Anything by Samuel Francis is worth your time to read. I have often linked to essays by him on the subject he coined a term for: anarcho-tyranny. Here’s another one, one that may explain a bit about the real Bush Derangement Syndrome that Fifi Bush, Felipe Calderon’s lapdog, seems to suffer from (as opposed to the psychological condition of the rabid left that goes by the same name). Or not so much suffer from as cause the rest of us to suffer from. *sigh* A sample:

…the central rule of anarcho-tyranny, the system of government under which we now live, is that if you can’t or won’t punish the guilty, criminalize the innocent and punish them.

Under anarcho-tyranny, criminals aren’t punished (which is why it’s anarchy), but the innocent are (which is why it’s tyranny). The Bush Administration seems determined to develop this insanity to a state of perfection.

Sadly, you can no longer email Samuel Francis, as the VDARE page I link to suggests, since he passed away a couple of years ago. But do go read his essays on the dangers of the system of government we now live under.

Any of y’all who’ve owned a (older) Jag or other Brit car that used Lucas electric parts will LOL at this site. I did. Over and over and…

Sample:

Back in the 70’s, Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which did not suck.

Q: Why do the British drink warm beer? A: Because Lucas makes their refrigerators

Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone.Thomas Edison invented the Light Bulb. Joseph Lucas invented the Short Circuit.

My mind blanks on the number of times I disassembled and completely rebuilt, using off-the-shelf electrical parts, the Lucas electrical components on a ’72 XJ12 as they failed one by two by three by… *heh* (Well, Jags are Fords now. Strangely, that’s an improvement in many ways.. But I’m still not buying another one.)

UPDATE (already): for those who’ve been driven batsh*t by their Haynes manual (yeh, I’m a serial masochist: I have a collection of the things) this is a must-read. A collection of LOL hilarious, “I only laugh cos it hurts so much,” info on the (in)famous series of car manuals.

Sample:

HAYNES GUIDE TO TOOLS OF THE TRADE
HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer is nowadays used as a kind of divining rod to locate expensive parts not far from the object we are trying to hit.
