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

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

  • Okay, this was just a dumb comment…

    And I’m not talking about Napolitano’s “the system worked” comment either.  Apparently Brit Hume took at chance at some sideways proselytization regarding Tiger Woods by saying that if Tiger would turn Christian, rather than Buddhist, then he can fully recover from the ongoing scandal.   Unfortunately the subject at hand was the biggest sports story, not… Continue reading

  • Happy New Year Everyone!

    With so many things going on in the world that affect us, both personally and professionally, take a moment to count your blessings and bring those into the New Year with you.  Acknowledge the past and learn from it.  Leave the bad stuff behind and start as fresh as Baby New Year with real hope… Continue reading

  • Some quotes from Heinlein's Lazarus Long (and one from de la Paz)

    It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics. –Lazarus… Continue reading

  • The Quote of the Day about Climategate…..

    From The Doctor is In–the blogpost called Our Gnostic Masters wherein the Doctor is talking about Climategate: We have been lectured endlessly by our postmodern mentors that religion is naught but ignorance and superstition, while scientific “facts” are Truth. But “knowledge is power,” as the saying goes — especially when the knowledge can be hidden… Continue reading

  • How not to win an election….

    I was listening to WLS this morning and heard an ad from Andy Martin, who is running against Mark Kirk in the Republican primary for Senator (Obama’s seat).  What I heard was an advertisement that is guaranteed to lose and it made Andy Martin (who I’ve never heard of until now) sound like a total… Continue reading

  • Taking a break from politics for a minutes for a totally different rant

    Was watching Star Wars (the original, I refuse to call it Episode 4 or The New Hope or whatever).  Frickin’ George Lucas, you rat-bastard–Greedo DID NOT SHOOT FIRST.  The whole scene between Han Solo and Greedo was to show what a rogue and bad man that Han Solo is–that’s what makes him coming back to… Continue reading

  • Demonizing law abiding citizens

    On the heels of a discussion regarding the implications and issues surrounding an Indiana newspaper putting online a database of concealed carry permit holders (which BTW isn’t the only one, the Journal News in New York does so as well under the guise of reporting on out of date records), comes this article from Bob… Continue reading

  • Well, they did it.

    The Senate has proven that there is no honor and that bribes are the status-quo for passing a bill that the American public has vociferously opposed.  No one could have read it, even if Harry Reid’s office had released it.  I’ll say again… they voted on something that affects 1/6th of the economy of the… Continue reading

  • So then, will we get to complain about discrimination??

    Via Drudge, there’s an AP article saying that whites will no longer be the majority in the United States come the middle of the century (funny enough they’re saying the limits to immigration are pushing this figure back). So, one wonders, at that time will white jokes become un-PC and will there be entitlement programs… Continue reading

  • For your viewing pleasure… an excerpt from Guys and Dolls

    I played about five different parts in my high school production of this play and it’s always been one of my favorites.  I use this quote often but here’s the whole scene. Continue reading
