The Best Quotes From Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning”

Posted on by John Hawkins

Between 1942 and 1945, Viktor Frankl spent time in four different Nazi concentration camps. The experience was every bit as miserable as you’d imagine and then some. His family died, he suffered horribly, and he spent years watching everyone around him suffering and dying. Out of this came Man’s Search for Meaning. In the first […]

 

Israel, American Jews, American Christians and a whole bunch of other stuff too

Posted on by Bookworm

I struggled for a few minutes to find a clever title for this post that would convey the volume of information I’m about to download from my brain, but realized I couldn’t. A laundry list description will just have to do. You see, last night, I had the pleasure of attending a Hanukkah party that […]

Obamanomics: State Debt Shows A Looming Crisis

Posted on by William Teach

Obviously, the New York Times isn’t blaming this on Obama and the Democrats, yet, since Democrats have held the power of the purse and legislation throughout this entire economic downturn, and the Presidency for the past two years, not too mention a good chunk of the state legislatures, it’s their policies that create the problems […]

 

Be Weary of Politicians With a Sudden Change of Heart

Posted on by Brian Garst

I was quite disappointed in 2006 when Republicans slipped the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act into the unrelated SAFE Port Act (yet that isn’t stopping them from hypocritically attacking others for possibly using the same method to undo it), thus passing the liberty-reducing legislation without significant notice at the time. Government has no business reaching […]

Somebody invented the Goremotivator…and I wasn’t informed?

Posted on by TrogloPundit

First, there were the Sarahmotivators. Then, the Obamotivators. The Krugmotivator, and, just a trifle less disturbingly, the Smittymotivator. And, now: the Goremotivator. Via Grandpa Steve (who also neglected to inform me of this important development), Mind Numbed Robot broke this new ground in Automotivator technology.

CNN Takes A Stab At Why There’s Really No Job Recovery

Posted on by William Teach

Surprisingly, Bush was not mentioned. Instead, they find a different villain The problem with bringing down the stubbornly high unemployment rate is that employers are learning to do more with less. Employers still aren’t hiring enough. Just look at November’s disappointing employment report, which barely eked out a gain in jobs. Or better yet, look […]
