Rational Conservatism from the Rocky Mountains
Yep, you read that right. How the heck did that happen? Did I fire off the final four chapters in a blinding rush of alcohol fueled keyboarding? No, here’s what happened. I have been struggling for months with the ending of the first book of the three-part series of books. And I’ve struggled with WHY [...]
If the latest polls can be trusted (and when can they?) then there are some interesting trends developing that should be troubling the Obama re-election campaign. And one thing that the pundits are all wringing their hands over actually doesn’t matter at all. The two major trends developing according to the polls are: 1. The [...]
This isn’t a new idea. People have been talking about towing icebergs to drought stricken areas for decades. There are many ways to make this feasible from an engineering if not an economic point of view. The reason it hasn’t been done is because it’s a huge, huge up front investment and the return on [...]
Britain has been set ablaze by rioters for three nights in a row. The rioters are generally young and unemployed and are hearing that their future welfare checks are going to be cut. They are setting cars, trash bins and buildings aflame. Police have told citizens whose property and person have been attacked to let [...]
Sigh… so tonight on our walk, I took a regulation sized football. A bit uninflated, but otherwise a reasonable facsimile of what the pros use. My very best throw was 39 paces, and that was again a bit downhill. My best throw on a flat was 38 paces and my best throw uphill was 37 [...]
… is how it demonstrates that this nation is over populated with absolute drooling idiots. There is no other way to explain the fact that there are still 75 million “Americans” who think Obama is doing a fine job.
A thin band of antimatter particles called antiprotons enveloping the Earth has been spotted for the first time. The find, described in Astrophysical Journal Letters, confirms theoretical work that predicted the Earth’s magnetic field could trap antimatter. The team says a small number of antiprotons lie between the Van Allen belts of trapped “normal” matter. [...]
… and where is it headed? I am not an economist, and this blog is just a place for me to present my opinions about things, so you can take it for what it is worth, which is practically nothing… But what’s really going on in the world? Why are jobs so scarce, debt so [...]
The Total Quarterback Rating is a statistical measure that incorporates the contexts and details of throws and what they mean for wins. It’s built from the team level down to the quarterback, where we understand first what each play means to the team, then give credit to the quarterback for what happened on a play [...]
So today I took my Steelers football with me when we took the dog for a walk, just to get some upper body exercise as part of the walk. So I paced off each throw. My best throw was 53 paces (which may or may not be 53 yards, but it’s going to be pretty [...]
