SOLO-International Op-Ed: Corpseman-in-Chief Submitted by Michael Moeller on Mon, 2010-02-08 01:28
SOLO-International Op-Ed: Corpseman-in-Chief Michael Moeller With each new long, drawn out, and substantively empty speech, President Obama's silver tongue has revealed a brain of mush. Most recently, Obama referred to a Navy corpsman as "corpseman", since apparently the teleprompter has not yet incorporated pronunciations phonetically for Dear Leader. Nevertheless, I found the term a wonderfully symbolic moniker for the president himself, and not just applied to his intellectual vacuity, but rather to the entirety of his methods and goals.

KASS Music Gem of the Day: Albizotto (?!)Submitted by Lindsay Perigo on Sat, 2010-02-06 23:06
This phenomenon from the noumenon is usually known as the Albinoni Adagio in G minor. Which is fine apart from the fact that Albinoni (1671-1751) didn't write it; Giazotto (1910-1998) did, using, he claimed, an authentic Albinoni fragment. But don't fret about who wrote it. For this one I'd suggest solitude, darkness, headphones ... and high volume!

Freedom vs. Democracy Submitted by Kyrel Zantonavitch on Fri, 2010-02-05 02:18
The world today has replaced the medieval, Christian-dominated, Dark Age theory of "the divine right of kings" with the current, socialism-dominated, New Dark Age theory of "the divine right of the majority." This means embracing and sanctifying mob rule. This means democracy is privileged to crush freedom. This means "the will of the people" is allowed to legitimately rip asunder and trample underfoot the rights of the sacred Individual.
