Category: Mischief Is Important

We Are All Treaty People

After the Gormley event I was left in a state of confusion. I didn’t know how to feel about what I had experienced. I wasn’t sure if I was feeling like a coward or a warrior? If by being there was I being relentless or abiding? I found myself wondering if I was so desensitized not to lift a finger…Wondering have I allowed my colonized mind to get in the way of my passion for justice. All because of my patterned straying from over-sensitivity in a public setting.”

Note: Those who wish to engage their spirit passions (relentless or abiding) in the discussion should probably consult this page as a style guide.

Six Californias?

As Kate’s “O, Sweet Saint Of San Andreas” posts frequently prove, California is an absolute mess, proof positive of an entirely corrupt and incompetent government. While “The Big One” may indeed come one day, tech investor Tim Draper has a much quicker solution: Break it up into 6 smaller states. He argues that this will create competition, which will in turn force governments to do a much better job.
Recently Draper sat down with Adam Carolla to discuss his initiative. Columnist Jeff Jacoby weighs in here. If you know someone in California, you can direct them to the Six Californias website.

A Bloggies Award Goes Horribly Wrong

Mischief is important.

Last year the Best Science or Technology Weblog category was dominated entirely by climate science blogs, and 4 of the 5 were skeptics. Not surprisingly Watts Up won for the third time (congrats to Anthony). Tellingly, Skeptical Science withdrew even though the skeptics vote would have been split. (I guess they know their traffic stats.)
This year, the bloggies has quietly announced “Best Science or Technology Weblog has been discontinued”. Ho hum? Have the organizers succumbed to political correctness for fear of letting skeptics win the award again? Seems so.
Now we could lodge a protest, or we could just nominate our favourite blogs for other categories…

Nominations close on Sunday evening.

A George Zimmerman Tip Line Goes Horribly Wrong

Breitbart;

On Monday afternoon, the US Department of Justice appealed to civil rights groups and the general public across the country for “tips” on George Zimmerman in their pursuit of potential federal civil rights charges against the just-acquitted defendant in the Trayvon Martin killing. The DOJ actually went so far as to set up an e-mail address to allow such tips: Sanford.florida@usdoj.gov. The email address is slated to go operational by the end of the week.

Be sure to have your bestest tips ever ready for submission as soon it goes live.

Local elections 2013: Nigel Farage’s Ukip surges to best ever showing, winning 150 seats

Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors

@DougSaunders I know exactly who Nigel Farage is. Unlike you, who apparently can’t tell a Nazi salute from your own reflection…

A Surefire Way to Make Liberal Heads Explode

I purchased Mark Levin’s latest book at a Costco in Seattle earlier this week:

The looks I received from the pair of hipsters working at the checkout was less than positive when they saw it. So I got to thinking, now that I’m back in Vancouver, what reaction would I get carrying that book wearing my red Canada mittens through the more Lefty infested stomping grounds of Vancouver? I might even opt to read it outside at a Starbucks with the cover prominently shown! 🙂
