Free Republic

More of a commodity than a currency.

And as commodities fluctuate so does bitcoin. There is a fixed number of possible bitcoins so there is no way to print a whole bunch and dilute those owning some. And with governments becoming gleeful with the idea that printing money is OK, the underlying principles of a entity that may be used for trade is sounding more interesting.

Hey nice shot man. Feel bigger?

Im missing something - a big big truck is compelling because...?

I thought it was a gag but its not.

Ok you got me.

Bitcoin sounds like something beyond super stupid!

Like holding currency that a government is printing is smart?

If govts cannot control it (and manipulate it) then they want it shut down. Good news is that the forces of liberty are far more creative than the grey suits.

Thanks for the response - but there are many stars out there and all could all be called "suns" - hence the term in CC's illustration "OUR Sun".

All the other big objects in our star system have a name - what is the name of our sun? Thanks, as you can tell its a non-essential that is bugging me.

Thanks CC. Impressive.

Is not the name of our sun "Sol"?

If so why is it so rarely referred to as such? For example, in that illustration would it not be proper to label "Our sun" as "Sol"?

Just one of those trivial things that occupy my limited and shrinking gray matter. Or is it grey matter? Does it matter? Oh its early on a Monday morning

So.. you have a crush on this Greenfield guy?

I do! I swoon whenever i read DG - not much makes me smarter these days but after reading a SK or DG I am less stupider for sure.

Bravo!. Thanks for posting!

Ok I scrolled thru their posts and yes about 1/2 have explicit references to their Gayness. But what if some of the others are not LGPTBGS but got lumped into that crowd - LOL!

Hail Sultan K - the man who evidently has no need for sleep.

Wow - a voice of reason in a lynch mob!

Bravo to you but as for me I would run from these foam-mouthed botanist wanna-bees.

Yet another piercingly-astute article. Thanks for the ping!

Every time I read DG/SK I become smarter. How many other writers can you say that about?

I suspect that he has a team of brainiacs that meet around a coffee table in the morning and hash-out these themes and they all publish inder Sultan Knish. I have no idea if that is true - but if all this is coming from one man sitting at the keyboard in a state of free association? Yikes I am so humbled.

We need a live thread for the meeting!

This is the one question that should resonate. It should bring folks to the capital steps with plackards and signs.

Let's hope it does.

Ok no age jokes here but... last month I put my eggs in the freezer. Yes I later defrosted them and the scrambled eggs tasted just fine. I will be paying more attention when putting stuff in the fridge.

Rain so hard last night in Jupiter it woke me and kept me up btw 2 - 3 AM. Sheesh!

At least put on a pair of Levi’s.

Hate to break this to you but Levis are so gay. Have you seen the ads or walked thru that section of Macys/anywhere? Levis of San Francisco is hardly manly anymore.

Punks. Thinned skinned to boot.

Agreed that Cruz, at this point in time, appears as a genuine conservative with a fine mind, adequate voice, and a strong spine. May he inspire other conservatives to stand and dedicate themselves to public service.

Fishing poles and gear. I bet those go fast too.

Bravo

Or maybe by magic. Or space aliens.

The big message here is that with increasingly sophisticated instruments and methods more details are sure to be revealed.

So those who project their personal agenda as to how all this became may want to pause. Or have to retract their hypotheses at a future date. That is if they have sufficient grace to do so.

It is a double-edge sword situation - asian women are the most likely to be able to play younger than their age. This is a big deal in films. So to have her actual age broadcast like that is a career-limiting issue.

But once it got out she had only the slimmest of chances of trying to get that genie back in the bottle. She's pretty and in great shape. Too bad hollywood is the most ageist entity of all.

My goodness - you are so incorrect on so many of those lymphatic “facts” i dont know where to begin.

Joey Heatherton. Sigh. and she could dance like crazy. She was on stage with Bob hope in Vietnam and was a whirlwind. The boys went wild. Hope was great too.

Lynda Day George - many 1970's TV actresses are under-appreciated in this list.

Must I have to do everythinggggg?!

Honey!

Yes but... the 8 YO girls around here look 19.

Miss PR is perfectly beautiful and might look good also in green.

Good post - my mom has chronic fatigue syndrome and I have pressed the issue that she take Famvir. It seemed to help last year during a severe CFS episode. She is having another and if she responds again I will be more convinced that the CFS is partially if not primarily caused by human herpesvirus.

Que Bonita - thin waste but oh those latinas have got thunder thighs. I bet her eyes sparkle when she laughs.

Bravo - each day DG provides a vocabulary for expressing the root cause of today’s issues.

60 seconds of my life wasted on this...

healthy gorgeous and smart

Thank you God.

Sweet!

These outcomes are being published in the Journal of Irreproducible Results.

agreed - i read every word of The Sultan and come away with more insight.

The Moties minded it.

If you are for legalizing heroin like Ron Paul you are not someone I want to be associated with.

If you are for using the government to coerse citizens then you have made a fundamental choice.

If we are free then we must be free to make stupid choices. Or is it just OK for government to coerce when it fits your idea of whats OK?

The Libertarian Party is a haven for liberals that want to use the force of law to establish their goals. This is NOT libertarianism

Bravo - as not all conservatives are Republicans not all libertarians are Libertarian Partiers. We gotta find a better name for those of us who feel passionately about the original liberals who founded this Republic and loathed government coersion.

So these establishment Republicans who kinda like that totalitarian thing as long as the government is pushing their agenda are just as bad as the rest of the Gimmiedats.

Libertarians are amoral, treacherous crypto Dems who must be purged from the Conservative movement.

Hey nice - you are the poster child for the divisiveness needed to keep us from being an effective force to counter the totalitarian left. You personafy perfectly the totalitarian right intolerant of those who favor the original premise of the Founding Fathers. Good job there.

yeah it was his son actually.

I second that motion. I’m reserving summary judgement until more evidence is presented. I hope those are freckles.

I regret that we no longer declare war on some specific entity, traditionally a country, and then go about destroying it. Now we have 'missions' where borders are irrelevant and the silent hand of death can visit anyplace, anytime, and with no consequences. Well OK then Skynet is US. Pop the bubbly.

I stand with Rand

Did someone say cheese?

The Sultan espouses George Washington's recommendations - leave them alone, don't get involved, until they are willing and able to cooperate.

John Kerry says "meh".

thanks for the hogwash.

Well well well my little droogies, hows ups for some horrorshow ultraviolence?

Sigh, Hey Louey, been there, done that.
