Two Years (By One Way of Reckoning)
Last year I recorded my first year back to blogging. I recorded the statistics at the time and set a goal to average one post per day. In the last year I have: 365 posts 1364 comments ~20,000 spam comments…

Incentives to Get Off Welfare
Another spinoff from the discussion about Equality Under the Law clicked a switch in my brain. Nothing that Anti-PC Infidel says in his post should surprise anyone who has seen the discussion already, but for some reason the following statement…
