Midwest Chick's Place

Hopefully this Indiana state rep will soon be standing elsewhere than in the statehouse.  Indiana State Rep. Craig Fry basically told one of his constituents to piss off and stop trying to act like he’s supposed to be listening to his constituents.  Apparently Mr. Fry has been ‘serving’ a bit too long and has forgotten… Continue reading

The greatest trick the Liberals ever played was convincing the American public that we’re a democracy and not a Republic.  And yes, I’m paraphrasing from “The Usual Suspects“.  I was speaking with someone yesterday who was not born nor raised here about the city of Chicago and how I feel that it is a drain… Continue reading

So screaming from the yahoo headlines this morning is “Outrage over Indian islands ‘human zoo“.  Anthropologists and other ‘rights’ organizations are having a collective apoplectic fit over a primitive tribe’s women being bribed into dancing naked in exchange for food.  And it is abhorrent, no mistake. But UN ‘peacekeepers’ have also been doing this same… Continue reading

Via Say Uncle, Weerd Beard has started a meme in response to the anti-2nd amendment folks’ contention that gun control=less violence.  Of course this is in complete contradiction to the facts, which show that places with less gun control actually have less violence, especially gun violence.  I’m not a photographer, but here’s mine.

Borepatch has a couple of posts up about trains.  Got a couple songs going through my head.  My dad worked on the railroad as a young man and I have a railroad key that he gave me on my keychain.  The words to ‘Casey Jones’ aren’t quite the same as what I remember, but it’s… Continue reading

An Indiana republican from Evansville wants to make it illegal to sing the National anthem ‘inappropriately’.  While it makes my skin crawl to hear the National anthem slaughtered by some diva (and Roseanne Barr’s performance was a disgusting piece of work), I don’t think that making it illegal is the way to go on this. … Continue reading

I’ve been meaning to post something about this, but Himself and I were invited over to the Og Lair for a nice pre-New Year’s Eve gathering.  There was sushi and ham rolls with olives that looked like eyes, both created by the Oglet and the OgWife, fresh bread made by the Hands of Og, Italian… Continue reading

In Oklahoma, a woman shot and killed a man who broke into her home.  She was on the phone for 21 minutes to the police dispatcher and no police arrived in that time.  She had barricaded the door and listened while the man and his partner went from door to door to gain entry.  As… Continue reading

I was talking with a co-worker today and it culminated at this:  “don’t look at the label”.  She had said that she could never vote for a Republican because all Republicans have certain religious beliefs that they want to force on the rest of us.  I pointed out that the Dems also have beliefs, as… Continue reading
