Sunshine Empire Asia Update

From time to time I like to update you on the situation with Sunshine Empire in Singapore. At the same time I decided to name my blog The Sunshine Empire in 2006 due to my being a Floridian, a group formed what by all accounts is a Ponzi scheme in Singapore called Sunshine Empire. [...]

The Sunshine Empire Is Now A Sovereign Nation

After reading the trend of Indianans renouncing their United States citizenship and declaring themselves “sovereign citizens,” I have decided to declare The Sunshine Empire an actual sovereign nation. We are now exempt from all laws and taxes because that’s what you do when your candidates in elections fail to win. Once politicians that [...]

Progress In Afghanistan: Will Republicans Notice?

I’ve been derelict in my duties to this blog the last couple of days for a variety of reasons. On Saturday I nearly froze to death, in Florida, as my dad and I worked to build the walls of a house for Habitat for Humanity in St. Augustine. During the Sunday political shows [...]

Pat Robertson, And “You Lie” Fund Raising

The news coming out of the disaster zone in Haiti continues to be grim, and the earthquake seems to have caused untold devastation and death. Yet as much as it is fashionable to mock and criticize the United States for its foreign policy, our altruistic tradition of assistance in times of tragedy is on [...]

Movie Sized Tragedies Just Keep Coming

I wrote at the close of the aughts that it seemed the decade was filled with disaster movie type cataclysms. We’ve all found that the topsy-turvy nature of things has continued into this decade. Earlier this week it was snowing and sleeting south of me, and I live in Florida. But in [...]

Our Changing Disaster Movie Of A Decade In Review

As we reach the end of the first decade of the 21st century the news is filled with not only year end reviews but also decade end reviews. I began this decade in a simple and unglamorous fashion. In late 1999 my girlfriend’s parents at the time were paranoid Trilateral Commission types convinced [...]

TSE Chat Room: Climategate Vs. Iraq War

me: I’m not arguing either global warming nor Iraq with you today, but I think you missed my point
Biggus: Your point was that the administration manipulated data in the same way the climate scientists did, when intelligence is nothing like a scientific pursuit.

I’m [...]

Conservatives Quick With Climategate, Slow Still With Iraq-gate

A group of hardened conservatives and the conservative media have been gleefully declaring the issue of climate changed to be totally debunked. Despite the fact that wide swaths of Republicans are believers in the existence of planetary warming caused by industrial man, many look at the issue of climate change as a liberal sacred [...]
