Midwest Chick's Place

Doing the right thing takes a lot of work, a lot of searching your heart, your mind, your soul, your motivations.  It takes strength of will.  It takes selflessness.  Very often it causes your heart to break because you’re not thinking of yourself, but someone else and what’s best for them, not for you. Today… Continue reading

I know that relatively recently, Tom Selleck ripped an extra on the set of Blue Bloods a new one because of improper firearms handling.  Today, I’m watching Magnum P.I. and notice that even during a firefight, Thomas keeps his finger off of the trigger unless he’s actually firing.  And he’s careful not to point his… Continue reading

So I’m having me my Chick-fil-A breakfast this morning kind of people watching and a young man comes in.  Kinda hippy-like–long hair, twitchy, backpack.  So I keep him in the corner of my vision wondering if he’s there to start some shit. He hangs cool, gathers his food, and then, on his way out the… Continue reading

Talked to someone today who was full of nothing but excuses about why a third party shouldn’t bear the consequences of not doing something.  Computer anomalies, vague verbiage, others not following the third party around asking questions (or wiping their precious little bottom).  All the while, I’m hearing this: Belushi’s performance was meant to be,… Continue reading

Really there is only one difference between Liberal Democrat mayors and Liberal Republican mayors: On business: Liberal Dems like Menino and Emmanuel:  “We don’t like your opinion, therefore you can’t do business here.”   *  *Note:  We will only discriminate against Christians because they won’t go all allahu ackbar on our asses and start blowing shit… Continue reading

So this morning, as I’m sleeping in, I’m awaken by the scent of bacon being wafted underneath my nose.  Of course this was impetus to make my way as quickly as possible to the kitchen where my custom requested breakfast was being prepared.  Two eggs over medium, corn meal pancakes, and bacon (of course). While… Continue reading

So Mumbles Menino in Boston and now Rahm ‘the Godfather’ Emmanuel are both dancing back and putting out damage control over their highly anti-First Amendment comments about not allowing Chick-Fil-A restaurants to open within the borders of their cities.  Now I’ve mentioned before, I do luvs me my Chick-Fil-A.  I find that every store I’ve… Continue reading

Here in the Midwest the talking heads of the news keep touting the ‘breaking of records’ for heat.  And then they scream about global warming.  But the thing is, if we’re breaking a 100 year record for heat, then it was this hot 100 years ago.  So what caused the heat 100 years ago if… Continue reading

The TSA now wants to sample people’s drinks that they bought BEHIND the Groping Curtain.  This makes absolutely no sense unless they are admitting by proxy that they are unable to maintain a secure area.  One would think that it would make more sense to concentrate on cargo, foodstuffs coming into the ‘secure’ part of… Continue reading

They’ve tried to turn this into just another barbeque and fireworks day–rendering it generic.  We need to remember the fervor and dedication to the ideals of freedom that caused this country to come into being.  Think about our Course of human events.  Think about our government and how they are no longer governing with the… Continue reading
