(A.K.A. Non-Original Rants)

–Co-opting good stuff from all over the ‘Net and maybe some original thoughts—ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE

  • One of my favorite comedians from back in the day

    Don’t know whatever happened to Tommy Sledge, but here he is.  Since this clip is from 1989, some folks might not get some of the jokes but I think he was very funny. Continue reading

  • Well this is going to confuse them

    Via Instapundit:  A Koran burning in Iran.  If an Iranian and an Afghani burn a Koran on a rock and put it on youtube, which unrelated people will get beheaded?  The UN folks aren’t even remotely related.  No Americans were involved (but I’m sure they will try to relate it to American influence or something). … Continue reading

  • The Scottish Play

    We went to see Macbeth on Saturday night.  It was a minimalist, updated version–meaning that there were few props and the actors wore all black suits, black evening dresses, or black jeans and black button downs.  There were knives and revolvers as the weapons of choice and it was a children’s theater (meaning the actors… Continue reading

  • Passing this along: The Patrick Leister Fund

    Brigid emailed and asked that I place this up on my blog too.  The link is to Bullets and Biscuits’ blogpost about a friend who passed away suddenly at only 31 years of age and without any known cause leaving three children, ages 2, 4, and 6 behind.  There is a fund being set up… Continue reading

  • Culture of victimhood

    It seems that the fine young women of Yale have been turned into fainting flowers (via Advice Goddess).  When faced with signs like “We Love Yale Sluts” or chants of “No means no and yes means anal” instead of giving back as good as they’re being given, they run and hide behind the skirts of… Continue reading

  • Regular people talk

    Every time I hear Obama trying to talk like a ‘regular person’ with his “I remember” speeches and comments that are designed to show that he is connected to we Bible-clinging gun lovers, I cannot help but think of Esteban in Zorro the Gay Blade (a movie before it’s time and never fails to make… Continue reading

  • Hmmm…. guess there's no such thing as too big to fail…

    If you’re talking about the state of Illinois (or at least the Illinois Department of Public Health), it seems that even Bank of America is no longer offering them credit.  As of April 22, all corporate cards used by Public Health employees will be cancelled due to nonpayment by the state.  They will now have… Continue reading

  • Places visited…

    Via Borepatch, an interactive map of places you’ve visited.  I’ve bagged about half of the US and only included places 3+ days of visiting since I’ve been through a lot more places.  Looks like I need to hit the Northwest a bit more and fill in a couple of other places. visited 24 states (48%)… Continue reading

  • Well this is a good thing….

    I have a bunch of relatives who live in Illinois and there have been a few times where I’ve gone over the border to an *oh crap* moment when I realized I hadn’t taken my firearm out of my car leading to a quick stop, unloading, disassembling, and stashing the parts in different places in… Continue reading

  • Breda speaks wisdom

    Over at the Breda Fallacy, she links to a video created by some ‘conscious men’ who basically apologize to women for being men much the same way Obama apologized to the world for America being the biggest and best kid on the block.  I started to watch the video but, like Breda, it just made… Continue reading
