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.

A few Tuesday evening links

How Amnesty International frames their questions. Norm

Iowahawk will soon be an internet millionaire. Let's hope he continues his Presidential campaign, despite his coming wealth.

Will the press actually raise some questions about Obama? Well, they did here. Related: CT's Joe Lieberman fights back. I guess Joe passed on the Kool Aid.

Yacht sales sinking. No surprise. Oil prices up, demand down. Only a socialist couldn't understand that.

Oil demand down. Prices up, demand down. Only a socialist couldn't understand that.

A question of timing: How come suddenly we hear all about Saddam's ties with Al Qaida?

"Shut the hell up." A Roger Simon quote from his Pajamas piece:

It’s time in America to say - enough.

Spike Lee - like Sharpton and Jackson - is now part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Speaking of Socialists... Joe was busy guzzling the environmentalist Kool Aid and doing his best to utterly destroy our economy.
