I'll Roll the Dice
Unemployed single mom.
No, she wouldn't be shaking him down or being paid under the table for this.
But before I go full out and call her a liar, I want to know what this lady studied or did as a profession.
Something tells me it ain't petroleum engineering.
And I really am sorry ladies for all of you who were legitimately harassed or abused. I really am. But unfortunately there's just too much crying wolf. That is the drawback of abusing the system to shake people down. The real victims pay the price.
Post- post - something just dawned on me. If this was Bill Clinton, we'd all be cheering for him, right? I mean then it would be cool because he's a saxophone playing democrat.

The Educator
Marty Andrade is a buddy of mine back in Minnesota. However, he and I have a fair amount in common beyond being chums. He also had a conservative radio show. He also has a popular blog. And now we have yet another thing in common.
We are both authors.
Marty wrote a book and I know a lot of people just kind of say, "yeah, great another schmoe that wrote a book." but you may want to consider reading it especially if you are they type who like fiction and intrigue rather than bland ole Cappy Cap economics and rantings. I have not read it yet, but I did a little field research for him by scoping out and taking pictures of the town of Ardmore, South Dakota. Ardmore is a ghost town quite literally in the middle of nowhere. Without giving anything away Marty was able to write this town into the book, much in a "Last Man Standing" sort of way with Bruce Willis.
In any case, I promise the book will be more entertaining and perhaps even movie quality (which would be good for me because I don't like reading books ;)

An Important Predication for the Manosphere
I've been meaning to write about this for a while, but this will simply be a short appetizer as to what I'll write about at length later on.
As you know your Captain has moved out to the hinterlands of South Dakota.
There is not much night life out here and you ultimately have two choices;
Make the best of it
or
Drink
I've combined both options into "make the best of it and drink" which I think is a very Cappy Cap Compromise.
That aside, "make the best of it" means finding some kind of hobby or activity that is productive so you don't just go to the local bar and start pounding down booze. So, in addition to fossil hunting (which the weather is becoming less and less conducive to doing now) I've joined a gym and started taking jujitsu.
My bench press is up 15 pounds over the last two months and I've learned to throw a guy to the mat nearly twice my size (though he can still thoroughly kick my ass).
However, tonight something happened at the gym that reminded me of a very important lesson I think we all need to acknowledge and agree upon in the manosphere. And that lesson is that EVERYTHING we purport, support, advocate and champion is predicated in one simple thing:
That we are honorable, honest, well-behaved men.
ie- we are the "good guys."
If we're not, then the whole "Manosphere movement" (which I hate to call it that) is simply hypocritical because we claim to take the moral high ground, but don't abide by it ourselves.
I'm not talking "promise keeper pansies" here.
What I'm talking about is this idiot that I just ran into at the gym.
So I work out.
I get sweaty and dirty.
I go the MEN'S locker room.
I disrobe, take a shower, hop in the jacuzzi.
I get out of the jacuzzi, naked as the day I was born, my towel in the other room hung up on a hook.
A guy walks out of the sauna and guess who he has with him?!
HIS 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER!!!
I don't have my towel. Neither do three other equally-buck-naked guys in the shower area.
I (foolishly) assumed there would only be men in the locker room.
And this poor 3 year old girl sees all of us right there.
WTF!
Are you purposely trying to scar your daughter for life?????
Are you such a spoiled brat that you can't get a baby sitter or perhaps leave the child with the THREE WOMEN IN THE RECEPTION AREA WHILE YOU GO BATHE????
It's the EXACT SAME EQUIVALENT of the entitlement mentality of women demanding to breast feed in public or those moms who leave their child out in the car as they get drunk at a bar. SCREW SOCIETY, I am more important than society, matter of fact, my work out or drinking schedule is more important than my 3 year old daughter.
As I said, I will go into this point in more detail, but men. Honestly, and truthfully, we cannot behave like those we criticize. And I know and accept that there are going to be DB men, genuine "assholes" who treat women poorly, but the whole, entire concept of the equality of men and whatever undefined purpose the manosphere has manifested itself to achieve HAS TO BE PREDICATED ON OUR BEHAVIOR BEING HONEST AND ACCEPTABLE AND FAIR TO OTHERS.
Not only that, but if you see such idiocy, you berate men and get them in line...that is of course assuming you are not buck naked and there is a 3 year old girl there.
More to come, but you get the idea.

The Owls are the Hootiest
Recession Medicine!
"Fall Out 3" is one of a now-increasing number of video games that are starting to show they are not just about foisting violence upon society via mindless teenage boys. For aging video game connoisseurs such as myself who also happen to have a dose of economic education, you can also appreciate the "Bioshock" series which heavily borrows from Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged. So good was that series that I not only hope they continue on, but that they make a movie that could be a literal sequel to "Atlas Shrugged" (it would also prevent me from having to read a book and just watch the movie).
Regardless, as video gamers age and mature, you can see more intelligent themes or at least threads embedded within new video game releases. One such thread that I like and would like to share with you is a song by Bing Crosby that was incorporated into Fallout 3.
The game itself is actually a pain in the ass. They ammo starve you. They harass you constantly with mutant scorpions and super ants, oh hey, yeah, and you gotta sleep all the time, and oopos, did we just harass you again with those stupid bloat flies? When ultimatley you really are just wondering when the game is going to develop direction and if you're ever going to get around to "conquering it."
However, there is a music station you can tune into and they play music from the 1940's and 1950's. A song I NEVER heard of before (which is odd because I am the best swing dancing economist in the world) is called "Way Back Home" by Bing Crosby. The lyrics are quite clever;

The Next Most Popular Show
I predict it will be incredibly popular, if not the most popular show in the next couple of years for the aging 30 somethings.
It will perpetuate EPL Fantasy.
It will fuel rationalization hamsters everywhere.
And it will not produce one ounce of good.
And so the world will continue to spin, with nobody learning anything from history.

My Weekend Prediction of Herman Cain
It will come out that Herman Cain if he did have a sexual harassment complaint filed against him, committed the horrible sin of (GASP!)
ASKING A WOMAN OUT!!!!
or
PROPOSITIONING HER!!!!
It may even come out that over his life Herman Cain has asked out MORE THAN ONE WOMAN!!!!!
Honestly (and at least my guy has the cajones to do this) the best thing would be for him to state;
"Yes, I did ask that young lady out back in 1991. And yes, I would do it again in the exact same circumstances. Why? Because I'm a man and women better get used to that."

The Lord Will Not Provide
It's not like watching a train wreck. It's like watching somebody floor it into a brick wall. But it does provide for some entertainment.
A God Damned Puppetry Degree
For the Patron Saint's Name of Frick.
I think I will no longer worry about offending people's sensibilities when I tell them to not major in crap.

Haley Up to Bat...
Count is 0 and 1.
Catcher signaling to the pitcher.
Pitcher shakes his head. Doesn't like the 2-1 pitch.
Catcher suggesting a different pitch.
Looks like the pitcher likes it.
Pitcher checks the runner on first.
Haley waiting patiently...kind of hugging the plate a bit.
Been a good season for her this year. Batting nearly .400. One of the few female bloggers with such a high batting average.
Pitcher tanking a stance. Here's the wind up....aaaaand the pitch.
CRACK!
HOLY COW! She got a hold of that one!
It's going
Going
Going
It's GOOOOONE!
Good night to that one!
Haley is rounding second base and the ball is still gaining elevation!
That one is outta the park for sure!
Another home run for Haley. That makes it her 98th home run for the season.
Notice in the replay how she isn't faked out by the pitch at all and can see right through the pitcher. Tried to sink it past her, but she just read it like a book.
Well, you see Jim that's what happens when you try to sugar coat an article with something that just plain ain't true. Notice the Christian spin she put on the ball about how men don't care about looks and if they do, they're disgusting dirty beasts. And you know that if you try to get that lie past an experienced blogger like Haley, you might as well just pitch a straight fast ball right over the plate because she is going to cream it.

Well, When You Vote for a Guy Based on His Pecks
Why does the idiocy and drivel not surprise me in this article.
I would go on, but the article mocks itself adequately.

Damn Facts and Statistcs
Truth, as you know, is very unpopular today amongst the youth, the left and anybody whose entire life upbringing and self-worth has been based in lies. It's a topic I like to delve more into because I find it fascinating how resilient the human brain is to truth and reality when if you think about it, it's insanity to be resilient to "truth and reality." It's like saying, "I disagree with gravity." Or, "I don't like how electricity works." My favorite though is this trend where couples are bringing up their children "gender neutral" when it's quite plainly obvious whether their child is a boy or a girl. But never let facts (or a child's well-being) get in the way for psychotic, self-absorbed, political zealots in their pursuit of an unsustainable political religion.
Regardless, today's unfortunate fact comes from "Real Gross Municipal Product" figures. I took various cities in the US and created a Real Gross Municipal Product Index to compare how their economies have grown since 2001 (the data that is available). The cities composing the index are:
Commie Cities:
CHicago
Detroit
LA
MInneapolis
NYC
San Fran
Seattle
Cappy Cities:
Dallas
Fargo
Rapid City
Sioux Falls
You know, those stupid fly over towns where idiots live and carry guns.
Well gee whillikers and shucks howdy! The Commie towns have only experienced an increase of 10% in their economies since 2001 and those stupid morons in the sticks 30%.
Admittedly there were other towns I probably could have included, but this was just a quick 1-2 I pulled together (failed to include Houston...but I can't think of a lot of "Conservative Towns." Most are pretty commie).
Regardless, you hipsters in those big "cosmopolitan" towns enjoy the decline.
Us stupid fly over hicks will enjoy the incline with all of our stupid oil and low taxes and everything.

Men Are Intimidated By "X"
Dalrock once again reminded me with his post that in addition to my daily duties of Swinging Bachelorhood I have to occasionally dispense wisdom to you guys. Otherwise lord knows you would all be jumping out of tree and running into bushes. And we wouldn't want that would we?
He invokes The Word of Grerp, who should write a book (it could be like the bible! - "In Grerp's second letter to the Corinthians - "Be not a cumbersome annoyance to your husband, for he hath too much on his plate to deal witheth") which then prodded me off my lazy butt to address something I've been meaning to for a while. And that is:
"Men are intimidated by X"
"X" being one of three things that I can think of:
1. A woman taller than him
2. A "strong" woman
3. A woman that makes more money than him.
And I am here to put the kibosh on all three.
Not that men are intimidated by these factors and I somehow wish to "hide" this fact in a propagandist move. I am here to put the kibosh on it because all three are false. And nothing puts the kibosh on something better than the truth (just look at socialism, feminism, worthless degrees and the other tenets of leftism).
Here's the skinny in order of the three:
1. I don't know one guy, personally, who has said, "Oh no! Not a a TALLER woman! GASP oh GASP! You mean her legs will be LONGER THAN AVERAGE!? Horrors of horrors. How will I ever survive?"
Now, admittedly I do know of TWO GUYS in the THOUSANDS I have met in my life that did not like their woman being taller than them. This then triggered a banning of those girls wearing high heels.
But frankly, not only are these guys the minority, they are MORONS!
For the most part ladies, men care NOWHERE NEAR as much about the height of a woman as much as women care about the height of a man. Matter of fact, I think almost 40% of the women I've dated have been taller than me because frankly I want to be "that guy."
You know "that guy?" That short SOB who walks into the club with a tall drink of water that you can't get? The guy who everybody is thinking, "how the HELL did HE get HER!?"
Yeah! I'm THAT guy! It's great!
So ladies, if you think men are intimidated by taller women, eh. a REAAALLY small percent are. But otherwise, I'm sorry, if you're taller, you're just going to have to stoop to our level.
2. No, we are not intimidated by strong women. We are attracted to strong women. Women who work for a living, who support themselves. The problem is "strong" is confused in today's Moxie world with "loud, arrogant or obnoxious." Most of the girls I have dated who were truly strong simply demonstrated their strength. They didn't wave their finger, give me the hand, bark orders nor tell me every 10 minutes how strong and independent they were.
To put it in contrast in my 20's I would occasionally cross paths with a HOT young lawyer who was working at a firm a friend of mine also worked at. When invited out to various happy hours, I would have a drink or two, socialize and try to get to know this girl. It was like trying to warm up to liquid hydrogen. Every ounce of body language said, "don't you dare talk to me." She never smiled. She never would even say, "hello." The only way I would get any kind of conversation out of this girl was indirectly through group conversation. And ALL she talked about was making junior partner and how hard she worked and how nothing was going to get in her way.
Fast forward 8 years later, and I run into her at the local salsa club. This woman is now WAAAAY into her 30's. Still has that pissed off look on her face, still dressed in clothes that screamed, "I'm a super powerful woman and by god you better do what I say," and wow, is that yet ANOTHER aging 30 something woman without a ring on her finger? I didn't even bother to try to talk to her because I doubt she would have remembered me, but she sat at the bar
all alone
by herself
unapproached
and not one man asked her to dance (and this was a scene where very few men are loth to approach a woman).
However, this was not because she was a "strong woman" and she "intimidated people."
It's quite simply you could tell she wouldn't be enjoyable company.
First, what guy wants to dance with a woman who isn't smiling?
Second, if you get good enough at dancing, you get kind of picky with the women you choose to dance with. I prefer women that follow. Not those that fight and can't grasp the concept of the MANDATORY lead-follow dynamics of dancing.
Third, inevitably, yes, men will want to test the waters to see if there's some dating potential. Sadly "strong" has been corrupted to mean "difficult" and "obstinate."
I'll take a strong woman, not a poser who thinks she's strong.
3. You Captain is largely poor. This is a confluence of factors including (admittedly) his impatient attitude, his inability to tolerate politics and BS, a crappy economy and largely a dying work ethic that is being replaced with enjoying the decline and the evil forces of HR that are always conspiring against us like The League of Doom. So naturally the LAST thing I would want is a woman that makes a lot of money. I mean, that's what EVERY guy is afraid of! A woman with LOT'S of MONEY! I wake up late at night, soaked in sweat because of the nightmares I have of some woman showering me with $100 bills and buying me nice things. It's horrible, I've had to go talk to a therapist several times to get my mind right. I mean, if you want to scare a man away, if you want him to run for the hills, or if you're just looking for a crafty way to dump him, don't tell him you're secretly married.
No.
Don't tell him you have children.
No.
Tell him you have LOT'S OF MONEY!
That'll send him packing!
Sadly ladies, this is just another example of people in the media, politics and education circles telling you what you want to hear and not the truth.
Thus behooving the question;
What is more important, your short term feelings (in which case you can tell me how evil I am and how you know this ONE girl who isn't like that, etc.), or your long term happiness (in which case you may forward this link to as many people you want)?
I'm indifferent which one you choose, because there's only one truth. I'm merely entertained by how much of a fight people put up against the truth because their feelings are so fragile.
Enjoy the decline!

This is a confluence of factors including (admittedly) his impatient attitude, his inability to tolerate politics and BS, a crappy economy and largely a dying work ethic that is being replaced with enjoying the decline and the evil forces of HR that are always conspiring against us like The League of Doom. So naturally the LAST thing I would want is a woman that makes a lot of money. I mean, that's what EVERY guy is afraid of! A woman with LOT'S of MONEY! I wake up late at night, soaked in sweat because of the nightmares I have of some woman showering me with $100 bills and buying me nice things. It's horrible, I've had to go talk to a therapist several times to get my mind right. I mean, if you want to scare a man away, if you want him to run for the hills, or if you're just looking for a crafty way to dump him, don't tell him you're secretly married.
No.
Don't tell him you have children.
No.
Tell him you have LOT'S OF MONEY!
That'll send him packing!
Sadly ladies, this is just another example of people in the media, politics and education circles telling you what you want to hear and not the truth.
Thus behooving the question;
What is more important, your short term feelings (in which case you can tell me how evil I am and how you know this ONE girl who isn't like that, etc.), or your long term happiness (in which case you may forward this link to as many people you want)?
I'm indifferent which one you choose, because there's only one truth. I'm merely entertained by how much of a fight people put up against the truth because their feelings are so fragile.
Enjoy the decline!

The Godfather
OK, Cappy Cappites.
I keep getting hounded to watch the damn Godfather series.
Is it worth it, or do my spidey senses tell me it's another crap production from the 1970's condoned by pot-induced 1970's Hollywood's elitists with all of its Oscar winnings and nominations?
It really just does not look appetizing.

For obvious reason your Captain does not necessarily believe the bottom building block, but it is still interesting to see;

For the Patron Saint's Name of Frick
Long ago in my past there was a girl.
This girl was madly in love with me, and I say that not because I'm trying to brag, but because it's true. She was in love with me.
However, she could not reconcile her Christian beliefs with what I viewed to be a wonderful life.
My "wonderful life" I made quite clear was my future wife and I sitting on a beach, her in a french maid outfit, serving me a martini sans children gallivanting around Europe in a convertible eating at the finest restaurants and dancing in the Italian and French Rivieras.
Of course, she contested the french maid outfit thing and said and I quote, "And your views of the perfect marriage. Me just dressing up in a sultry lingerie outfit while you sit there and drink ALCOHOL! I can't think of anything more degrading."
Naturally it didn't go anywhere and she is currently engaged to what I am reliably informed to be a pansified beta male who is a "good church going Christian."
Now, lessons aside from the importance that women start to learn and acknowledge male sexuality for what it is, if they ever do decide they really want to have a serious chance at a happy marriage, the lesson to learn here is how to use Frederick's of Hollywood to your advantage men.
In short, Fredericks of Hollywood is an OUTSTANDING way to test whether a girl is worth dating or not. Understand women who like to dress up in lingerie, dress sexy, wear whatever outfits are SUPREMELY more confident in themselves and are more stable than women who view it as some kind of torture or servitude and whine and complain about it, OR use it as a means to extract resources out of you. The woman who just wants to dress up in lingerie for her own benefit, OUTSTANDING. The woman who wants to wear sexy lingerie to make you happy, OUTSTANDING EVEN MORE! You will find those women who are "pro-lingerie" are the ones you want to date (obviously), but not just for sexual reasons, but because of mental and maturity reasons.
There is however one problem with the Frederick's of Hollywood lingerie thing. You need to actually be reasonably sexy to pull it off.
Somebody tell the patrons of Frederick's of Hollywood that:

Time for Keynesians to Put Up Or Shut Up
Tracking Presidents Obama and Bush side by side and the economic growth experienced during each corresponding quarter an interesting picture is starting to form. Both inherited recessions (Obama more so than Bush), both got out of them, both experienced a marginal recovery, but right about now is where Bush got the "largest tax cut in history" passed through congress and Obama is going to flog the dead horse once again with his latest bribery/stimulus package to bail out idiot humanities majors from their student debts.
Regardless of where you sit on the political spectrum, Obama and the Keynesians have their work cut out of them. While marginally beating Bush in quarters 3-8, Bush starts to dominate in quarters 9-10. And if the graph were to be continued past where Obama is currently at, the growth doesn't slow down. It's now the 11th hour for Keynesianism.

Steve Driehaus Another BA Idiot
Steve Driehaus, a congressman who just lost his congressional seat is suing his opponent for "loss of standard of living."
Well Steve, when you're so damn stupid to get a BA and then an MA in "Public Administration" you, just like every one else, is shouting out to the world;
"I don't want to work a real job. I want to have a cushy government job or political career and tell other people what to do AND have other people pay for it."
You know no calculus.
You know no computer programming.
You know no accounting.
You know nothing.
You are a worthless human that has nothing to offer society or this economy.
And you know it. That's what's funny. You know that you can't support yourself, you can't be a real man, and so you must resort to suing people to get the money you need to support yourself. You could take your efforts and learn a skill or a trade and create something useful that society wants, but no, you're going to be an OWS spoiled brat and bitch and whine and hold your breathe till your face turns blue.
A question I ask my readers:
Is the "worthless degree" starting to show itself for the genuine threat that it is? And not only the genuine threat that it is, but how it can be used as an identifier as to who is not trustworthy to be in government, let alone any other position in the US bar a waiter at MacDonald's?
