Top 10 All-American Food Myths: What You Don’t Know About Our Food Chain Will Shock You

Building a civil economy by Adrian Pabst (EB)

I thought it was interesting that Vox refers to Ugo Bardi - Complexity and the fall of empires I. I can't recall if he's discussed peak oil.

The mayor of Boston is making life difficult for Chick-Fil-A: Michelle Malkin, Hey, Boston: Leave Chick-fil-A Alone. Looks like he's not the only one: Chicago Alderman to Chick-fil-A: No deal

Chick-Fil-A is still a chain and not an ideal form of business organization for many reasons. The company probably relies on CAFOs for its chickens. Let those politicians seeking to impose their PC values on the company do so; give those who support a more traditional view of morality their own space and leave them alone, then. It's unfortunate that the LoS and other organizations are not that effective in building up regional identities and independence.

So the Muppets are now being used as a front for PC causes? It's time to do away with mass entertainment, now matter how much we may have enjoyed it as children. Hicks: Muppets break ties with Chick-fil-A over gay marriage

Opponents can't stomach Chick-fil-A's plans in Mountain View

Going, going...

Given the personnel changes in the past year or so and the appearance of more fluff on its website, Taki's Mag has been in danger of becoming irrelevant to "alternative" conservatives. Now, can we say that the alteration in its appearance is the final nail in the coffin? I don't think Taki would want to see this as his legacy, but did he not pass the website off to his daughter? Some serious articles are posted on the homepage, but it is difficult to get past the top banner and the colors of the font.




Even if those who operate the website wanted to convey the sense of an cocktail social, couldn't they have used a visual aesthetic more appealing to men? With all those male Mad Men fans, it wouldn't have been difficult to go retro in that way.

Tears of a Clown by Taki Theodoracopulos

Emotional incontinence has turned men into wimps. The new man has to be caring and unafraid to burst into tears. But I’ve got news for you. It’s all a sham. Good men were and are caring without having to show it. Stoicism and emotional restraint are superior to cheap histrionics. Touchy-feely types are like Clinton, a dime a dozen, and as dishonest as they come.

Taki echoes Theodore Dalrymple.

An oldie from the good doctor: No one tips their cap any more.
