Enough with the holiday cheer.  Here’s a list of ten things that I’m getting paranoid about for the coming year.

The Obama administration has modified a long-standing executive order so now agents of Interpol have full diplomatic immunity.  i.e. We have now a class of law enforcement in this country beyond any rules of search and [...]

Mea culpa time.  I was wrong about ACORN the first time I posted about it.  I still believe the thesis of that post, but I think I was a bit ignorant of the scope of the corruption involved.  And a little exchange on Facebook led me to realize that a lot of people (most perhaps) [...]

Strangely enough, I try not to demonize and/or ridicule people for their political beliefs.  When I hand out asshats, I’m doing so for statements and actions that define a universal Platonic ideal of stupidity.  So Pelosi is here not because of her political views, which I find the philosophical equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard, [...]

I bet you thought I was kidding.
I bet you thought such things would never see any practical use.
I bet you believe them when they say that their mission is not to build “futuristic robots” to “feed on the human population”
