| WARNING: THIS SITE FEATURES ORIGINAL THINKING...Jim Croce once sang Don't tug on Superman's cape..., which seems like reasonable advice should we not wish to anger the supreme powers. We do have this duality in our culture: the Superman that is the state collective, the leftist call to a politics of meaning managed by the state, the deification of "we're from the government and we'll take care of you" - versus the Superman that celebrates individual freedom, private property, freedom of conscience, free enterprise, and limited government. We humbly take on the latter's mantle and, eschewing the feeble tug, we dare to PULL, in hope of seeing freedom's rescue from the encroaching nanny state. We invite you, dear reader, to come and pull as well... Additionally, if you assume that means that we are unflinching, unquestioning GOP zombies, that would be incorrect. We reject statism in any form and call on individuals in our country to return to the original, classical liberalism of our founders. (We're also passionate about art, photography, cooking, technology, Judeo/Christian values, and satire as unique, individual pursuits of happiness to celebrate.) |
Superman's product of the century (so far):
From American Thinker.
H/T Diana.
So, the Japanese cell phone company that has a monkey as their mascot made a new commercial. Some African Americans in Japan are playing the race card.
Here's the ad (now pulled from broadcast in Japan):
I suppose this means that the long used and revered (in Japan anyway) eMobil mascot must be abandoned in favor of militant PC speak. I'm surprised that one of the 'victims' didn't start talking about slavery - oh, right, the Japanese people never enslaved any Africans. Never mind.
Of course, no one on the left would ever suggest that a prominent public figure might be somewhat simian. Jeff Goldstein had a bit more on that a few months ago.
Obamessiah's reach is long.
Nobama.
In a last minute creative settlement, the city of Seattle fired the entire NBA for the moment - fired the owner, fired the players, kept their beloved team name, and got up to $75 million for doing it.
A new NBA team will play in Oklahoma City next year. But they won't be named the Supersonics. Seattle has until the end of 2009 to put together a new arena plan and rebirth the Sonics franchise.
The press is calling this a victory for Clay Bennett. Heh.
