  • Things you probably only hear at our place….

    “I just lased myself in my right eye.” (Himself as his drops his LaserLyte Sight on the floor) Later in the afternoon…… “The strainer in the drainer is clean…..”  His return line “And the chalice with the palace has the brew that is true.” Continue reading

  • No, it's not appropriate for the President to comment….

    The President has weighed in on the Treyvon Martin issue in Florida.  The press is trying to say that the leader of this country is right to comment on a local police matter.  Just like he commented on the brouhaha in Cambridge that led to the “Beer Summit” because he spoke only from what he… Continue reading

  • I honestly was of two minds about posting this about the 'Sex Strike'

    So we have Lysistrata Redeux, but instead of a cause like ending the Peloponnesian War., it’s in the cause of making other people pay for their birth control regardless of the third party’s religious beliefs regarding contraception, abortion, or other practices.  I’m sure these women see themselves as this:   Where I see them this:… Continue reading

  • Update on Daniels and Indiana SEA 1

    Apparently Daniels signed SEA1 LATE last night (and it would have had to be late since I was looking at the list at 9:30 pm Eastern Time).  I’m glad he did, but I wonder what took him so long. Continue reading

  • Daniels is covering for his friend the Indiana Supreme Court Justice

    Of all of the bills sent to Daniels’ desk this session, the ONLY one he didn’t sign was SEA1 (as of 8:21 pm on the 20th), which would have restored both Indianan’s 4th Amendment rights as well as Indiana Constitution Section 11 rights.  It is truly amazing that this is the only one he didn’t… Continue reading

  • Yawn… the Afghans are rioting again….

    I saw on the news this morning that the Afghans are rioting over the 16 people who were killed by the US soldier and that they are calling for him to be beheaded.  Now what he did was abhorrent and unexplainable to anyone but the voices in his head.  It is a crime and he… Continue reading

  • Listen Up Indiana Folks and Spread the Word….

    Mitch Daniels is on the fence about signing enrolled SB #1 which was designed by Sen. Charbonneau to restore our Fourth Amendments rights and mitigate the effects of an Indiana Supreme Court decision last year.  Give the Gov a call and let him know he should sign this Bill into Law.  His office number is: … Continue reading

  • Cultural sensitivity for everyone but our own countrymen….

    The press is making a very big deal about how Republican voters in Alabama and Mississippi (they are sure to emphasize the ‘Republican’ part, but since they are the only ones being included in the polls, duh) feel that Obama is a muslim. What the press and the academic intelligencia fail to realize, and what… Continue reading

  • For Old NFO–The Babysittin' Blues

    Old NFO has a blogpost about the blues.  Proving that anything can be made into a blues song, I present “The Babysitting Blues” from the movie ‘Adventures in Babysitting’.  It features the incomparable Albert Collins, so please to enjoy…. Continue reading
