Proposed charter for the New Christchurch Book Club | Giles Writes
https://gileswrites.wordpress.com/2013/08/18/proposed-charter-for-the-new-christchurch-book-club
Proposed charter for the New Christchurch Book Club. August 18, 2013. A book should serve as an axe for the frozen sea within us. Franz Kafka. Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read. Groucho Marx. The following is an attempt to codify the rules for a new bookclub which will continue the legacy of the much-loved Popular Penguin Bookclub which lost its way after most of the members left Christchurch. 1 Book club is about books and what we think of them. 8 At t...

The Truth Vigilante: September 2011
http://joshholland.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 15, 2011. Abusing the Laffer Curve. If you can get a lot of people to repeat the same specious claim often enough, it effectively becomes “true.” Here’s an example. The Right can’t admit that their tax cuts will bust the budget and still claim to be good fiscal stewards. So, instead, they try to dazzle us with magical thinking: cutting taxes, they say, actually brings more money into the government’s coffers! In 2007, Time. Links to this post.

The Truth Vigilante: May 2012
http://joshholland.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 26, 2012. Thomas Friedman, Beautiful Artichokes and Weird Dreams. I went to the Yankees-A's game last night, enjoyed a number of very expensive beverages and some wildly unhealthy food. Some hours later, I had quite a bizarre dream. I was working for some sort of organization - it was a publication, but we were putting on an event of some kind. As is often the case when I remember dreams, these details are lost to the mists of the early morning hours. I asked. "Yes," he said, "that guy'...

Litbrit: The Rational Actor's Libertarian Fête
http://litbrit.blogspot.com/2007/11/rational-actors-libertarian-fte.html
Chaos, control; chaos, control. You like? Sunday, November 25, 2007. The Rational Actor's Libertarian Fête. The Phantom slowly, gravely, silently approached. From A Christmas Carol. The Rational Actor's Libertarian Fête. Come now, the ever-bitterer winter wind. Reminding one and all what season nears,. And with it come the needs and wants of friends;. The plight- the suffering! Told of distant spheres. Ah, what is there to do but shake one's head. And wonder at the choices people make? Come now, the ever...

Litbrit: The human face on which they stomped
http://litbrit.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-human-face-on-which-they-stomped.html
Chaos, control; chaos, control. You like? Sunday, February 10, 2013. The human face on which they stomped. We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm. - George Orwell. I read Christopher Jordan Dorner's entire, unedited manifesto. It is, at its core, the plea of a man who wants his identity and dignity back. Who accepts that if this does take place, ever, he won't be around to appreciate it. Who is simultaneously devoted to...Thank...

The Truth Vigilante: Why Naomi Wolf's Response to my Critique Is Largely Unresponsive
http://joshholland.blogspot.com/2011/12/why-naomi-wolfs-response-to-my-critique.html
Friday, December 2, 2011. Why Naomi Wolf's Response to my Critique Is Largely Unresponsive. Naomi Wolf responded to my criticism of her recent work on the Occupy crack-downs today, here. Hate to belabor this*, but I have a few comments about her response which you can read here. No I don't. I suffer from this sometimes debilitating illness. I think the next stop for your tirade should be http:/ crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/report-israel-occupation-forces-bahra. December 4, 2011 at 7:22 AM. Having over...

wingularious: Attempts to Uncover The Grand Unified Wingnut Fielld Theory
http://wingularious.blogspot.com/2012/05/little-background.html
Monday, May 7, 2012. Attempts to Uncover The Grand Unified Wingnut Fielld Theory. A little background. I was a Junior grade Astonomer growing up and learned my Messier numbers before I got to middle school and at the time harbored ambitions to study Cosmology or Astrophysics at MIT. Math got the better of me so for the short period of time that I was in college, I studied history, political science and psychology. The day before yesterday while reading a post at Sadly, No! Another from BJ. While dumb...

Straight Lines | Giles Writes
https://gileswrites.wordpress.com/2014/10/11/straight-lines
October 11, 2014. One of the most confronting aspect of moving from Christchurch to Wellington is that nothing is in the right place. More exactly, I know where things are and how to get to them, but if I try to imagine a map from the standard overhead perspective I realise that my mind has developed its very own projection of the city. Civic ‘Square’. 8211; but if you can imagine forcing the waterfront to be a straight line and determining everything else from there you’d be somewhere close. T...Fill in...
