Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

    Sunday morning links

    Mycophilia: Revelations from the Weird World of Mushrooms


    The ABC’s of Self-Reliance - A core American virtue becomes a pejorative in the media.


    You are supposed to depend on the State


    What’s the Matter with Rachel Maddow? - The MSNBC host champions bureaucratic power at the expense of regular people and their rights.


    Why Lefties hold bureaucrats, technocrats, and dictators in such high esteem remains a mystery to me. I think it might be a substitute for faith in God - and in onseself.


    Dr. Helen: Is "Forever Lazy" the Future of Adult Americans?


    OWS: Capitalism's spoiled children


    More people shop at Macy's in NYC every day than are involved in OWS, but those normal Macy's shoppers don't get on the news. Silent majority, I guess, getting on with life without any hystrionic public bitching.


    Connecticut deemed the sinkhole of the nation


    The Complete And Annotated Guide To The European Bank Run (Or The Final Phase Of Goldman's World Domination Plan)


    Dino: Frankly, we’re not looking forward to what the next political year is likely to bring.


    Tunisia heads toward Islamist extremism – but don’t worry, they voted


    Stupid Math Tricks from Jim Hansen


    3 Reasons We Shouldn't Bail Out Student Loan Borrowers


    EU Forbids Claim That Water Prevents Dehydration


    The EU is insane, arrogant, intoxicated with power. Time for Euroland to be rid of this leviathan.


    Newt: "You're going to see from me extraordinarily radical proposals to fundamentally change the culture of poverty in America and give people a chance to rise very rapidly."


    How Unemployment Benefits Became Twice as Generous


    14,000 abandoned wind turbines


    Windmills are a joke. Solar is mostly a joke unless you live in some place like Nevada. For fuel and power, we love nuclear, coal, oil, and gas. And wood!
