So we’re driving back from an afternoon walking around the Claremont Colleges — a beautiful day here in SoCal mid 80s, sunny, and the campus and surrounding downtown area is nice. Anyway… long day and I had a sleepless night so Mrs. Turbo is driving home and I take a snooze. I wake up about [...]

Liam Neeson and Taken bring to life a parent’s worst nightmare. It’s also a stoic reminder, that if you are ever in such a situation, it’s beneficial to have the skills of a world-class intelligence operative. Taken, or rather it’s working title, “Liam Neeson kills a******* and royally f**** up Paris,” isn’t a revenge [...] Here is a photo of Robert Downey, Jr. as Sherlock Holmes from the upcoming Guy Ritchie film of Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective. I always see Basil Rathbone (which I think is Rich’s pron star name) as Sherlock and thus cerebral and foppish. I guess as a pre-nanny state Brit he would be more rough [...] Christian Toto has an interesting bit on his blog about that hero of free speech — Michael Moore perhaps shutting down a viewing of a critical (of him) documentary entitled Shooting Michael Moore in Michigan. They say public safety. Christian, as he writes in this Washington Times story, isn’t so sure. Share on Facebook Welcome to a new Threedonian feature! “The Weekend Five” will be a list of your top five…fill-in-the-blanks, sponsored by Yours Truly. This is obviously a nod to our mothership captain, Dirty Harry. I loved those threads! and I am a list-making freak. It will start off about movies, but not by any means be [...] I was listening to Dennis Miller radio show tonight (it’s replayed at night here in SoCal) and he offhandedly mentioned that he admired Rod Blago — former Governor of Illinois — because at least he was unapologetically corrupt. Now we can argue about that, but it did remind me of a man named George [...]
(re-posted from October 22, 2008) “They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security deserve neither liberty or security.” – Benjamin Franklin This quote got a lot of play from folks who warned the Patriot Act and other measures enacted after 9/11 might be a slippery slope. And it’s a valid warning. We the People [...] (“Thanks, but I’m not partial to grape. Do you have any with strawberry jam?) (re-posted from October 22, 2008) John Stossel has a piece on central planning up at Townhall.com and he’s equally hard on Obama and McCain. I have written before that my greatest fear of Obama is not that he’s got some nefarious, [...] (re-posted from October 21, 2008) I am writing you on behalf of the citizens of the United States of America. Whoops, I guess that should read, “as a fellow, British subject.” (Have some patience. I’m sure many of us will make similar mistakes as we adjust to this new format.) I recently visited a building [...] (re-posted from October 9, 2008) Over at DH’s Place Kit asked the following, Okay, time for some campaign practice. Pretend that I am an undecided voter who gets a huge headache whenever the economy is discussed on the news. Explain to me how nationalizing the market would be a bad thing. And please, BE POLITE! [...]
Happy Halloween! (re-posted from October 31, 2008) This may be the hardest concept of capitalism to understand; capitalism ain’t pretty. It’s a rough and tumble, dirty, filthy mess. It is hard scrabble, raw, ugly and it chews folks up and spits ‘em out. It is no place for the feinthearted. Why [...]
(re-posted from September 23, 2008) Brilliant thespian Sean Penn just wrote this at the Huffington Post, “Vote to make me pay higher taxes. (I owe it to your children and my own.) Vote to put your country first.” Idiot me, when I want to help people in need I simply use my free will [...]
(re-posted from September 23, 2008) Barack Obama famously (infamously?) advised Americans to keep their tires well inflated to combat high fuel costs. In the above picture you’ll notice Barack’s rear tire is not very stiff where it meets the pavement; in other words it’s under inflated. What does this mean for Barack? [...]
(this is a re-post from September 17, 2008) One of the things that most annoys me about having to live among mortals is your almost complete lack of understanding of simple, basic Economic principles… Share on [...] I believe the number of people applying for jobs at this establishment tells the starkest tale I’ve seen yet about the job market out there. Sometimes all you can do to get through is grin and bare it — and serve coffee. Photo by Alvimann via morgueFile. Share on [...] I listened to this week’s Radio Threedonia broadcast. Good job. Very cool! It is a blast, and a bit surreal, to hear y’all (you’se guys for Chuck and Rich) in the flesh. There was one part, however that had me shouting at the radio, er mp3 player. I think the whole panel really screwed [...] For those of you who were back with me in the DH’s Place days, and followed my campaign and election blogging; I ended up being quite accurate in my predictions; even predicting in March that Obama would win the whole she-bang. Back when John Nolte and the rest of the world were still insisting Hillary [...] |
