Malaga/Atlantis (Strutts News Services) – The head of a long submerged work of ancient artistry was retrieved Thursday, that bore a striking resemblance to the, um, meh. Nevermind.
Occasionally I’ve commented on a few of your websites, in response to conjecture and political opinion pieces on government economics, welfare, and socialism. I’m not going to name names; most of ya’ll are blogging friends, and you already know who you are. Most of you already know where I stand, as I don’t hide it very well…
I don’t pretend to hide it either.
To our other silent but loyal readers: It doesn’t matter what I say on someone else’s blog, whether agreeing or disagreeing, venting, castigating, or just having fun. It’s my opinion, and it’s very very true.
I stand by my worms.
Although I’ve posted Utoobage links to Milton Friedman before, I hadn’t seen this one until tonight. It’s not a stretch of the imagination that eventually the videos of Friedman’s astute simple logic may soon be banned as “hate speech.”
Note that he rarely referred to his notes, and didn’t need a teleprompter to convey his ideas. He didn’t need them because he described simple basic truths backed up with historical fact.
Drop your preconceived notions at the door, and listen to what Friedman said, especially as it pertains to our present circumstances. He spoke volumes of logic in this interview with Richard Heffner of Rutgers University on “Open Mind,” a program that aired in 1975:
Friedman was a prescient genius. Full transcript below the break.
Many sequential decisions and errors in judgment resulted in the deaths of Four Innocents, yet few condemn the true perpetrators.
After reviewing many videos posted on the utoobage about the event, I’ve come to the conclusion that there is a lot of fabrication going on in the “information age,” just as there was in 1970 with the campus infiltrators. One pathetic moron even posted a video that claims the atrocity happened in April 1970.
History teaches valuable lessons, but rewriting history and exploiting the deaths of The Innocents to push a political agenda is truly despicable.

U.S. Senators crack me up. Thank god they’re in office so that we don’t have to think for ourselves. Betcha can’t name the four in the photo. Betcha can’t.
