Atlas Revisited

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Jay

Had a rare interlude of TV available without kids and not needing/wanting to do laundry, dishes, etc., which led me to discover Atlas Shrugged Part 1 was on Netflix. So I watched it again. Went to great lengths to see … Continue reading →

Sama on the Aftermath

Posted on September 11, 2011 by Jay

I couldn’t agree more with Rob Sama and what we have lost. I keep forgetting the Deep Capture angle, which is fascinating and all too plausible. Rolling back the police state is imperative. A pack, not a herd should be … Continue reading →

Atlas Shrugged Part 1

Posted on April 20, 2011 by Jay

I went to see Atlas Shrugged in Bellingham Saturday, that being the handiest option, an easy 38 miles away. In brief, I iked it. I could pick nits, as some have done, but all in all, a good effort and … Continue reading →

Looking Forward to This!

Posted on February 11, 2011 by Jay

Except it still seems a little weird having Atlas Shrugged updated to be set in modern times, and the characters don’t look much like my mental images. Reardon, to whom I most relate, comes closest. I’m overdue for a reread, … Continue reading →

How is this hard?

Posted on January 28, 2011 by Jay

Saw the other day an article about the latest intentions by the USPS to review and possibly close thousands of unprofitable branches. But we need the services they offer! But it’s the central focus of the village! Wail. Gnash. How … Continue reading →

A Modest Proposal?

Posted on October 30, 2010 by Jay

In which I combine two topics, each worthy of their own, more expansive post(s), to make inroads into the economic and illegal immigrant problems. First, my preference would be that the minimum wage laws be eliminated. If they are not … Continue reading →
