http://www.illspirit.com/blog Electronic Lycanthroplasty Mon, 26 Oct 2009 07:37:32 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Over the last year or so, deregulation has become something of a dirty word even though there hasn't really been much deregulation of anything since the '90s. Even people who one would normally expect to support free-market ideas have been lulled by the siren song of the statists. Of course ... http://www.illspirit.com/blog/144/regulatory-capture-for-dummies/ Speaking of freak shows which I wish one could ignore, watching the escaped mental patients running the asylum District of Crazy government moan about health care is actually kind of amusing. While it's hard to make heads or tails of the endless spin, it seems their main talking point now ... http://www.illspirit.com/blog/143/hunger-care-reform-now/ Just when it seemed nothing could ever be ridiculous enough to inspire me to touch the blog again after months of having my senses numbed by ridiculous political theater, this bit of rubbish from the "Gun Guys" totally pegged my facedeskometer. Summary, in case you don't want to give them the ... http://www.illspirit.com/blog/142/oh-my/ Whilst browsing the politics tab at Fark, my mouse was drawn into an inescapable irony vortex created by this link to the Daily Kos. In it, the author shrieks breathlessly about how Justice Thomas should be impeached. Example: How is this man allowed to serve on our Supreme Court when he ... http://www.illspirit.com/blog/140/bill-of-fail/ A long time ago, Glenn Beck did a segment where he criticized GTA for promoting violence. Now he's being blamed for the Pittsburgh loon, and bizarro finger-pointing ensues over at GamePolitics. The funny part is how so many of the moonbat commenters over there seem to be frothing at the chance ... http://www.illspirit.com/blog/139/recursive-irony/ Remember all that talk about banning guns on the official White House web site or from the mouth of the Attorney General or Secretary of State? Well, some on the left seem to think you're a paranoid right-wing conspiracy theorist for pointing it out. Likewise, they think you're paranoid if ... http://www.illspirit.com/blog/138/i-can-has-a-cognitive-dissonance/ Over the last few days, one can hardly spray coffee through their nose without hitting a monitor containing a story about self-proclaimed anarchist and communist neo-hippies talking about how they're going to "overthrow" capitalism or some such. For a hilarious and extremely ironic example, see the second clip over on Hot ... http://www.illspirit.com/blog/137/a-public-service-announcement/ For the last few months, the current Looter in Chief has been telling us that low taxes which let people keep and spend more of their own money is somehow "giving" money to the "rich," and that only government can create jobs by spending trillions of dollars it doesn't have ... http://www.illspirit.com/blog/133/micropork/ SayUncle blogged that nobody seems to know what kind of weapons were used in the Alabama shooting. Some are saying fully automatic rifles were involved. Others are saying semiautomatic. One source said it looked like an AK-47, but that it "could have been an M-16." How one can possibly confuse ... http://www.illspirit.com/blog/126/weapons-of-mass-confusion/ Just read on arfcom that some guy driving through Massachusetts to Maine got pulled over and cops searched him because they saw a gun case in his truck. Pants-shitilarity ensued. An 18-year-old city resident is in a Massachusetts jail after state police said they found an arsenal in his truck. ZOMG an ... http://www.illspirit.com/blog/122/psh-bingo/
