‘Scared,’ Mr. President?

“Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now, and facts and science and argument do not seem to be winning the day all the time, is because we’re hard-wired not to always think clearly when we’re scared.

‘I Want Your Money’ Was On The Money, Indeed

by Smitty I give it eight out of ten on IMDB. The movie essentially juxtaposes the Gipper and BHO personally, while building a mostly linear historical framework of Progressivism in which to drop the ideological conflict.

Feel free to adapt this idea: Dear Congressman Moran, It’s a matter of public record that you’re a spread the wealth kind of guy: It’s also a matter of FEC record that you’re in great […]

Da Tech Guy Gets the Nudie-lanche
