Talk about grassroots movements!  Yesterday when I logged on to donate to her campaign for our household, her goal was $50,000.  This morning she is 90% to a cool million bucks.  And I’m betting it was all small donations:  we gave $40, Dick and Kelly gave $100.  I heard on the radio this morning that… Continue reading

I saw in this article that the Obama Administration is planning on “getting tough” with China.  Because “getting tough” has worked so well for Captain Barak Bows-a-Lot and his band of merry mischief makers.  Do they really think that ANY country, especially China, will take them seriously??  (picture via The Breda Fallacy) Continue reading

Irrelevant or some variation, that’s what I’m hearing on the radio and that’s what I’m reading on blogs when there is a discussion of the RNC’s reaction to O’Donnell’s victory in the Delaware primary yesterday.  The RINO Republican National Party is making itself irrelevant.  They are no longer the gatekeepers or the power brokers where… Continue reading

Via Kyle Olson at Big Government….. Indianapolis schools got busted by a watchdog group for spending $25,000 in cell phone bills–in one month (please to note that the month in question is December, which includes the Christmas break.  The kicker of this situation is that instead of just sucking it up, admitting there’s a problem,… Continue reading

Via Libertyzone (who everyone should read all the time–the snark is great with that one).  So the daughter of Fred Phelps, that asshat from Kansas who loads his flocks into buses and drives around the country being attention whores by protesting at the funerals of servicemen, Amish girls, etc. is angry at the OTHER asshat… Continue reading

Okay, so driving home yesterday I was listening to 890 AM (WLS).  Unfortunately Roe Conn was on–I swear I just leave it on the station by habit because I think I’m getting a more balanced view from NPR–at least NPR is bias you can be sure of.  In any case, he’s bringing up the liberal… Continue reading

Every video I see of this man just warms the cockle’s of my heart.  At what looks like a public Q/A Christie is confronted by a teacher spouting the party line.  Not only did he disabuse her of her mythology, he went on to show his righteous anger about the head of a New Jersey… Continue reading

For my generation, those moments when those planes full of passengers were deliberately crashed into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and those heroes who took control over their lives for just long enough to save who knows how many others are our defining moments.  Just as our parents and grandparents remember where they… Continue reading

Mr. B pointed out the Brian Williams interview with Obama the other night, knowing that some of the issues raised are some that I’ve ranted about before.  As I watched the interview and they got to the point about the Pew survey (which I firmly now believe was deliberately designed, question-wise, to make the American… Continue reading

As a tribute to the first and, IMO, the best, onscreen James Bond who turned 80 yesterday: Continue reading
