NEW ARTICLE: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOP?

Republicans are pretty steamed about the Democrats' vast expansion of the deficit and the increase in government meddling. They point the finger at Obama and his activist administration. But the recent GOP-led government wasn't so Simon-pure itself. In fact, they behaved a lot like the Democrats, except with stricter morals. Let's find out just how this fiasco came to pass.

JIM'S BOOK ABOUT THE FUTURE!!

It won't be "human versus machine" but "MACHINE versus machine" in the near future, as humanity watches from the sidelines while robots -- powered by artificial intelligence, genetic algorithms, and neural nets -- battle it out for the jobs we used to have... OR WILL THEY? Just because machines will soon outproduce humans in nearly every imaginable job category doesn't mean we can't still partake. The key is creativity, and Jim tells how he thinks it will go down in his new book, Are Humans Obsolete? Check it out!

TIGER WOODS VS. THE MEDIA

Jim thinks the Press is hounding Tiger Woods. They insiste he must 'fess up with details of his infidelities. But doesn't that merely serve their interests, not his or ours?

HAVE JIM SPEAK AT YOUR MEETING!

Jim takes a jaundiced and humorous look at our "society of adolescence" and warns us to wake up and prepare so we don't get left behind when robots and computers start doing everything better than we can. Based on his book Are Humans Obsolete?, Jim takes audiences on high-speed odysseys through the topics of Creativity, Science vs. Religion, Why the Big Things Don't Work (and How You Can Benefit), and the Three Futures of Employment. You can book him right this minute by clicking HERE!

JIM'S SHORT STORY ONLINE!

It's called "Gravity" and it's sci-fi! A cub reporter sneaks behind rebel lines as the Asteroid Belt, out beyond Mars, declares its independence and prepares to fight. Our embedded journalist travels from the wild-west world of the Asteroid miners to the deadly realm of space battle cruisers at war. It's high adventure in the future, and it even has a POINT! Better still, it's only FORTY-NINE CENTS!!! Goodness, that's cheap. GET IT HERE.

THE ARTS! Jim thinks he's a critic! He's got opinions about films, books, fine art, commercial art, you name it - stuff he probably doesn't know anything about.

CITY LIFE! Are there things about the urban scene that bug you? Well, by golly, they make Jim cranky, too! ...Plus other odds and ends about big towns that Jim just has to share.

NATURE! Jim once read a little Isaac Asimov, and now he thinks he's a scientist.

PHILOSOPHY! A university was lenient and gave Jim a degree in philosophy, just to get him out of its hair, and with that scrap of paper he passes himself off as a great sage. Hah! But you be the judge.

POLITIX! Watch out, liberals and conservatives: Jim wants a word with you. ALL of you.

HUMOR! You've probably heard these before, but let Jim retell 'em just one more time... Plus the Archives of Swami Jimbo!
