  • I am also TJIC

    Via Borepatch, MArooned, Middle of the Right, Neanderpundit, all of our mothers’ fears have come true and a blogger has had his Second Amendment rights voided due to his exercise of his First Amendment rights. I too stand with Travis Corcoran:  I AM TJIC! Continue reading

  • The Vagina Dance or "This is our public education system"

    So apparently in Crystal Spring’s (Illinois) Prairie Ridge High School, part of their sex education course consists of what is referred to as “The Vagina Dance” where all students have to get up and do a Hokey Pokey like dance while talking about the inner workings of the female form (via Big Journalism and The… Continue reading

  • To keep him from bowing

    So, do you think they stuck a metal rod up Pres. Bow-a-Lot’s tee-shirt and underroos to keep him upright during the visit of the leader of China??  (picture via Big Government). Continue reading

  • Whoo hoo! Gun show and blogmeet!!

    I have been remiss about reporting on last Sunday’s gun show and blogmeet.   When I keep waking up with visions of demented oompa loompas in my head, it makes it difficult to write.  Sunday morning we (Himself/Mr. B and I) met the mighty and indomitable Og and the Atomic Fungus to make our way to… Continue reading

  • Well, I think I've successfully identified one of the problems with the Republican party

    I think I’ve successfully identified one of the problems with the Republican party.  And that is, lack of communication with the state and county committees.  I know someone who has been  very active with the Republican party on the local level for years.  I talked to this person about the upcoming elections for the Republican… Continue reading

  • William Shatner

    On the Urban Dictionary, there is a new comma, the, Shatner, Comma (via Insty).  It is defined as: Oddly placed commas that don’t seem to serve any actual purpose in punctuation, but make it look like you should take odd pauses, as William Shatner does when delivering lines. This is what Shatner commas look like:… Continue reading

  • Okay, seriously amok rules and regulations….

    It seems that every time I think I can’t be baffled by the bullshit put out by the federal government under the guise of rules and regs that something else comes along.  Via Advice Goddess, a Canadian woman had a candy egg confiscated from her car because it contained small toys that could cause choking. … Continue reading

  • Johnny Cash

    In 1968, Johnny Cash performed at Folsom Prison.  The first youtube is a recording from the live album taped at Folsom Prison in 1968.  The second is a live performance of the Man in Black also singing Folsom Prison Blues in 1974. Continue reading

  • Is anyone surprised taht Sheriff Dupnik is ducking and covering….

    Enforcing laws does not seem to be Sheriff Dupnik’s modus operandi so is it any wonder that he made of mess of handling Jared Loughner?  He refused(s) to enforce the new Arizona immigration law.  He was quoted here as saying: “This law, it’s just irresponsible,” he said. “It makes them [legislators] look like racists.” Dupnik’s… Continue reading

  • File this under good deed follies…..

    Okay, so I take Himself’s car last night to my yoga class in order to fill it up with gas before the expected snowstorm.  As I’m heading up the highway, I spot a dead deer on the road, too late to swerve.  So I take the car right over the top.  It didn’t seem like… Continue reading
