  • Ford vs. Audi

    Via JayG at MArooned…..  Here’s an answer to Audi’s Green Police ad. Continue reading

  • Cartoon of the day from Uncle Jay!

    This is REALLY funny so I just had to link to it! Listen to Uncle Jay…: So Close… Continue reading

  • Blogroll update

    Just saw that Green Mountains Homesteading linked to me so I’m tossing back some linky goodness. Continue reading

  • This is not the American butt you were looking for….

    Saw this on my sitemeter.  I think they were searching for something other than commentary…..  Domain Name (Unknown)  IP Address 89.108.0.# (Sahara Network) ISP Sahara Network Location Continent  :  Asia Country  :  Saudi Arabia  (Facts) State/Region  :  Ash Sharqiyah City  :  Dammam Lat/Long  :  26.4258, 50.1142 (Map) Language English (U.S.) en-us Operating System Microsoft WinXP Browser Internet Explorer… Continue reading

  • Okay, so hell actually has frozen over… and there's pictures!

    So is it just me (probably) or does anyone else find it interesting that the nation’s capital being completely closed down (at an estimated $100 million/day cost to the taxpayers) right when the Democrats are talking about using  reconciliation (via Insty) to force Obamacare down the throats of a public who may well resort to… Continue reading

  • The People's Republic of Illinois is earning its title

    So Scott Lee Cohen was apparently offered something by the Illinois Democratic Machine that he couldn’t refuse to step down from being the ELECTED candidate for Lt. Governor in Illinois.  What this is, is the most egregious usurpation of the democratic process that should cause the downfall of the Democratic party in Illinois and should… Continue reading

  • John Murtha, dead at age 77

    My condolences to his family and friends, but I can’t say that I’m sorry.  The man was the epitome of what was wrong in Congress–kickbacks, pay-to-play, earmarks, ethics violations.  He might as well have been from Chicago.  Maybe he did some good for his constituency, but he also helped bring this country to the brink… Continue reading

  • Superbowl Commercials: Census Bureau; Tim Tebow

    I apparently missed the $3 million Census Bureau commercial last night during the Super Bowl so I looked it up this morning.  My only thought was, we payed $3,000,000 (not including production, mind you) for THIS? (I’m not linking directly because it was that dumb, if you want to find it, the main commercial page… Continue reading

  • Why would the IRS be buying shotguns??

    In this solicitation, the IRS is buying shotguns for its “Criminal Investigation Division”.  (ht:  Drudge) Here’s what they are looking for: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to purchase sixty Remington Model 870 Police RAMAC #24587 12 gauge pump-action shotguns for the Criminal Investigation Division. The Remington parkerized shotguns, with fourteen inch barrel, modified choke,… Continue reading

  • Continuing submissive behavior from Obama

    So Obama  bows (and scrapes) to the King of Saudi Arabia, and really, really bows to Emperor Akihito of Japan.  Okay, that’s bad enough but now he’s bowing to the Mayor of Tampa, Florida. (ht, Bookworm Room)  All I have to say is WTF??  Is it just naturally beta-dog submissive behavior that’s only offset when… Continue reading
