I pledge allegiance to the supercomputer of the United States of Data Mining. And to the dictatorship for which it stands, one nation, under Obama, unencryptable, with tyranny and injustice for all.
A wise man (named L. Neil Smith) once said that without
government, we would be 8 times as wealthy. The government (at all
levels) takes half your income in taxes, products cost twice as
much due to regulation, and cost twice as much again because the
producers are paying taxes (on their earnings, on the supplies they
buy, and the employer matching portion of payroll taxes).
And what do we get in return? Roadz, wars, and a
prohibition-fueled crime wave.
A series of [in]frequently asked questions about me and this blog.
(I read an article in some magazine where the author interviewed himself.)( I realize that this may be frivolous and trivial but joviality and mirth always seem to come in insufficient quantities.)
You go by "Tim" for your internet handle. Is that an acronym for something or are you so lacking in creativity that you chose your real name?
My real name is Tim, so most people call me...Tim.
What have you hoped to accomplish with this blog? Have you accomplished it?
1. I forget.
2. Sure.
What's the best part of waking up?
Would it be: Folger's in your cup? [editors note: I just thought of another reason to stop watching TV.]
Your "about" page says things about hunting and fishing, what do you hunt and fish?
I hunt whitetail deer. I fish for muskies and smallmouth bass.

What was your favorite blog post (from this blog)? This one. On monopolies.
Which blogs do you read regularly?
My blogroll ===> You went without a haircut for two years. What did you learn?
Having short hair is boring.
With long hair you have an added element of interest in your life; its one more thing to think about an plan for. I would advise every guy to grow his hair for a year or more at least
once. Its a minor experience, but one where you'll get lots of comments
and people will look at you differently because of it.
The number of comments on my hair (when short) from girls: zero
The number of comments on my hair (when long) from girls: lots
My hair isn't terribly thick, but I determines that a daily washing with whichever Head & Shoulders shampoo and an occasional combing gave me good results. It should be trimmed every few months though.
Its been a month since my last haircut, and counting. You haven't "debated" the loons at the Huffington Post in a while, why not?
I always knew that meaningful results would be minimal, but I finally decided that spending a full afternoon was too much time. Awaiting responses takes time. They never responded to what I thought were my best comments. And finding the research to be as accurate with my facts as possible took time.
I may try it again once a few projects I'm working on see a bit more progress. Which places would you like to visit, and why?
Hong Kong - because its cool
China - because its cool
The Philippines - NN
Brazil - girls, peacock bass, and all the other Amazonian fish
Somewhere in Africa - girls and elephants
Elephants?
I'd like to shoot an elephant. It'll cost around $60,000 plus around $5,000 for an appropriate rifle (even though Bell used one the same size as the one I shot my first three deer with). And going through the regulations to bring the tusks back will probably shorten my life by a year.
This isn't a funny [in]FAQ.
I was in a good mood when I wrote the title and first few questions, but that's less the case now that I've returned to this post to add a few more questions.
How's selling your Nissan 350Z going?
Slower than I thought.
The offers I'm getting stink. What's with the offers at half the KBB value? Why would I trade my 2003 Nissan Z car for a mid 90's Nissan Z car? Why would I trade it for a Mustang (which is comparable in many ways, but worse in quality and cornering)? If that idiot can't sell his impala what makes him think I'd want to trade my car for his so that I could sell it for him? If he can't sell it, how could I?
I may never buy a non-pickup again. How did you move deer with only a sports car?
Dad, with his truck, happened to be hunting every time that I shot one.
I was hoping to shoot a nice one, strap it to the roof, and then find a girl to pose on the hood, and then take a picture of the whole thing. Caption: "I had a good day."
But it never came together.
My bow did fit perfectly in the back.
What's with the stupid blog title?
Spoot comes from a late 90's cartoon called Angry Beavers. They used it in place of expletives.
The summer gives us tons of ways to meet women. Bars and clubs are
the go-to venues for single men looking to meet someone. But they aren’t
for everyone. Luckily, you aren’t a slave to the night life when it
comes to meeting girls.
Here are some great places to meet women in the summer outside of
traditional bars and clubs. You won’t have the benefit of alcohol to
soften social relations, but people are generally more open, laid back
and needless to say, the women are wearing less clothing than in the
winter.

Some friends and I were standing at Qt Gas Station on 103rd and Fort
street on 5/14/13 around 2:15 am. We had just gotten off our bikes and
we all went in and bought some food and drinks.
We were standing there eating and talking when two officers pulled up
in a black and white Chevy Tahoe. I saw that the officers were looking
at my firearm that was on my side in a holster. I didn’t really think
anything of it because I have an open/concealed carry permit, so I just
went on with what I was doing.
I saw that they started walking our way, but I was still not worried
about it. The officers approached us asking everyone how we were doing.
One of the officers then walked in between all of us. The officer then
proceeded to walk behind me without saying anything more. He then turned
and said, “Who do you think you are?” then pulled his firearm out and
pointed it about an inch from the back of my head, like I was being
executed, and ordered me to get face down on the ground. Not knowing
what was going on, I did what was ordered of me.

Muslims have been rioting for six days in Sweden now. The official response it to "do as little as possible."
The police, which are disarmed like all good European police, are
following a politically correct strategy of simply pretending Muslim
rioters don't exist and hoping they go away. What they are doing is going after Swedes who try to defend their neighborhoods.
Now, I've got little commentary to add on how European governments got
themselves to this insane place. It does confirm, however, that leftism
is an incoherent system of taboos, not an actual ideology. Suffice it to
say that the political left is following its insane self-hatred to its
own conclusion. I hope that Europeans will realize their political
classes and governments are fundamentally malevolent and hostile toward
their own interests.
What we are seeing is what the collapse of European society will look
like. European governments are afraid of Muslims and, more importantly,
afraid of failing to hew closely to the egalitarian creed (the American
government, despite Obama's pantywaist approach, is not intimidated by
Muslims at all). Most people in Europe are more afraid of their own governments than they are of Islamic violence.
That situation cannot continue, because the Muslims are continuing to
escalate their threats of violence. As Europeans fear other Islamic
violence more than their government, it is providing fertile soil for
fascist street enforcers to rise. A government too weak to handle Muslim
rioters is too weak to handle other kinds of street gangs, and people
will naturally turn to whatever group they believe can and will protect
them.
The governments are too busy writing welfare checks to the immigrants.

I was skimming across the Wikipedia article on Ethiopia (Naughty Nomad's a fan) and I discovered the following passage:
In the beginning of the 1980s, a series of famines
hit Ethiopia that affected around 8 million people, resulting in 1
million dead. Insurrections against Communist rule sprang up,
particularly in the northern regions of Tigray and Eritrea.
For future reference: "lefty" politics = millions killed and starved. see: Ethiopia, North Korea, China, Soviet Union, Cambodia.....
