San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick Is Just A Lousy Employee
Both the left and right have it wrong. I’ll explain both. The left is easiest, so let’s start there. They’re suckers for anything and all things that have any shade of besmirching the inventors and creators of all and everything you are: the white male of the human species. There’s no contest and apparently, even…Read More
How SaneBox Saved Me From 20 Years Of Email Insantity
It was about 20 years ago—1996—that I really began to use email more widely, taking it from more of a novelty thing to what became a mainstay means of communication, both in business and personally. It really didn’t take long for it to consume enormous swaths of every day. It’s a double-edge sword kind of…Read More
Jack Kerwick Gets It On The Muslim Menace
At LewRochwell.com: There is one decisive reason for conservatives and libertarians to vote for Trump, but it has more to do with the Trump candidacy, or what Ilana Mercer calls “the Trump process,” than Trump the person. For decades, there has been a virtual consensus across the political spectrum that “Washington,” or “the System,” is…Read More
AHS16 – Stephan Guyenet – Calorie Intake – A Cornerstone of Ancestral Health
This is an excellent talk by Dr. Stephen Guyenet at this year’s Ancestral Health Symposium held recently in Boulder, CO. It’s all about how caloric intake trumps all other things we believe are important factors for health.

You Probably Ought Be Done With Nora Gedgaudas and Lisa
A comment on a Facebook post: #AHS16 was rather fantastic, overall – or at least an obvious improvement from the low carb BS peddling that it was early on. Stephans presentation has to be one of my favorite this year. But the question is: Have you, by any chance, had a “clash” with this years…Read More

Roundup: Obamacare Death, Trump, Journalism, and Tax My Kids
Morning readings today. ~ Obamacare has gone from the president’s greatest achievement to a ‘slow-motion death spiral’ (Bob Bryan, Business Insider) My oh my. What a disaster, and all because of that hackneyed praise “health care,” combined with general economic illiteracy and ignorance of business. And those of us in possession of such competencies said it…Read More

On this episode, you’ll learn: A simple way to eat well on $10 a week Why adding vitamins to wheat might actually make it more fattening Why all carbs are not created equal A…Read More
Braised Beef Short Ribs
I think there may perhaps be no finer, tastier, more succulent food than a nicely done braised beef short rib with the proper straining and reduction of the braising stock to a thick consistency. So let’s get started. For a review of the various ways and cuts I’ve done in the past, see here, here,…Read More
Pork Chops and Fruit, Home Chef Version
Well, for now, I think I’m a bit burnt out on the politics (to those who’ve been following the last couple weeks of posts). I’ll look for more opportunities to poke fun of the ridiculous in the lead up to the election to come. I thought I’d do an old-fasioned food post for once, and…Read More
LOL “News” — It’s What It’s Good For
What’s not news—or certainly ought be news to no one—is that everyone is biased, everyone feels a need to believe that their bias—unlike everyone else’s—is for all the right reasons—including, ironically enough, objectivity—and a big chunk of life is an endless struggle in seeking confirmation of just how sound are all of our many biases on just about everything.…Read More
