Midwest Chick's Place

Had a great time at the Indy blogmeet yesterday. It was very nice for folks to hang around since they knew that B and I would be late since we were working at the Indy 1500 gun show. I’m proud of myself in that I managed not to go all geeky fangirl on some folks… Continue reading

I was laughing so hard I almost cried when I saw this video (via B, on Breitbart.tv-h.t. Insty). I have long contended that the talking (air)heads that they put on to read the news actually have no insight, no acumen, and no knowledge or thought of the words that are pouring out of their mouths… Continue reading

In Springfield Virginia, a man was arrested for, get this, being naked in his own kitchen at 5:30 in the morning (ht Reason). He was in his own home, his roommates were gone, and he got up to make coffee. What he didn’t know is that a woman and her daughter were in HIS yard… Continue reading

Watched NCIS last night–they were on the list via Big Hollywood of shows who were going to change their scripts to go along with Obama’s script of service. Aside from a small separate announcement, as far as I could tell, the script didn’t promote service. I did notice, however, that they are continually putting the… Continue reading

JayG over at MArooned (ht Men are not Potatoes) wrote a missive on why exactly gun control legislation won’t work. I’ve seen a lot of arguments but this one I think cuts to the chase and speaks to the heart. There are no easy answers as to why people don’t seem to put a value… Continue reading

Noemie Emery in The Weekly Standard (ht Insty) ends an article discussing the implosion of the liberal Hollywood elite and the Nobel Committee through their own blatant hypocrisies with the following: “If there were a Nobel Prize for shark-jumping, these people would share it: They have proved themselves more inane than their critics imagined. With… Continue reading

Craig Ferguson shows his pride at becoming an American citizen. Notice that the women of the View don’t dwell on it nor were they able to parse from whence the symbolism might have come. (ht Anarchangel). Watch starting at 1 minute 34 seconds. Continue reading

B has been saying and I’ve been agreeing and apparently other folks have been saying it too. Government run health care would be the same as having your medical needs evaluated by the folks at the DMV. In this article (ht In Jennifer’s Head), the present form of the health care bill makes this not… Continue reading

Got this tidbit of info from Gateway Pundit. The point of the story was to show the students at Texas A&M protesting Obama. A small point mentioned is that he was speaking about community service. As we all know, there is going to be a weeklong media blitz/brainwashing session to try to get the American… Continue reading

Perception is the lense through which we filter reality. This filter consists of our experiences, our education, our mood, and possibly that first cup of coffee. When we ‘think outside of the box’, we are expanding that filter to include elements that we don’t normally use-new knowledge, new experience. What we do with that perception,… Continue reading
