Notes From A Dream In Which I Was An Idiot

by Smitty Halifax, Nova Scotia could need to rebuild the whole waterfront, if a new study floating the possibility of a 2 1/3 foot rise in ocean levels pans out. The really dreamy part was how the ocean picked up all the swelling in Eastern Canada only, while the rest of Mother Earth wobbled about […]

by Smitty The unflappable Ron Paul has been sporting camel hair and partaking of locusts and wild honey for nearly four decades now. Everyone ought to lay hands on End the Fed and see what dedication to a real cause looks like.

Let me point out a couple of bits that might escape if you for whatever reason. The title alludes to Joseph Conrad’s classic Heart of Darkness. This masterpiece (and I’m a tremendous Conrad […]
