The beer experts over at BeerAdvocate are quite a picky bunch when it comes to brew. For some time now, the site’s users have voted and graded all types of beers; from Russian Imperial Stout to American Double, they have judged it all. The results are constantly changing to reflect this democratic list of the top 100 beers and I, for one, am seeking out each and every brewskie on this list to put my two-cents in as well. I’ve tried about 20 so far and, let me tell you, God damn is Russian Imperial Stout strong stuff!

“And Zarathustra ran and ran
and did not find anybody any more,
and he was alone
and found himself again and again,
and he enjoyed and quaffed his solitude
and thought of good things for hours.”

- Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathusra, “At Noon”

“You lose yourself, you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
Alone you stand with nobody near
When a trembling distant voice, unclear
Startles your sleeping ears to hear
That somebody thinks
They really found you.”

- Bob Dylan, It’s Alright, Ma (Im Only Bleeding)

“My practice of war may be summarized in four propositions. First: I attack only causes which are victorious - and at times I wait until they are victorious. Second: I attack only causes against which I cannot expect to find allies, against which I shall stand alone - against which I shall compromise myself alone. I have never taken a step in public which was not compromising: this is my criterion of doing what is right. Third: I never attack persons; I only avail myself of the person as of a strong magnifying glass with which one can render visible a general but creeping calamity which it is otherwise hard to get hold of… Fourth: I attack only causes in which any personal difference is out of the question, and in which any background of unwholesome experiences is lacking. On the contrary, to attack is with me a proof of good will, and sometimes of gratitude”

-Friedrich Nietzsche, “Ecce Homo”, translated from German to English by Walter Kaufmann

Leading female therapist Dr. Pam Spurr makes an argument that I can’t disagree with: Women must learn to say yes in the bedroom.

I used to like Digg. It was a perfectly good alternative to Slashdot. The community was tech savvy - plus the stories and breaking news were interesting.

Then Digg expanded to include many categories. And Digg’s popularity grew. Now Digg is dead to me. I rarely find anything of interest though I continue to be one of the many that view Digg daily.

Next time you hear a kid whine about a bully, tell them to man up! According to a former UK government adviser named Tim Gill, labeling unpleasant behavior as bullying is wrong. By doing so you are preventing kids from building the tough-guy skills needed in this cold world. I assume Tim Gill knows so much about this subject because he was victimized time and time again on the playground and in the closet of his government workplace.

In some very cruel cases, you may be justified in using the ‘bullying’ label. In most cases, you’d be far better off taking your kid to karate classes and teaching them self-confidence.

Bill Cosby is one cool guy. Finally, a black guy willing to tell black people to take responsibility for their own damn selves instead of clinging on to the whole slave thing.

Many believe that George W. Bush makes decisions based upon religious beliefs. Bush has used the word “Crusade” to describe the current war. Some paranoid “9/11 was an inside job” suckers even go as far as to say that Bush wants to initiate a cataclysmic holy war. Me? I want four more years of Bush. I’m kidding, I’m kidding.

But seriously, according to a new research publication, it isn’t just Bush who may be thinking about the end of times - just about eight-in-ten Americans have no doubt that God exists, that prayer is important, and that “we will all be called before God at the Judgement Day to answer for our sins.” This percentage has only fluctuated a bit since 1987.

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we
comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and
mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under
our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us
to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement,
what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this
deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to
appear worthy of it?”-Nietzsche, the Gay Science, Section 125, tr. Walter Kaufmann

Let’s face it: Rush Limbaugh is a powerful man in politics. Sure, many people disagree with Limbaugh but none should question his influence. That said, on October 12 a caller actually got on the show and made mention of Ron Paul. Unfortunately Rush cleverly avoided any discussion of Ron Paul as you can see by reading the following transcript:
