Communique From Cabo
Yesterday afternoon—Sunday, while all the good football games were on—we had ourselves driven down to the border between California and Mexico by Bea’s favorite nephew. Actually, Beatrice has 10 favorite nephews, as well as 10 nephews. ….She treats each one of them as though they are the most important person to her in the world…Read More
A Very Tasty and Healthy Liquid Supplement
A longtime friend and business associate formulated this product, called REvitalize. It originally came in a glass wine bottle and was called Rushmore. The label included the images of four sports stars, arranged in Mt. Rushmore fashion, but in the process of getting it onto retail shelves, the packaging had to be changed. It comes…Read More
Round Two of the Jimmy Moore & David Duke Controversy
[For an update, please see: Lemons to Lemonade Documentary – Ed] I’ll open with a comment to my last post from Sean Abbott who blogs at Prague Stepchild. I find it pretty hard to believe that Jimmy has never heard of David Duke. I’ve definitely heard of him and I’m not from the South, but…Read More
Thanks Jimmy and LLVLC Readers for Making My Book #3 In 2012, Even if You Are a Neo-NAZI
[For an update, please see: Lemons to Lemonade Documentary – Ed] I never follow the crowd While there’s hang wringing all around me over the latest “neo-NAZI” to show up on the scene—none other than Jimmy Moore—I’m not buying it. I first got the word via a comment here by regular commenter “Eat Less Move…Read More
My German WWII Survivor Dad, Lothar “Lute” Nikoley on Food in a War Zone
When I think of how unlikely it was for my dad—born in Stettin, Germany (now Szczecin, Poland)—to get together with my mom—born in Oakland, CA—and parent four of us, it’s pretty sobering. Having heard many stories in my life of him scrounging food post WWII in order to survive, I asked him to write up a…Read More
Christmas Carols
…Courtesy of who my good friend and I always refer to as, looking up at each other in unison when he comes up in the shuffle: “The Terrorist.” The great and awesome Cat Stevens, a singer songwriter who’s singing and songwriting still send chills up my spine decades later. Timeless. Peace, like anarchy, begins at home.…Read More
Peace on Earth; Goodwill to Men, Etc, Etc.
Day of travel; haven’t really read any of the comments, yet. Tomorrow morning. Or not. Following the Eve festivities at the parents-in-law over in Vista, I’ve retired to our timeshare in Oceanside—newly remodeled, which is quite nice. A few spots of whiskey…and I think I’ll watch late-night infomercials for lafs.Read More

Drunks trash McDonalds over lack of healthy options
Too hilarious to not just quote the whole thing outright. Just for some lafs. Thanks for sharing, Jesrad. Memo to the Onion: you’d better watch out. This is pretty damn good. ANGRY Friday night vegetarians ran amok in a branch of McDonalds when it failed to offer adequate meat-free and vegan menu choices. ‘Spanish tomatoes…Read More
Would My Time be Better Spent Trying to Force People?
Until you’ve written about 3,300 posts over nearly 10 years now, read every one of over 62,000 comments and replied to thousands of them, you’ll never have my perspective on just how very difficult it is to persuade people. I had a college roommate back in the day who used to tell people that I was…Read More
A Modest Proposal to Protect School Children from Gun-Wielding Predators
If I was even more cynical than I am, more susceptible to conspiracy theories, what would be better than this? In 1990, the Oligarchy that runs everything worldwide behind closed doors, and with their super-human ability to keep secrets too big to keep for centuries, got together for a brilliant plan. See, they’re smart—they run…Read More
Arming Teachers and Administrators in “Gun Free Zones” (already a reality)
…Because predators didn’t get the memo Yea, I know. When are you going to move on, Richard? Maybe now. Yea, I know. This is so polarized, what’s the point? Biting social commentary is the point, always. Thinking is the point, always. Nothing out of bounds for consideration is the point, always. The Internet and self…Read More
Think Different; Solutions are to be found in the nature of the Human Animal itself
Living easy, living free Season ticket on a one-way ride Asking nothing, leave me be Taking everything in my stride … No stop signs, speed limit Nobody’s gonna slow me down Like a wheel, gonna spin it Nobody’s gonna mess me ’round First consider watching this 10 minute video of Piers Moron making a Morgan…Read More
The Evolutionary Deterrence of the Unknown: Newtown, Connecticut School Shooting Reflections
I had a lineup of posts I was working on Friday when the news came in, derailing those plans. For me, this sort of thing demands immediate social discourse, so that’s what I did. Don’t Worry: When Seconds Count, the Cops Are Only Minutes Away. For those uninterested in this debate and discussion, no quarrel with…Read More
Elements of Paleo Hitting the Dr. Oz Mainstream?
Toto, we’re not in Kansas, anymore The other day I was alerted by my mom, via her sister that Dr. Oz had Dr. William Davis on his show, specifically about wheat and his book: Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health. I’ve blogged about Davis and his…Read More
Don’t Worry: When Seconds Count, the Cops Are Only Minutes Away
…And what do you want to bet that when it’s all said and done with the Connecticut School Shooting, just as in the VaTech shooting and others, the pigs end up being superfluous because the gunman himself did their job? In other words, the pigs are entirely irrelevant; there, merely to stand in front of…Read More
Endpoint Reached: The Eventual Coronation of US Presidents as Kings
Good video. 14 Minutes, so longer than I usually like to put forth unless it’s me. 🙂 But I’m on my 4th watching of it, even Googling and Evernoting refs. But that’s just me. Feel free instead, to meander over into the thick of the herd where there’s a lot more shit on the grass.…Read More
Anarchy Begins at Home: The Blog Series Part 8 – The Quality of Neolithic Social Power
This is a blog post rendition of my 1-hr presentation at The 21 Convention in Austin, TX in August, right after I gave a 20-minute abbreviated version of same at the Ancestral Health Symposium, 2012, in Boston, at Harvard University School of Law. “Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political…Read More
Laf: 100% of Senate Democrats Vote Against Farmers and For the FDA
I’m not a huge fan of Natural News—not that I know a ton about it, either—because so often, to me, it’s tainted by the Appeal to Nature logical fallacy and has a conspiratorial bent. I could be wrong. Just my general impression as I never explicitly follow it. Anyhoo, Mike Adams pretty much nails it here: Freedom…Read More
