Meet Vermin Supreme, 2012 Presidential Candidate

Posted by Pete Berg on Friday, January 13th, 2012 at 11:07 am

The best part is, this guy actually got 781 votes in the New Hampshire Democratic primary. That puts him in 3rd place behind Obama and write-ins.

Mike Rowe on alarming changes in the U.S. labor market (the pussification of America)

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, May 12th, 2011 at 7:55 am

Mike Rowe talks about the alarming issue that the U.S. is shifting to a services based industry, where almost nobody knows how to build stuff or fix stuff. All of us are going off to get four year college degrees in soft theoretical/services/entertainment industries but don’t know how stuff is made or how stuff works. Sad, really. I agree with him 100%…and acknowledge that I am part of the problem.

I truly wish that this type of voting existed in America. Think of how many problems it would solve…the “first past the post system” is fundamentally flawed.

Doug Stanhope on overpopulation: “Sodomy is eco-friendly and abortion is green”

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, March 17th, 2011 at 1:48 pm

This is a message most people don’t want to hear, but it’s true. Our biggest environmental problem is there are too many fucking people on this here planet. Adding one additional person to the population is an order of magnitude more environmentally damaging than the combined efforts of every other “green”/”eco-friendly” thing you will do in your lifetime.

A few post-earthquake looks at Japan…

Posted by Pete Berg on Wednesday, March 16th, 2011 at 12:27 pm

In light of the tragedy in Japan, there have been hundreds of videos posted online — mostly of tidal waves, mass-devastation, dead bodies, and other sad things. But now, a few days later, the most unique culture in the entire world is already putting itself back together. For instance, unlike in any other country in the world after this sort of disaster, there is no looting. People are helping each other and already rebuilding, despite warnings of more earthquakes to come over the next month. Amidst power blackouts, searches for missing people and the on-going concerns over nuclear meltdowns, Japan is united — a thousand fold more so than the U.S. was after Katrina — and is already well on the road to recovery.

Anyway, here are a few recent Japan videos that stuck out to me:

Time-Lapse Animation Shows Japan’s Earthquakes
The 9.0 magnitude earthquake that struck off of Japan’s shore on Friday did not strike in isolation. This animation shows the true scale of this natural disaster.

The Flood
After the tidal wave, the floods began…which pushed boats and cars around like toys. The power of nature is astounding.

Tokyo, 3 days after the disaster
“I am reporting what is happening in Tokyo Japan 3 days after the M9.0 earthquake. There are no mobile lights, radio players, food, gasoline in stores… people are in a little panic.” Granted this is relatively far from the epicenter, but I was amazed at how orderly society is still functioning.

POWERFUL: Haitian Earthquake Survivors Stand with Japan
Some kids who survived the Haitian Earthquake watch footage from Japan, with a perspective that only people who have been through a disaster can have.
