  • The latest from Thomas Paine… The Broken Common Bond

    Listen to this, think about it, pass it along. The latest video from Thomas Paine–his talking points–That a Common Bond must exist for our country to stand, that national pride must exist and be taught in our schools, that immigrants must be legal, must learn English, must learn our history. He enumerates several things that… Continue reading

  • So the only television show I can watch next week is…..

    Stargate-Universe! Fortunately SyFy is one of the networks not assimilated into the Obama administration’s “service and volunteerism” campaign next week. Big Hollywood (h.t. Drudge) has a list of shows that are participating in this media blitz (subversive campaign) that is designed to ” ‘organically’ create and produce as many shows as possible about service and… Continue reading

  • A city is a victim??

    Why is New Orleans still referred to as the hurricane-torn city, the city ravaged by Katrina, etc.?? Any other city in the WORLD has to be out of the victim stage after FOUR FRICKIN’ years. If the residents can’t pull their heads out of their collective butts within four years, tear it down and start… Continue reading

  • These broke my heart, but kind of in a good way

    Via Ambulance Driver and New Life Changes there is this and this. Kleenex are necessary for both as AD says. There is a will to live and likewise a will to die. Both are equally as important as the other. Johnny Cash followed June within weeks of her death. I think that we sometimes find… Continue reading

  • And now for Exhibit A…..How bureaucrats are going to help bring down the economy

    Via Taxing Tennessee (h.t. Insty), the Kiplinger Business Resource Center has an article showing how much rampant bureaucratism is going to cost businesses. I blogged a little while back about how it’s the rules and regs that come along with a law are a major problem since they are written by little people in their… Continue reading

  • Do they REALLY believe the words that are coming out of their mouths??

    I was listening to 890 WLS this morning on my way into work. I caught part of the interview with Rep. Schakowsky and I really can’t believe that SHE believes the crap that she was shoveling is gold. First, she said that ‘not all opinions are worth voicing’ in reference to the truthful information that… Continue reading

  • Range Day

    Went to the range and tried out my new Kel-Tec PF9-9mm. Shoots nice, kicks like a frickin’ mule since it doesn’t weigh anything–double action triggers are VERY hard to get used to though. Had to bring the line up to 21 feet since I couldn’t tell what the HELL I was doing at 50 (shooting… Continue reading

  • Glueball Wormening–what he said…

    Linking to this at Men are not Potatoes since I can’t say it any better. Continue reading

  • Why must EVERYTHING be an attack??

    The White House is miffed that the insurance companies have released a report that shows that the ‘health care reform’ plan would cost households an extra $1700/year than if the government does nothing. Of course ‘supporters of Obama’ characterize this as sabotage to the their plan, since like, well, telling the truth that interferes with… Continue reading

  • Had to get this from BRITISH media

    Apparently the Obama administration has taken away the rights of the Maricopa County (AZ) Sheriff to enforce federal law. The Guardian reports that he was enforcing laws under the aegis of Homeland Security with a two year contract that has been dropped. What’s interesting is that the article has quotes from two people that work… Continue reading
