I've done a courtesy search for the term spirit of di for you. See if you can find what you're looking for in the list below:

• A Wild Animal Problem

  Being a right thinker in the land of lunacy (California, and the Bay Area in particular) has taught me to be a good loser. Since there is precious few of us willing to push back against the perpetual drag towards becoming France or Sweden, all I can do is prepare myself financially,all the while unable to avert my eyes from the slow motion car wreck that will inevitably end tragically. But I can’t say I … Read more

• The Spirit Over The Letter

  Last month I wrote post on the troubling trend of legislators tripping over themselves in the pursuit of sponsoring bills that adds ever more rules and laws into our lives. Not only are there too many laws now (many are just goofy) but the trend for their increase in numbers keeps rolling along. The impetus behind this is obvious, legislators have to justify their existence to get reelected, and the states/municipalities need the money garnered … Read more

• Whizzing On The Taliban

  We live in the TMI age, no getting around that. Video cameras in every cell phone and who doesn’t have a smartphone now? The fact of the matter is this, if you are out in public, anywhere, you have no expectation of privacy so whatever you are doing, factor in the possibility of it going public. There are some definite advantages to this, want to see naked pics (or a sex tape) of such and … Read more

• Leftists sloganeering fails real economics 101 test.

  Color me unimpressed. See, I knew that whenever we heard the left yell “No war for oil” or telling us that we should be stopping our dependency on foreign oil from terror enabling or dictator supporting countries, that what they really mean was “No fossil fuel, period”. And I am not surprised to find out that the academic class is stupid enough to make that obvious and undisputable, without thinking of the consequences.

  Yesterday

• That’s because they get it Part Deux.

  Manwhore issued me an infantile challenge to put up a post about education. I took some of his request and am writing about the value of an education vs. the cost to get it, and to make the point that there are no job guarantees. While doing the research, I came across a timely and telling story, in the NYT of all places, dealing with the fact, despite the NYT blatant attempt to spin this … Read more

• Making Indolence Profitable

  The good news is that it appears all that yammering done by the OWS crowd on the evils of capitalism, is just that, yammering, and when the rubber meets the road, they understand the value a buck as much anybody, whew, I was worried there for a while.

  The 99%, no, not this guy:

  

  but those Che wearing Mao quoting souls actually braving the elements (hey, it beats working for a living), have come up … Read more

• Tebowing

  OK, here’s the question, say you got a job but you are not very good at what you do (we will pick at random, oh, being a quarterback in the NFL), you got the support of your boss and your co workers and you are really trying, but not cutting it for the simple fact that your skills are lacking and sub standard, but instead of the usual grumblings and……wait for it……Monday morning quarterbacking, the … Read more

• Granny Got Her Gun

  The other day in my “Demagogue” post I let our vice president have it over his emotional tear fighting plea to pass his boss’s jobs bill using a worse then ,”Do it for the children” play, this was a ,”Pass this bill, or a criminal will rape, murder, steal your stuff” play. If only the real world was that simple. Sadly, the only real line of defense, no matter how many cops are on the … Read more

• WTF can go wrong with this?

  And by “This”, I mean the disclosure that U.S. officials have met members of the Muslim Brotherhood’s political party for whatever godforsaken reason. Lets take a look at this fluff piece:

  (Reuters) – U.S. officials have met members of the Muslim Brotherhood’s political party, a U.S. diplomat said, after Washington announced it would have direct contacts with Egypt’s biggest Islamist group whose role has grown since U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak was ousted. Washington announced the

• America’s Dunkirk

  At times I can be as cynical as the next guy. We have all witnessed examples of cowardice, laziness, selfishness, and evil intent wrt our fellow man. Maybe this is why when nobleness of character, integrity and heroism manifest itself in front of us, it’s contrast so easily commands our attention. But in times of need, when circumstances dictate an honorable response, I think most folks will do what’s right, so in this instance, there … Read more
