things to do in Denver when you're dead, #64

Go see Transformers 3. Which, at nearly 160 minutes, no living human should ever have to sit through.

The Ballad of John and Yoko and Ronnie Raygun

Oh, how freakin’ delightful. But frankly, I’m not all that surprised. I’ve long argued that the real heroes of the counterculture — those pressing for individual freedom, not the poseurs who dressed the role to try and get laid, but later turned into the very brownshirts they pretended to be fighting against — should naturally find themselves on the classical liberal side of the political divide. And yet today, the

Further Adventures of Comte de Saint-Germaine [guest post by motionview]

OK, perhaps one more wacky idea for St. Germain. Across cultures and times, le Comte steps into a new role as Abdullah, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. This chart shows the price of oil since 1970 and two surrogates for the health of the American economy, US deficit as % of GDP and unemployment rate. Prior to the formation of OPEC in 1973 the US had roughly kept the

"Dems dig in: GOP trying to sabotage economy on purpose"

So, now we know what the left’s narrative will be: that by calling for cuts in spending with money we don’t have — while simultaneously denying the left a tax increase on “the rich” that would further destroy job creation and strain an already strained taxpayer class — the GOP is intentionally and for political gain trying to “sabotage” the “recovery.” At least, that’s how Chuck Schumer is selling it

July fundraiser here at last! [sticky; new posts below; TUESDAY update; FINAL FRIDAY PUSH]

Come celebrate summer with protein wisdom, your very own Roman Candle of freedom and truth! Because let’s face it, your money is better spent buoying up an extremist website with little or no influence on the public debate than it is on, say, churros or some stupid John Varvatos pima cotton 3-button henley with detail stitching. Am I right? Of course I am. **** Tuesday update: A bit more than

"MSNBC Analyst Suspended for Crude Truth Telling"

Calling Sarah Palin a murderous twat gets you patted on the head over at MSNBC. Whereas calling the President a dick? No good. At least, now that George Bush is out of office. This would be, in the scheme of things, a tempest in a teapot — humorous only in that Mark Halperin rushed to denounce himself once he’d heard the White House wasn’t at all pleased with their comrade’s

"Obama Raffle Video Not Legal, Election Law Experts Say"

I’m sure Eric Holder is readying the FEC swat team as we speak: A video of President Barack Obama filmed in the White House and included in a fundraising e-mail sent to supporters is not legal, two election law experts told CNSNews.com. The video was included in an e-mail sent to supporters of President Obama promoting a fundraising drive that offered participants a chance to win an invitation to dinner
