Jean Meslier, my favorite priest
French Economist Frederick Bastiat would have told Jean Meslier that if every peasant could have personal plots to raise food and/or shops to sell desired goods and ply desired skills and trade them with each other and others abroad, they wouldn’t be in thrall to either priests or lords.

According to the wiki page, the fishing lure originated in Pennsylvania. But Southerners use the term Wooly-Booger for any excessively hirsuted person, animal, or thing.
“Booger,” by itself, was popularized on radio by WKRP’s Johnny Fever, over objections of Mr. Carlton. Between Dr. Johnny Fever and Crow T. Robot and diffusion of radio…[Read more]

Sunday School 3 months, 1 week agoWooly bugger is an artificial fly used in fly fishing. I think it mainly imitates a minnor or some acquatic creature and is effective for both trout and salmon.

Sunday School 3 months, 1 week agoIn college a history professor challenged the class to identify an atheist who was kicking around 1700. He was more than a little surprised when i raised hand and told him about Meslier. Had read about him in one of Will and Ariel Durant’s books.
Ya know it just goes to show ya we are not created equal. Far from it. As much as i drone on in…[Read more]

Sunday School 3 months, 1 week agoI had heard of ‘wooly buggers’ before, up near Helen, in northern GA. Is it a Southern term? I often walk along the banks of the Chattahoochee and see fishermen there too. Never heard the term in Ireland in relation to fly-fishing for trout. Not my scene but big with some locals and tourists.
Anyway….I hope Loomer gets herself further…[Read more]

Schumer falsely claimed America’s founders called the country “God’s noble experiment”.
A God wouldn’t need an “experiment,” since He would know the results in advance and could change the results anyway.
Of course, Chuck Schumer was the one who put the cheese on his grilling raw burgers before they were done. Please, Chuck, leave that to…[Read more]

In this Host Segment from Jungle Goddess, Joel and the Bots take on both Racism and Imperialism. From Europe’s Molasses, Rum, and Slaves to the U.S.A’s “Manifest Destiny,” to Red China’s “Belt and Road Initiative,” to Islam’s Global Jihad, not enough has changed for the better about our species. Nevertheless, Joel doesn’t…[Read more]

It’s just so damned amazing that Woke Right types profess such concern for the decline of the West, yet know so little of Western culture and history!
