Wally Reemelin - Let's attack Rocky Rockholm and Make it Look Like Bruce Kranz Did It... (1 click)
October 11 2008
Wally Reemelin wrote the opposition to measure R in the sample ballot for Placer County. The Ballot argument was not well constructed at all. Now, Wally takes a title of Bruce's column a week ago in the AJ and uses it this week. I don't know if Wally was trying to help Bruce Kranz, but bombing Rocky Rockholm who endorsed Bruce Kranz at this time right before the election is crazy. My criticism of Reemelin is based on the fact that he bombs Kranz in the course of attacking Holmes and Weygandt.

Adherents to the "quality of life ethic" and those of a utilitarian mindset would have been quite content to see the little girl who is the subject of this story die, rather than live with the cognitive and developmental impairments caused by having half her brain surgically removed. Thankfully, her parents didn't see Keeley as being any less worthy of life because she would have profound cognitive and developmental impairments.

Back in the days of the Willie Horton ad and Jesse Helms' re-election campaigns, a healthy garnish of racial fear would almost guarantee an election victory for the offending party. Flash some dark flesh in an ad, allude to white girls put in jeopardy by the colored menace and you could pretty much start measuring curtains for the executive mansion. However, the demographics have clearly shifted around, though the Republican Party seems nearly blind -- and tone deaf -- to the fact. Conservati

There has been a lot of very sagacious advice offered by Venture Capitalists and investors to their portfolio companies in the last week. I’ve read them all 3x. Dogster, Inc. is not VC-funded, and we have a negative burn rate (aka are profitable) thanks to our putting as much focus on multiple revenue streams as we had on growing a great service. We’ve always been a very risk adverse company, which I suspect in the next year will be reclassified as a quite sensible company. But for all the d

One of the downsides to living in a major metropolitan area is the tourist industry. While tourists inject some much-needed moolah into the local economy, their presence — at least in large numbers — is not always a welcome sight. This is especially true when tour buses full of ‘em make pit stops in central business districts at lunchtime. Having an insane craving for a burger — which hadn’t been sated for two weeks — I decided to make the two-and-a-half-block walk to Fuddrucker’s on Connectic

Roger Simon has reached some conclusions on the media’s collusion with the campaign of Senator Obama that are particularly well stated: Ever since the first sound bites of the execrable Reverend Wright hit the airwaves, it has been obvious that Barack Obama is a less than candid human being. It was impossible to believe that a man who had spent twenty years in Wright’s pews did not have a pretty good idea of the minister’s vile views. You would have had to have been deaf and dumb not to.

Earlier, I wrote about how I legally qualified as disabled under the Americans with Disabilities Act because of my difficulty sleeping and (in the past) because of my shyness.  Amazingly, Congress recently broadened the ADA even further in response to whining by “civil-rights” groups that the law didn’t define “disability” broadly enough. Now, a prominent lawyer has concluded that being male is a disability, too, reports the National Law Journal.  “If sleep disorders and sex problems can be us
