Peace?

October 9th, 2009 · 5 Comments

When I heard that President Obama had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, my first reaction was just to laugh.  It represents a level of absurdity beyond which no other reaction is frankly possible.  Is there anyone out there who honestly can take this seriously?

Who’s “The Man” at Burning Man?

September 3rd, 2009 · 10 Comments

Peace Protesters

January 10th, 2009 · No Comments

The Reno Gazette Journal had an article yesterday about a handful of hippies who continue to agitate for “peace.”  By “peace” they mean for us to leave Iraq, Afghanistan, and rid ourselves of the military-industrial complex.  Apparently they want to remind Harry Reid and Barack Obama that Obama’s election was a mandate for college-know-it-all hippidom, [...]
