Russia and yet more proof the UN is useless
Hilary Clinton was half right. Putin's not just channeling Hitler but Stalin as well. He invaded a foreign nation claiming the need for Lebensraum, that he had the right to invade anywhere where Russians lived. At the same time, he's validating Stalin's ethnic cleansing of the natives. The reason there's a Russian majority, or any Russians at all, ( Read more... ) -
Motorcycle
At the beginning of February, my motorcycle was hit. Luckily it was low speed so I was unhurt. I immediately had the motorcycle towed to the shop and put in a claim. Even better, the guy accepted responsibility and has the same insurance company. That should have been easy. Well, as most people who know me understand, my life isn't easy. It's not ( Read more... ) -
Don't ever buy a Dell
I've never bought a big name branded computer until I wanted a tablet. I bought a Dell Venue Pro 8. The hardware seems nice. The problem is their technical support is non-existent. They don't allow email, they hang up on you if you call and their chat fails. They do their best to take their money and run. -

Another Republican speaks
And supports the clear concept that racism is tightly entwined into the DNA of the party that once worked to free blacks from slavery. This time, it's from Minnesota House of Representatives member Pat Garofalo, claiming things about the NBA that aren't true solely because most players are black. -

Beautiful response to a non-event
A schmuck at Duke recently found out that an incoming freshman woman is a porn actress and publicized that information. Of course, the woman was shamed for voluntarily choosing how to earn her money to pay for school. Now, the real person needed shaming has had that done well, by the head of the porn company.
Mike Kulich, the CEO, published an ( Read more... ) -
Russia, Ukraine and Jews
Neither nation has a history of being good to Jews. There's now one interesting bit being discussed. It seems, just before the Russian invasion, a miraculous set of anti-semitic attacks happened in the Crimea and Russia was quick to blame neo-Nazis. However, the local Jews have a different opinion. As pointed out in a Daily Beast article, the Jews ( Read more... ) -
Another example of why the death penalty should not exist
As I've mentioned before, I have no problems with the theory of the death penalty but do have problems with the impossibility of ensuring guilt. New evidence found in a Texas case indicates yet another innocent man was killed by zealous prosecutions looking for votes. As reported, a jailhouse informant seems to have been given a lighter sentence ( Read more... )
