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.

From the NYT, 1999:

In a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.

The Man Who Never Was. Powerline

The McCain campaign hits the NYT hard. Rightly so.

Michael Yon puts all the English media to shame...it says something about the British medias attitude to our troops when an American writer is the only one to show just what such a great body of men can and are doing...well done Mr.Yon.

Vote in the Ice Cream Poll - Straight Talk Crunch: Caramel ribbon, chocolate pieces, candy red states and crunchy mixed nuts swirled into White Chocolate ice cream or Whirl of Change: Peanut-Nougat ice cream whirled with chunks of chocolate-covered peanut brittle and a caramel ribbon.

PETA wants Ben 'n Jerry's to stop using cow's milk for their ice cream. They want the company to use human breast milk.

It's on Drudge. Gross.

I know, AVI. I blame it on the Adderall ER 30mg. and Provigil that allows me to have blistering sex all night long.

I'll try to be better.
