York city wants to abolish one way streets.

by Maddog on Jun.16, 2009, under News

Once upon a time York had all two way streets then as the city was growing some wise leaders decided to make the main streets in York, one way.

More details can be found at the york blog

Notice the reason for the change to one way: “Reduce complications at intersections, fewer turns are made and most of these can be made without crossing in front of traffic.” -”Double parked vehicles and other obstructions can be by-passed.” -”Slower moving traffic can be put into a lane of its own and by-passed by (continue reading…)

Helping the homeless stay homeless

by Maddog on Jun.13, 2009, under Looters

Helping the homeless stay homeless, while subsidizing independently wealthy real estate speculators and rent seekers.

There is always going to be homeless because of mental illness, and to a lesser extent business failures.  However in a free market where people are allowed to succeed or fail without government interference, those entrepreneurs learn from their mistakes and eventually pull themselves up by their bootstraps.  The fiery furnace of the free market tempers the blade of innovation.  Hence the allowance of those temporary failures eventually leads to a higher standard of living for the average member of civilization

Here is the problem.  There are those who are using the government as a tool to guarantee profits and success for themselves.  This eventually leads to a reduction in the standard of living for the average member of civilization as a whole.

Congress votes to give FDA power to regulate tobacco & nicotine

by Maddog on Jun.12, 2009, under Politics

Source : My Way News

Thursday’s legislation gives the FDA power to evaluate the contents of tobacco products and to order changes or bans on those that are a danger to public health. The agency could limit nicotine yields but not ban nicotine or cigarettes.

Ok so they are allowing the slaves some vices, i. e. they won’t allow the FDA to outright ban it….. YET.

The nation’s largest tobacco manufacturer, Philip Morris, USA, has come out in support of the legislation. Its parent company, Altria Group, said in a statement that on balance, “the legislation is an important step forward to achieve the goal we share with others to provide federal regulation of tobacco products.” (continue reading…)

Another crooked cop gets away with manslaughter

by Maddog on Jun.10, 2009, under Police

I was going to say he got away with murder however, based I what I know of the case, it is at least manslaughter.

Sometime I’m going to write and article about how prosecutors stack the jury pool until it is made up mostly of relatives of law enforcement.

“CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, New Jersey–Late Monday afternoon jurors in the case of New Jersey vs Robert Higbee found the state trooper not guilty of vehicular homicide in the deaths of Jaqueline and Christina Becker.

Underdog Militia’s server was down

by Maddog on Jun.10, 2009, under News

Unfortunately the server that hosts underdogmilitia.net went down sometime Tuesday night (June 9), and was down until I discovered it at about 2:30 am on June 10, 2009.

This also had the effect of shutting down my email service, so any emails sent during that time was most likely lost.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Five Guys Burgers & Fries Reloaded

by Maddog on Jun.07, 2009, under Food

If you read my last post about Five Guys Burgers and fries forget about it.

Saturday I got hit with burger cravings.  So I remembered that when I went there last time it took them about ten mins to cook my burger and fries. So I decided to call ahead of time.  I called at exactly 6:26 pm.  I know this because that is the time that is on the printed receipt when I picked up the food. It almost matched the time on my watch (6:25 pm).  The person who answered the phone told me the food would be reading in about 10 minutes.

Now I get there exactly 10 minutes after I called.  Yes I planned it that way.  At that point I had to wait another 5 minutes for my food.   And the food was not worth the high price.   Since I ordered two burgers and two fries, it became much more clear to me how overpriced the food was. You see, last time I only ordered one of each so I didn’t see my error. (continue reading…)
