I don’t pay much attention to advertising, especially TV adverts. Years of resenting the intrusion of advertising into the shows I watch have conditioned me to pay very little attention. Whenever I select a show to watch, I simultaneously select a second show to have as an alternate. By using the ‘previous channel’ button on […]
I engage in debate with self-defined liberals on a regular basis, both in person and online. One of the things that I often notice during these debates is the presence of a glaring contradiction in the thinking that my opponents apply to their arguments. For instance, I was having a conversation with my more liberal […]
You know what I’m getting tired of hearing? It’s the phrase “times like these” in advertisements on radio and TV. Here we are, in a big old nasty recession and the businesses who are in part responsible for creating the conditions in which many of us became overextended due to the raw commercialism in our […]
An opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal the other day was very interesting. It’s written by a physician from New York, Dr. Marc Siegel. The short version of the article is that increasing numbers of physicians are rejecting insurance coverages from the government because of the low pay they provide to the physicians for […]
I’ve skipped over a host of articles about NHS failings over the past couple of months - I suppose that even I get tired of reporting the same old bad news all of the times. But this story which appeared today in the Daily Mail is just so heart-rending that I thought it deserved some […]

What this post is about it the sudden realisation by […]
Late post for me, but take a quick peek at this article from the Dallas News. Texas governor Rick Perry, in a presser following his appearance at a Tea Party, suggested without saying that secession could possibly be one course of action taken by his state. Finally, someone in a position of authority has sort […]
Susan Roesgen, who is apparently a reporter for CNN (I don’t watch CNN, so I can’t verify that one way or the other) was given the wisdom of hundreds of people who’re thoroughly fed up with her employer. You can watch her here. Susan, baby, I hope you learned what your bosses didn’t/wouldn’t/can’t tell you […]
Well, Ms Napolitano just got her first, maybe her second object lesson in national-level politics. After the widespread publication of the DHS report in right-wing extremists which allegedly leaked out over the weekend from her department, she’s come under increasing fire from conservatives and veterans for the the broad-brush manner in which the report paints […]
