  • Now THAT's an apology

    Via The Gateway Pundit and PISSED, the Feral Irishman—  This is the apology that should have been made to Karzai, not the obsequious tripe uttered by the Academician-in-Chief. Continue reading

  • Waiting for the apology from Karzai

    So in Afghanistan, NATO personnel burn some Korans because they were being used to pass clandestine messages back and forth between various terrorists.  And someone finds the charred remains.  And our “President Bows-a-Lot” throws our military under the bus again (our people are ‘defending’ themselves with rubber bullets and the Pentagon is going to make… Continue reading

  • Passive voice

    Listening to the news this morning, the talking heads were talking about a multi-vehicle crash on the Edens Expressway (whichever highway that it since it’s Chicago code).  But the verbiage they used was interesting:  “the icy conditions caused the crash”.  It wasn’t that “dude was a moron and was driving too fast for conditions” or… Continue reading

  • Literally demonizing your opponents…..

    So what is it about this election cycle where one’s opponents are demons??  One Jesse Jackson Jr. supporter said that Debbie Halvorson’s campaign “has been prepared by Satanic forces.” and in a prayer said:  “We stand together, united behind this congressman, who stands in the forefront, battling political demonic forces that would keep us from… Continue reading

  • Kudos points …..

    The free ice cream hasn’t been served this week due to a plethora of life-events.  Just want to give kudos points to my brother who stepped up out of the blue, took care of some stuff that needed to be done, picked people up in the middle of the night to get them home and… Continue reading

  • And like a zombie, ATTTACKWAATCH.v2 rises from the grave

    The latest iteration of Obama’s paranoia are called Truth Teams.  Seriously, let’s just call them what they are–lying propagandists.  The only way he can stand on his record is to lie about it or blame it on someone else.  One of these teams has actually stated that they are out to intimidate voters.  As long… Continue reading

  • Because there are those that haven't figured out that the glow from a candle isn't a forcefield

    And because the glow of candles at a vigil for two people shot in Maryland did not deflect bullets, someone walked up and shot a person at “point blank range”, which amazingly was non-fatal so one wonders how “point blank” it was.  via Say Uncle. Continue reading

  • The Compromise that Really wasn't

    So in much-ballyhoo’ed news, the White House said that contraception and sterilization procedures wouldn’t have to be ‘explicitly’ paid for by Catholic hospitals and universities, but would be offered by insurance companies directly to female employees of those institutions.  But who would be paying the insurance companies??  Because sure as anything, they wouldn’t be eating… Continue reading

  • Why I love where we live….

    Himself and I ventured out Friday night in the budding snowstorm for BACON since we had a visiting dignitary this weekend.  While at the butcher’s shop, all of a sudden the lights went out.  Immediately two people behind the counter and three in front of it (Himself, myself, and one other) brought out our flashlights… Continue reading

  • RIP Whitney Houston

    She lived the American dream.  RIP Ms. Houston. Continue reading
