I've started saving...Monitored Alarms no more.

I've been talking about the slow response times of the police to 911 calls after reading the statitician John Lotts blog and articles for years. I don't know why I assumed that the response to an alarm event would be any quicker.
The following website was found in my latest edition of the American Rifleman and the testimonials and the product description seem to be just what I need.

Some people are pure geniuses

Okay here it is...take a Honer harmonica and mate it to an old NES game cartridge. Sell the results online and make 200% profit. How long will this last? Who knows. In the short term this innovative genius is having a blast and telling some wonderful stories, I'm sure.

Why a Salad Costs More Than a Big Mac

This is really just another example of the Law of Unintended Consequences which states...that "any intervention in a complex system may or may not have the intended result, but will inevitably create unanticipated and often undesirable outcomes."

Speaking of Tax Dollars being wasted...

You probably have seen stuff like this before from the government. Something that just doesn't make sense.
This is the letter from the U.S. Census telling citizens that it is going to be sending them a letter.

Another Great Article about the merits of the FairTax!

I've been a big fan of the FairTax for years. I despise the fact that my spring is spent worrying about Uncle Sam...specifically, how much U.S. is going to take from me to run government. It always seems to be more than I belive the Govenment deserves. I hate the waste. I hate the corruption. I hate the funding of the Arts (by definition it isn't essential) with taxpayer funds. And don't get me started with NPR. Anyways, I'm a big fan of the FairTax and believe it would solve a lot of the problems that the current tax code initiated.

There are probably more like this than you think

Cops. Policemen. Fuz. Often people shun them because of the power of arrest. In actuality, law-abiding citizens should interact with and welcome police in their midst. Imagine a world without enforcers of the law. Think "Lord of the Flies" on steroids.
This story, from The Survival Spot Blog, is probably a better description of the typical police officer.

Touching.

Moral Vanity + Blatant Hypocrisy = Unlovely Combination

Obama as Senator thought that a supermajority was absolutely necessary and a moral imperative to boot.
This must be the CHANGE he talked about as a candidate.

Biting comment by Justice Scalia

From the transcript of McDonald v. City of Chicago...
Justice Scalia's mind is sharp.


JUSTICE SCALIA: I guess we -- I guess we have applied substantive due process with regard to the necessity of permitting homosexual conduct and with respect to the necessity of permitting abortion on demand. We have not adopted a more rigid rule for the Federal Government than we have adopted for the States in either of those instances, have we?

The flu season that wasn't.

I can still remember that goofball secretary of health and human services showing reporters how to "properly cough" into the crook of the elbow. If something is to be learned from this it is that if the government tells you something is a crisis...you can probably ignore it. If the government tells you not to worry about something, that is when to be concerned.
