Stupid Jimmy Carter, Ruining all my Dreams

So, this town in Vermont decided to cover their entire municipality with a dome back in 70’s in an effort to avoid paying heating costs. Now, I’m not exactly sure how they thought they could avoid the wrath of Old Man Winter by hiding under some plexiglass, but they developed a plan to turn the town into a perpetual midsummer festival. Then they applied for some government money to study its feasibility, and that red-necked peanut farmer turned them down personally, and thus quashed another one of my dreams.

Cabbage, Mussels, and Basil Oil, a Cure for Cancer?
No, decidedly, and without equivocation, no. This was the claim of a would-be naturopath, sexual offender, and charlatan Swedish “doctor” who was apprehended recently on charges of administering this concoction to cancer patients in exchange for huge sums of Swedish Kronas. One would think that in an age of science, after centuries of witchdoctor […]
I Figure a Month of Silence is Enough
I have been back in school, and it has taken up a good deal of my time, and I have found the time I don’t spend studying or working, I really don’t want to write a blog entry. But I recently read an article that so inspired me, I could no longer contain myself. My [...]
Samurai Vigilantism
Every man is the king of his castle, or in the case of one Johns Hopkins University student, Daimyo of his yamashiro. After hearing a commotion he rushed downstairs, samurai sword in hand, and with one deadly blow dispatched his victim in a pool of blood and entrails. Of course the police promptly arrested the [...]
