Terry Liberty Parker

Terry Liberty Parker, a long-time libertarian activist from here in Austin, Texas, is very ill. He has an inoperable malignant brain tumor. The chemo was working but making him very ill as well and he's stopped taking it. I went and saw him today and they said that he's been feeling much better and is able to move better now, so hopefully we'll see some sort of real turn around. Back in the day, Terry was one of the first people to explain modern libertarianism to me by way of his long-time...

I Changed My Mind. Mea Culpa.

Maybe some will say I sold out. Others will say I've finally come to my senses. Well, all I know is that I've changed my mind. On The Stress Blog I once wrote that I couldn't vote for Ron Paul (in a Congressional election; he wasn't a presidential hopeful then). I said I couldn't vote for him because of his position on immigration, which I went so far as to say was worse than Bush's. I've changed my mind. First of all, he's not as bad on immigration as Bush, when you consider the total amount...

US General “war against Iran will be easy”

Another cakewalk has been promised: "the campaign will be easy" (Yet again, US military thinking assumes that high tech hardware wins wars. What a stupid proposition! Will these guys *ever* learn? Even a pacifist like Gandhi knew that Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will) The really scary thing is that this guy is the chairman of the Iran Policy Committee...

George W. Bush: U.S. to Occupy Iraq Forever

He will give a speech tonight announcing what I was trying to tell you back in 2002: This is not about getting Saddam the Hitler┞¢ of the Mid East - this is about staying forever. You didn't listen to me. Perhaps it was because I was only going out at 100 watts... Iraq is Korea, he will say. And I will remind you that just last week the president of South Korea asked him to end that war and was told to suck it.

AMD releases ATI hardware specs

Excerpt from an interview with Linus Torvalds: Interviewer: Out of curiosity, do you have anything to say to hardware manufacturers who refuse to release datasheets or specifications about the functioning of their hardware so it could operate with the Linux kernel? Linus: Is "I hope you all die a painful death" too strong? Recently, the CPU manufacturer AMD purchased ATI, which makes graphics cards. ATI graphics cards are used extensively, and there is a 50/50 chance you have one yourself. For...

911 questions without tinfoil hats

9/11 - the big cover-up? Even the chair of the 9/11 Commission now admits that the official evidence they were given was 'far from the truth'. By Peter Tatchell 09/12/07 "Guardian" -- -- Six years after 9/11, the American public have still not been provided with a full and truthful account of the single greatest terror attack in US history. What they got was a turkey. The 9/11 Commission was hamstrung by official obstruction. It never managed to ascertain the whole truth of what happened on...

Rep Ron Paul M.D. Thrashes the Pathetic Coward Bill O’Reilly

Don't go toe to toe with Ron Paul on the facts, he will get the best of you every time. Too bad he didn't have time to explain that a two-way border skirmish between Hezbollah and Israel gone out of control hardly amounts to Iran starting a war by any stretch, if Tehran gave a nuke to terrorists, they still have a return address, Ahmadinejad never threatened to wipe Israel off of anything, they can't make a nuke, and it's pronounced carte blanche. Maybe next time...
