Well, I’ve got two things for this posting:  1) I figured out where Obama gets his denigrating tone and that would be at Harvard and 2) I’m wondering exactly when gender became a box?. Instapundit’s guest blogger Ann Althouse links to an article in the Harvard Crimson about the trials and trevails of transgendered people… Continue reading

So, there’s a woman at work.  She’s a plagiarist, she’s a big believer in form over function.  If she burst into flames, I’d be hard pressed not to get the gasoline if she was on fire.  I wouldn’t light the match but would do a happy dance of joy if her ashes blew away on… Continue reading

I heard in passing on the television news that OBL was collecting plans to interupt train service in the United States by sabotaging the rails to cause derailments.  It was supposed to coincide with the September 11 attacks. However, over the weekend, there were at least two accidents in the New York City area–one was… Continue reading

Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom who is one of those women who is truly a parent.  She was strict, set boundaries, and helped to teach me about personal responsibility. She still worries when I blog about my new concealed carry holster.  When I say something she just says that ‘Moms are moms forever.’  I… Continue reading

He tries to go down the liberal talking points and gets firmly, but politely smacked down by the formidable Condoleeza Rice.  What a tool he is.  Slapped in the face by reality and all he can do is continue to go down the list.  My favorite part:  O’Donnell tried to throw out the coalition issue… Continue reading

Everyone is happy that Bin Laden is now six-feet underground rather than standing above the sod, and that’s great.  The Navy SEALs did what they do best and they got him.  And kudos to them because it was a long time coming. Here’s where I’m going against the grain.  As lovely as it is to… Continue reading

Regarding H-S Precision marketing FAIL, I present to you Borepatch’s post on the subject.  They made a really bad choice in Horiuchi since anyone familiar with the goings on at Ruby Ridge, knows that Vicki Weaver never should have gotten shot that day at Ruby Ridge.   Go to Borepatch here, just in case you missed… Continue reading

The White House Correspondents’ dinner was last night.  This morning, the media are crowing over Teh Won’s funnies at the expense of Donald Trump.  Now I really don’t give a fig about Trump, but am under the impression that one of the dinner’s purposes was much like a roast, with the President on the hot… Continue reading

My sister just finished her first marathon.  She’d only really trained to 10 miles but finished at a very respectable time, which put her in the top forty percent of all females in the race.  What was really nice is I was getting text updates at various points during the race so I could keep… Continue reading
