Social […]
Craig sort of has a point on number two, there. The subject is Franklin’s liberty and safety quote. Economic freedom for economic safety is just such a trade-off and liberals don’t have a problem with that. I’ve seen the point made before and it has the benefit of being strictly true.
Of course, Franklin’s quote, taken […]
I have a suggestion for Netflix: subscribers don’t need to be mailed free trial offers.
Just a thought.
I’m starting to like Romney the best out of the frontrunners, I think. I have the suspicion that he’d govern like he did in Massachusetts and the new social conservative stance is pandering. He appears to be a competent executive, too. Huckabee and Guiliani are crazy in their own ways and McCain is…well, he’s McCain.
This […]
Huckabee’s not the sharpest guy, is he? Not only that, he’s openly admitted to pandering to Cuban-Americans. I guess his honesty is refreshing.
How long will this guy be on top? I suppose he’s better than Guiliani, but I think he’d be worse than Romney. Who knows? Voting for any of them was never a serious […]
