All I can say is… OMFG

Maybe NOW some of my Obamaphile friends will start to get why I’m always talking about why the Federal Reserve, bailouts, “stimulus” plans, and Leviathan government are bad…

The Passing of a Legend and a Hero

Patrick McGoohan – the man who defied authoritarianism and stood steadfastly for the importance of the individual in the classic TV Series “The Prisoner” – is dead. McGoohan was 80 years old and leaves behind his wife of 57 years, 3 daughters, several grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

And, just like his character in “The Prisoner,” he always refused to be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered. He was a free man. And he will be sorely missed.

See this documentary for more details:

A great 1 hour interview with Ron Paul

Ron Paul in 2008?

I may have to put my money where my mouth is and against all odds vote for a Republican candidate in 2008. I said two years ago that we needed to elect men like Ron Paul and now we may have to chance to elect THE Ron Paul. Ron is the most Libertarian candidate in the field from either of the big-party camps. And goodness help me, I like and respect a Texan Republican. What ever shall we as a country do?

Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record

* He has never voted to raise taxes.
* He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
* He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
* He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
* He has never taken a government-paid junket.
* He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
* He voted against the Patriot Act.
* He voted against regulating the Internet.
* He voted against the Iraq war.
* He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
* He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

Dude…

The Big Lebowski may just be one of the funniest movies ever. Just had to put that out there.

Here’s another gem for you: Sick and tired of crappy music played by people who dress like depressed gay vampires with anger issues*? Well, real Rock & Roll has been reborn on the outskirts of Sydney, Australia and it’s name is WOLFMOTHER!!! I can only hope that this undoes the sweeping change that began when Nirvana signaled the death knell to fun and joy in music. Let me make this clear – We don’t need the wretched cartoonish excess of the hair band era. This is stripped down 3-piece party rock with balls to spare. Wolfmother is channeling the long-dead spirits of early Sabbath, Cream, Led Zeppelin, The Who, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience and I for one am GLAD to see them return! If you doubt, just watch:

THAT is how you spell “B-A-L-L-S!”

Between these guys bringing back the fun (complete with cheesy innuendo and D&D lyrics), and new Nine Inch Nails and the revival of Rage Against the Machine challenging people to think for themselves again, 2007 might actually shape up to be a decent year in the world of music.
