Item. Get ’em while they last, this is a limited-time offer.

Iterum. Operators are standing by….

Item. Yeah, they might cut your head off.

Item. Ah, yes, the Identity Politics shuffle. As ye sow, so shall ye reap.

Item. Steve Sailer illuminates the disconnect between Hollywood and the truth.

Item. Coming soon to a Y-chromosome store near you.

Item. People are learning that “outsourcing” is only worthwhile when there’s a significant imbalance in resource prices between one point and another. In that sense, it’s like currency arbitrage. With modern communications, however, those imbalances are equalizing more and more rapidly, and the “outsourcing” advantages shrink with corresponding speed.

Of course, that doesn’t prevent static-minded bureaucrats and other “activists” from behaving as if the situation tomorrow will be same situation as today unless they “do something”.

Iterum.

Item. More of a problem than you would think.

Item. Language nerds get punchy on holidays, apparently, but it’s still an interesting read.

Item. People keep coming up with new ways for me to spend money….

Item. Yup, religion of peace, all right. Says so right there on the box.

Item. “If the world is going to hell in a handbasket, what’s the policy implication?”  A topic that is much on my mind, as you might imagine.

Item. Now that his Better Half (pun intended) caught him with his pants down in the wrong venue. *sigh*

Item. Admit it, it’s been on your mind.
