Work Smarter Kill Zombies

Jay Best on Quora notes that if one spends half one’s work day typing papers and emails doubling one’s typing speed will free up 10 hours. Work Smarter Kill Zombies

And what better way of doubling one’s typing speed than by putting oneself in life and death situations with hoards of zombies where survival depends on how fast one can type.

Exactly the premise of Typing of the Living Dead.

Wolf Wants Funeral Tax

Wolf Wants Funeral Tax
Gov. Wolf wants to tax funerals

For Pennsylvania’s unthinkers who punched button for Tom Wolf last November, be told: Our new governor wants to tax funerals.

That’s right, he wants to expand the sales tax to previously exempt items including caskets, burial vaults, services provided by funeral homes and grave stones.

This would raise the cost of the average funeral, which is $6,500, by $429.

Wasn’t Gov. Corbett’s historic gas tax enough to solve our money problems? It would have been if the goal wasn’t to create a feudal system were we serfs are expected to support lifestyles of wealth and leisure for the lords and ladies in the political class.

Has there been any talk of cutting public spending? LOL.

How about a tax on public pensions? That’s a tax we can support.

Charles Eugster, a British dentist set the world record for the 200m, March 8, at the Silver Grey Sports Club in the U.K. He ran it in    55.48. The record was for his age class obviously. Eugster is 95 years old. May he be an inspiration to all nonagenarians.  And octogenarians as well.

Here  is a feature story about him that appeared in Britain’s The Telegraph.

Here is a link where he explains why bodybuilding is good for the elderly.

Corporate America Wants Gay Marriage

An amicus brief was filed March 5 by 379 corporations and business groups urging the U.S. Supreme Court to declare “marriage rights” for same sex marriage with regard to Obergefell v. Hodges. Corporate America Wants Gay Marriage

The list includes CBS and Philly’s own Comcast which owns NBC so expect the news you get about the matter to be what you expect.

It includes Goldman Sachs from whence, it seems, more often than not comes  our treasury secretaries. And of course it includes all the hip tech companies like Apple and Facebook and Google.

You get the suspicion that this is a done deal and no amount of reason or rationality can change things.

Still, we will try.

Sodomy is bad and society should not give an inkling of approval for it. It should be given the same status as chain smoking cigarettes or eating super-sized meals thrice a day.  It should be encouraged as much as sharing a needle in a crack house.  People who care about people don’t give license for these things.

The claim that people are born gay is problematic. Just ask a heterosexual male who has been pestered by a gay one. Obviously, recruitment occurs, and obviously choices are made. The claim that one is born in such a way that one can’t resist a sexual relationship with another male is the linchpin of the gay marriage movement. It makes about as much sense as saying a man can’t resist a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl or another man’s wife.

Civil marriage is not about personal fulfillment. The only reason for the state to be involved in the relationship between two people is because third parties might find themselves involuntarily involved. With a man and a women these third parties are called children. It is pointed out that marriages occur now between parties that cannot or do not intend to have children. These are marriages of convenience. They are not good things. They should, in fact, be discouraged. If gay marriage is declared a right, marriages of convenience will become the norm. Why shouldn’t two business partners get married to resolve tax issues? If gay marriage becomes a right, why not incest? The only reason for the institution is  “love” and “personal fulfillment” right? A father-son marriage would certainly be a way of beating the inheritance bite. Meanwhile, the moms and dads  who are actually working to create the future find the burden just gets a little harder for them.

Fathers are vital to child rearing, maybe even more so than mothers. While, we think you can make, unlike for men, some kind of a case for a marriage between  two women, choosing to raise a child without a father is epitome of irresponsibility and should be discouraged.

Ancient wisdom matters. The Bible is not ambiguous regarding homosexuality. It’s a bad thing according to Scripture. History backs this up. Societies where male homosexuality was commonplace — again putting paid the claim that one is always born gay — have not been very pleasant for women. And regarding the purposeful and even pleasure-filled rejection of the Biblical commands, when one discounts the straightforward condemnations of things one doesn’t like, one will find others discounting the things upon one has come to depend.  Why should one expect mercy and compassion and tolerance? Because Comcast said so? LOL.

Here is a list of  the 379 business groups that want gay marriage to be a right.

Brian Williams Protected Obama

Brian Williams Protected Barack Obama

Brian Williams bizarre penchant for making up stories of derring-do, as bad as it is, is not the worst of his journalistic crimes.

Far more damning is the spiking of legitimate news stories that put his political ally, Barack Obama, in an unflattering light.

New York Magazine’s Gabriel Sherman has revealed that Williams twice in 2013 refused to air major stories about significant occurrences that made Obama look bad. One concerned a Justice Department memo justifying drone strikes against American citizens. The other was about how the Obama Administration had known since 2010 that ObamaCare would cost millions those insurance policies that Obama promised repeatedly that they could keep.

Obviously, these stories were reported elsewhere but not by the then most watched newsman in America.

The only reason Democrats win elections is because information is kept from the voters.
