- Bio
- Minor pundit, major pain, conservative community activist, author, Christian and Texan, I believe all we can take with us is our character and that the train is arriving soon. As a conservative activist for seniors, children, people with disabilities and low-income families, my liberal buddies think I should spontaneously combust. Many hope I will do so as soon as possible.

Tit Won't Get You Tat - Mirror Diplomacy's Fatal Flaw
Modern diplomacy keeps reverting to a fatal tactic that anyone who has ever had a couple of kids in the back seat on a long trip can tell you doesn't work. It goes something like this:
"He's touching me."
"She's touching meeee."
"Am not!"
"Are too!"

Conspiracy Theories vs. Occam's Razor
This post assumes you understand Occam's
razor.
So which is more likely:
- That Muslim jihadists with low self-esteem, a crazy mother who thinks sacrificing their lives to the jihad is just dandy and a viable passport, who just got back from a veritable hotbed of terrorism … Read full post »

A merrier world indeed.....
Is anyone else besides me a sickened by the wave of conspiracy nuts exploiting yesterday's tragedy; swarming on the Internet like so many locusts descending on the fields of Egypt.
In the wake of things like the Boston Marathon Bombing, after all the hysteria, name-calling, blaming and inflammatory… Read full post »
Is There Really an External Reality?
Somebody posted a comment the other day on Facebook challenging the participants in one of those on-line pickup debates they have there, asking whether there was any external reality outside the mind. This was supposed to trump the more pedestrian absolutists in… Read full post »

Note to Progressives: Jedi mind tricks don't work on real people.
(c) 2013 by Tom King
I constantly marvel at the ability of Democrats and Progressives to lay their own sins at someone else's door. To her them talk you'd believe that Republicans started the KKK, wrote the Jim Crow l… Read full post »
Shifting Blame - Progressive Socialist Prestidigitation
Healthcare Corporations are buying up physician private practices right and left. Patients find that their bills almost immediately get steeper. Another case of corporate greed - Right.

Killing the Cross-Posts
Apparently, if you cross-post, the killer robots at Google and other search engines don't like it. Duplicate posts lower your rank on most search engines. Hey, I was just trying to increase the likelihood that someone will see my stuff, but I don't want it to cost me the paltry ad… Read full post »
