Really? Because most signs point to US agencies having been actively involved in the drug trade previously. I believe this activity dates back to shortly after WWII. There seems to be strong evidence of […]

Only in some rare cases can they even called different varietals. There is only one species of Cannabis. Hemp and marijuana production are almost entirely culture differences, though it is possible to select for […]

There was a time, earlier in our Afghan adventure, when we destroyed opium crops. It doesn’t work. All it does is to destroy a farmer’s ability to generate cash. keep in mind that when the UN single convention […]

You were better off just giving them the wheel. I’ll admit to having two stem replacement, bead resets done on my old truck tires at WalMart, but i took the wheel off at home both times and only went to that […]

Steeleweed, i don’t think that i have any editorial powers left but drop me a line at alexigregor at google’s mail service.

I seriously doubt that our leaders want us to work only 15 hrs/week. All that leisure with less debt fueled consumption is bound to lead people towards thinking for themselves and not doing what they’re told […]

What’s interesting is that there’s a regular contributor here who almost always offers nothing but anecdote and assertions with little to no evidence, and yet never gets questioned by the editorial board. Maybe […]

Oh good, i was wondering how long it would take for the Obama brigades to start telling us how it’s really for the best to chop up social security.

There isn’t a problem with it now, except that every […]

McArdle has clearly, never taught kindergarten/1st grade. I have, and can tell you that 8-12 kids that age couldn’t tackle me … even without a gun or two. And i’m by no means a large man. In fact, i can recall […]

The joys of fighting and insurgency. I have no doubt that some children (and i’d imagine that a 14 year old Afghan has had to a bit more growing up by that age than the average 14 year old American) are recruited […]

This is one of my favorite memes, because it hinges so completely on American ignorance and gullibility. Most of Western Europe has higher rates of entrepreneurship than the US, you know “job creators”. I credit […]

Bwahahaha. I love the turrism perspective. You know what the biggest, everyday threat to the grid is? Poor people with giant balls stealing copper. The ground breakers in switchyards and substations are constantly […]

I live under a local grid. My city of 21,000 owns (yes, it’s Socialist and not-for-profit) a small coal generation station. The coal comes in by ship, as the plant is on Lake Superior. We do sell power to nearby […]

I’m not for the fracking binge, though my company and line of work stands to make good money from all the fuckups that will come with it. We’re the people you call when your oil pipeline breaks or you realize that […]

The fact that manufacturers feel/can’t raise wages because they face such stiff foreign competition is true; it’s also a straw man. The same economic theories and people who espouse and implement them as national […]

I’m with you adrena. Broadwell will be the one who pays for this in terms of career and legacy. And look how the military-intelligence sycophants are already framing it. She’s just a hanger-on slut who writes […]

That Foust can read the winds and ride them. He’s a truly skilled apparatchik. Two days ago he was publicly talking about the sad end to the career of a “storied general” and now he’s all, “Yeah, I never thought […]

War by economic means. The Bolton/Cheney crowd can probably only quibble on the matter of there being no fat for the defense contractors.If the US were dropping HE bombs indiscriminately on Tehran a few (but not […]

Not enough signs around here for me to anger everyone by switching signs in the middle of the night. Everyone wakes up with their political allegiances reversed!
