- But I Don’t Wanna Grow Up: When Is Old Enough, Old Enough? [Reader Post] March 20, 2010
  I am not a parent. I do not profess to know what it takes to raise a child, the sacrifices required, the patience necessary. I can only imagine that the goal of all this time and effort is to instill your values and then send your mini-me out into the world to work hard, earn their place among their peers, and make you proud. Unfortunately, the notion of whe […]
- January '10 E-Book Sales Almost Quadruple January '09 March 19, 2010
  If your head is still spinning after 2009's triple digit growth rate, you'll need a clamp to steady your skull when you read that January 2010 e-book sales posted a nearly 370% jump over the same month in 2009, according to the International Digital Publishing Forum and the Association of American Publishers. The numbers are $31,900,000 for January […]
- How to Convert EPub Books for use on Kindle March 15, 2010
  There are all these great free eBooks on the Web in EPub format, likeat Google Books, but your Kindle supports a bunch of other file types--Kindle (AZW), TXT, PDF, Audible (Audible Enhanced (AA, AAX)), MP3, unprotected MOBI, PRC natively; HTML, DOC, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP through conversion, according to Amazon's Website. So what do you do if you want to r […]
- Rep. Paul Ryan’s Wash. Post Op-Ed on Health Care March 16, 2010
  This impressive GOP rising star continues to earn the title I conferred on him last month: “The Conservative Antidote to Obama!” As the health care farce on Capitol Hill enters it’s final hours, it’s good to hear that common sense, honesty and workable alternatives are still alive in the GOP. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has an op-ed in the Washington Post in which […]
- Don't Believe the E-book Skeptics March 8, 2010
  Originally posted at the Huffington PostSlate's technology writer Farhad Manjoo recently wrote a very interesting article about some off-base predictions of yore about our digital future. He focuses on a whopper of a Newsweek column from 1995 (which is actually titled "The Internet? Bah!") about how the Internet would be a passing fad because, […]
- The Great Burger Battle March 9, 2010
  Sports bore me but I can’t get enough of the great burger battle. McDonald’s reported sales increases of 4.8 last month. Most of the increases are overseas but it is no surprise that its domestic sales are solid as can be.Their new coffees, which now include frozen drinks, are a close competitor to Starbucks, and in buying them you don’t have to endure a lec […]
- It's About Government, Not Health Care -- By: Mark Steyn March 6, 2010
  So there was President Obama giving his bazillionth speech on health care, droning yet again that “now is the hour when we must seize the moment,” the same moment he’s been seizing every day of the week for the past year, only this time his genius photo-op guys thought it would look good to have him surrounded by men in white coats. Why is he doing this? Why […]

- Obama 2007 – ObamaCare Needs Billions In Tax Hikes & Must Be Supported By The People February 28, 2010
- When Responsibility Doesn't Pay -- By: Mark Steyn February 27, 2010
  While Barack Obama was making his latest pitch for a brand-new, even-more-unsustainable entitlement at the health-care “summit,” thousands of Greeks took to the streets to riot. An enterprising cable network might have shown the two scenes on a continuous split-screen -- because they’re part of the same story. It’s just that Greece is a little further along […]

Why people need to start thinking about all this more carefully.

He’s not Superman. People will not be wearing t-shirts with his face on it for the next 4 years. America did not just awaken after a long slumber. This is no dawning of a new age. This is America, version 44. Not 2.0. Or 2.1. We’ve been doing this a long time.
Some of us don’t [...]
