I marathon watched the Netflix docu-drama, Making a Murderer, last week, in what essentially amounts to The Life and Times of Steven Avery. In a nutshell: He was wrongly convicted of rape in 1985, served 18 years in prison, before being exonerated by both DNA, and a confession by the guy who actually did it; and because the…

Bibi Wilhailm: “Men of Germany, please, patrol the streets and protect us. Do this for your women and your children.”
That was an impassioned plea from a 16-year-old German girl. Bibi Wilhailm. Does that sound like a claim to entitlement to you; or rather, an invocation, a reminder of how things just ultimately are in terms of biological reality? How come she’s not pleading to Angela Merkel? How about the head of the EU, the UN,…
Laf and Laf and Laf with Pat Condell. Cry Too.
He’s on a damn roll, and I lafed more the 2nd time. This one ought make every white, red-blooded man look for the sharpened sword. What kind of life would we have, gentlemen, if we never had the enormous pleasure of wowing the women we decided we couldn’t do without. Goat fucker and women rapist…
Away thinking, reading, thinking more
Went away for the weekend down to Cambria, California, at the vacation home of friends, five miles south from where William Randolph Hearst gave it his best shot at monumental meaning in a west coast ranch-y setting. We did one of the tours yesterday afternoon. About 43 years ago, I toured the property as a…
Did You Notice Who The Muslim Menace Just Executed?
Let me give you a hint. “…was deeply influenced by Arab astrology, Neoplatonism, Renaissance Hermeticism, and legends surrounding the Egyptian god Thoth.” Any clue? No? Then how about this? “…went even further than the [] Copernican model.” Zip? Nada? Try this, then, the golden clue. “He also insisted that the universe is in fact infinite and could…
Something I’ve Been Telling You For Years About The Gut Microbiome May Be Wrong
Science calls… Suppose I had admonished you over these years that the science is settled, that there appears to be consensus, and that those who raise questions that put us steps or miles back are deniers…peddlers of junk and pseudo science. You might think me lazy, and you would be right. That’s why I’m right…
Plated.com: It’s “Mr. Wonderful”
There’s zero doubt amongst anyone who’s read this bog—that goes back a dozen years with an average of a post per day—that at heart, I’m an iconoclast curmudgeon with little good to say about anything anyone does, except for myself. Still, I always long for coming up roses; but, it’s so hard to find. When I…
On Vitriol and How Hunter S. Thompson Never Gave a Flying Fuck What Anyone “Thinks”
LOL: Banned From The “Christopher Hitchens Appreciation Facebook Group”
They’ll lie, like almost all of them always do, but it was immediately after I posted this: The Scientific Method For Dummies and Frauds, Like Richard Dawkins. This post is dedicated to the memory of Christopher Hitchens, a remarkable man; not for any idea he ever held, but that he was honest enough to change his…
On The Distinction Counter Conflation Of Western Elightenment vs. 7th Century Rapists, unchanged in 1,400 Years
Commenter Amy: The things I listed are not “ideals”. They are the VALUES that modern Western Civ was built on. They basically came out of the Reformation and then the Enlightenment after Christians decided that the Divine Right of Kings and the excesses of the Catholic Church were a steaming pile of shit foisted on…
Islamist Men: Virgin –> Rapist –> Gay
Just integrating wider from my virgin until rapist meme
The Scientific Method For Dummies and Frauds, Like Richard Dawkins
This post is dedicated to the memory of Christopher Hitchens, a remarkable man; not for any idea he ever held, but that he was honest enough to change his mind and tell eveyone why. This is a prelude, a foundation to a later post, where Tim Steele and I will call into serious question the…
One Picture Depicting the Uncivilized, Wantonly Ungentlemanly Trough of Pig Vomit Islam Is
A barefoot Syrian woman, carrying two babies, third child holding on to her, whilst 7 young men with shoes & rain gear couldn't care less.
The “Blame America First” Crowd Lacks Historical Perspective on The Muslim Menace
I got a comment in a post from a couple of weeks back. Hey Jackie, my point being that this wouldnt be a problem if it wasnt for the US gov involvement. But for you two to ignore the US Gov involvement is unbelievable to me. You and Richard…are you both saying that our involvement…
The Wife Unit Really Goes All Out To Give Me a Very Special Day
So here’s the final post—and I had no idea I’d be doing it—of the 2015/16 Holiday Season. Vacation ended today and Beatrice went back to work, via a 6am session at the gym with her new personal trainer. I’ve done a couple of other posts on this 2-week whirlwind, here and here, but this was…
Tim Steele Vegetable Pharm Wisdom
Just popped over to Tim’s place (you remember ‘Tatertot,’ right?) to catch up and had to share these three bits of wisdom, which I agree with wholeheartedly: Gut Microbiome – I have been quite disappointed that the research and discussion still revolves around identifying the bacteria responsible for different diseases and less emphasis is placed…
Let’s Start The New Year Right. With Food.
Those who’ve been around for years recall some of the more elaborate stuff I used to do. I haven’t managed to get a lot up on Pinterest (a project that’s a few minutes here, a few there), but a good bit so far, including some fairly creative though simple stuff. Remember when KFC came out…
Eric Vercuryssen Unwittingly Discovers Gut Bugs Help in Weight Loss
Well, I did have to tell him. It’s lovely to deal with ignorance. First, you have the cowboy I gave mention to in my end-of-year post. Apparently, those who just take other people’s word for stuff don’t fall far from the tree and so Eric posted this: I was 250lbs. 1 year ago, now I…
The Important Science of Probiotics Revisited
Most people who have been paying attention to the important and rapidly emerging science of the human gut microbiome (see draft Chapter 1 of my book here for a primer on its enormity: The Great Gut Bug Book, Chapter 1: Meet The Whole You) have some understanding the the role diet plays, and beyond that,…
