Atlas Shrugs is on Political Pistachio Radio Tonight! She will unashamedly tell us what to do in the face of this Islamization! She minces no words. Be prepared for Atlas Shrug.
News broke this morning that William F. Buckley Jr. had passed on. With great sadness and a deep appreciation for all that he did to organize conservative thought in America, Political Vindication sends our prayers to his family in their grief and to God in his keeping. We all live our lives striving to leave behind a legacy that endears us to our peers and the Angels that watch over us - Mr. Buckley leaves a legacy so stunning and consequential that it stands as a Red Sea parted in perpetuity. Let’s all take some time today and read some of his thoughts, and re-dedicate ourselves to fighting for the conservative principles he taught us.

PS, To those of you asking, it’s “Spring” BlogFest because if it’s a success we might have another one later in the year, and “East” because I don’t know of any other in the region, but I may be wrong. If there’s another BlogFest in Spring in the East, we might change the name to “Spring BlogFest NJ”, or even more specific, “Spring BlogFest Princeton”.
How to get to Princeton:
Princeton has its own (small) airport, but you can also fly into Philadelphia and drive into Princeton (apprx. 1 1/2 hr drive), or fly into Newark Airport and take NJ Transit to Princeton Junction and change to the train to Princeton.
NJ Transit runs trains from Philadelphia and New York City. You can also use Amtrak from locations in the East.
For driving directions, here’s how to get to Triumph Brewing Co.
One of the best things about blogging is the excellent people you come in contact with. As I have repeatedly said, Siggy, who I have never met and don’t even know what he looks like, has been a most supportive friend of my blogging and podcasting. Shane Borgess of (link has sound) Political Vindication and Political Vindication Radio also is another great guy I would have never come across if it weren’t for blogging and am honored to count him as a friend.
(You can see that Shane is very handsome. If you want to know what Siggy looks like, ask him.)
Yesterday Siggy and Shane discussed how we create men and women in our society. Shane asked Siggy the question, “What do you see as the nature of a man?”
This is not a trivial question. The answer to how we see as the nature of a man defines how we as a society raise our childen, behave in every relationship (be it familial, professional, or sexual), and what we expect from other societies.
Siggy explained that men want to protect and solve problems. Women want to communicate: with great nuance when they raise children, and in a protective way. Shane said, “Men want to solve problems, women want to talk about them”. Shane also saw independence as another factor in men’s nature.
Do men want monogamy? What are the conditions for monogamy? Do men want to be idealized by their wives?
Is there such a thing as love as first sight?
You must listen to the entire podcast.
My special thanks to Shane and Siggy for having this wonderful conversation.
