“You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.”Winston ChurchillThis quote is so appropriate at this moment. The deficit is growing. The dollar is falling. Gold is at its highest. The mortgage lenders are being sued left and right. Our current president is trying to start a war with Iran.But in New Hampshire, they are running out of ballots. Let's

One of the things that has always bugged me is that high school never teaches real economics. Sure, you get one semester of macroeconomics, but that's about it. Well now everyone in America is getting a lesson on how the economy really works. The housing market is really starting to collapse. This is affecting money supply so the Federal Reserve is pumping more money into the economy. This is

It's interesting how history repeats itself. The current craft movement is taking off. But it was during a very similar time over 100 years ago when another craft movement took off. Arts and Crafts flourished between 1880 and 1910. It was in revolt to the industrialization of work that had been the realm of the master craftsman. It was about humanizing created objects. Today's movement is very

Here's another study showing that a unprocessed diet is better for you than a low carb, or low fat diet or any other type diet out there. In fact, it may even prevent type 2 diabetes altogether. The more your body has to work to get the nutrients out of the food, the more calories are burned. If you let a machine in some factory do all of the work for you, your body will end up storing those

This is a link to the wonderful 10 hour 1985 documentary that looks at why we are who are. The Day the Universe Changed should be required viewing for everyone.

As some one that has done a fair amount of ceiling painting recently and has some more in the next month, I am excited that Glidden has come out with a new ceiling paint. Painting ceilings is so difficult because you can never tell that you have completely covered the ceiling with new paint. You can usually only tell after the paint is dry and by that time you have moved on to the walls or trim.

From 1950-2000 the earth was in relative stability. Two camps controlled most of the power on the planet. But less as a result of the weakening of the Soviet Union and more result of the globalization of trade, the old ways are showing to be ineffective in the new world order. This paper is an interesting insight into this potential new future. And it certainly works with the ominous opinion of

Scientists have found no link between intelligence and wealth. With the amount of rich idiots out there, how could this not be true? Who buys a gold plated iPod anyway? Amassing wealth is a learned skill. It's just that it has been purposefully left out of the curriculum. Or maybe it's accidental. I would imagine that what is true for wealth is especially true for power. They just don't know

In today's episode of Why the Middle East is Fucked, we learn about the Balfour Declaration of 1917, how it conflicts with the Sykes-Picot Agreement, and how Sykes-Picot and Balfour REALLY conflicted with the Hussein-McMahon Correspondence. And silly you, thought all this stuff started in 1948 because the Allies were feeling guilty about six million Jews getting killed by Nazis and not really

Make has an entry about NADH in their new Tools N Tips section and I wanted to share my personal experience with it. NADH is a coenzyme produced naturally by the body in order to turn glucose into energy your body uses to fuel itself. One third of the energy your body produces is used by your brain. Increased intake of NADH has been found to improve brain function, empower the immune system and

Why do they have to put High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) in everything these days? Accidental Hedonist discusses this and more. Perhaps it is a poli-geo-eco conspiracy? Or could it be that HFCS are a harmless additive that increases shelf life and sweetens food really cheaply? But then again when have companies ever had our best interests at heart when there's a buck left in our wallet?

One of the frustrating things about Super Glue is that it is pretty much a one use product. Even with the cap on, it dries out in a matter of days. Kevin Kelly featured this epoxy on his Cool Tools site that looks like a better solution for a lot of repairs. You can even handle it with your bare fingers during the prep! It doesn't drip everywhere. And it stays good until you mix it up!

Since 1999 the CIA has been reclassifying thousands of documents. While some of the documents might be of concern for national security, many are just embarrassing to the intelligence community. A document from 1949 reveals that it was believed that the Soviet nuclear program was poor at best. Six months later they exploded their first atomic bomb. But this is not justification for withdrawl. In

In honor of Kyoto Protocol Day we Americans should use this day to crap on the rest of the world! Today is a good day to change your oil and pour the remnants down the nearest storm drain. Have an old air conditioner? Take a shotgun to that compressor! The CFCs will only shorten your tanning time! But ideally today should be spent driving solo in an extremely large vehicle through bumper to

Top 10 reasons why no ones reads this blog. Actually I like the fact no one, except my lovely wife reads this blog. It's like screaming into a crowd of billions, only to be drowned out by the screams of everyone else. I get my screaming done, and no one is at my door wanting me to explain why I don't scream like they do. Now if I could only do something about the fundamentalist Christians next
