The recent debate between Ron Paul and Paul Krugman brought me to Randy Barnett again. When Ron Paul says to eliminate the Federal Reserve, then qualifies in debates how his writings don't call for an abrupt end, he seems to ignore an important power granted to the U.S. government. To persist the battle for truth and honesty and make a difference ( Read more... ) -

I have two co-workers who play Magic: the Gathering so finally I had the opportunity to play a deck I constructed over a year ago. They'd never played multi-player where turns are played clockwise. The deck consists of all five colors, and it was built around liege cards like the Balefire Liege. In fact, almost every creature card in the deck is ( Read more... ) -

While leaving HyVee last night, a woman was chatting with someone briefly near the exit. I walked past and got to my truck, then as I stepped away from the door, my bag of apples tipped over and spilled. While I was picking them up, she was behind my truck and commented on my Texas plate. She proceeded to chat with me for what must've been around ( Read more... ) -

Of course, Ron Paul was part of the conversation, and I got onto my usual rant about how it's annoying that so many people call him a crazy old man. He's had a lot of success campaigning in Iowa recently, and the Telegraph ( Read more... ) -

I occasionally like to read about constitutional law. I read cases on a website called Justia on supreme.justia.com. I learned about a former associate justice named Stephen Johnson Field after reading his dissenting opinion in LEGAL TENDER CASES, 79 U.S. 457. Regarding the power to coin money, which has been so loosely interpreted today for the ( Read more... ) -

In my frustration, I decided on a new maxim. If shit rolls down hill, then failure starts at the top. Since that is most certainly the truth, I've also decided the years of life I've lost and can't get back because of worrying about the stresses, frustrations, and irrational nature of the way things are were not a worthwhile sacrifice.

I was amused by what I thought was someone else's pun last night, then I read this morning's Sinfest and Tatsuya Ishida is the trumping winner making me jealous.
