    No "27" news would be complete without a mention of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin..OK, it's not new news, exactly.

    Maybe you should discuss this as a guest on the George Noory/Art Bell show.

    Good idea. I'm reminded of the guy who woke up one day and heard a voice in his head saying:

    "Quit your job, get all your money from the bak and go to Vegas. Quit your job, get all your money from the bak and go to Vegas. Quit your job, get all your money from the bak and go to Vegas. Quit your job, get all your money from the bak and go to Vegas."

    He ignores the voice but it won't go away, so finally he quits his job, withdraws all his money from the bank and flies to Vegas.

    When he gets off the plane the voice says "Go to Caesar's Palace. Go to Caesar's Palace. Go to Caesar's Palace." So he goes to Caesar's Palace.

    The voice says "Put all your money on red 27. Put all your money on red 27." So he puts all his money on red 27. The wheel spins...and comes up black 13. The voice says "Fuck."

    Joplin and Hendrix both died at age 27.

    I remember that '23' used to be the big freaky number. It was in like Robert Anton Wilson books. That was a few decades ago. Clearly we are making progress.

    23 is freaky. 27, on the other hand, is a number the whole family can enjoy reading about in the news.

Misc. Hate

A Mustiphino has been spotted wandering the halls of Congress. The deranged babblings of an SPLC apparatchik inspired me to coin the word hatefact . Hatefacts are unquestionable facts about immigrants , blacks , women , homosexualists , et al., that the SPLC and those sharing its ideological inclinations deem “hate” or “hateful” to mention. UPDATE: It seems I unwittingly stole the idea for the word hatefact from Peter Brimelow, who used the term “hate facts” in a speech last November .

Marginalia

Crying racism is the first refuge of the moron. Libertarianism is applied autism. If, as immigrationists often claim, the economy benefits so much from low skill workers, why continue to spend money educating native born Americans? Think of the economic boom to result if we stopped funding high schools and colleges in order to increase the homegrown pool of unskilled labor. I dream that someday in the far future the lost art of minstrelsy will be revived. Last time I was in a Las Vegas casino I noticed the hookers were dressed less whorish than the female tourists. Horse betting isn't gambling, it's pari-mutuel wagering. Successful betting requires knowledge, intellect, and the ability to evaluate and take risks. One learns that reality is too complex to be reduced to a mechanical system. It's a gentleman’s sport, of great tradition. When wagering you compete with other bettors, as opposed to passively sitting in the stands unthinkingly adulating various egomaniacal million...
