  • Your dismissive attitude will get you nowhere, Mr. Axelrod

    Had a busy weekend at the gun show and so had to wait to read the blogs and watch the news about the Tea Party Protest on Sunday afternoon. But I almost fell off the couch when David Axelrod and Mr. Obama both dismissed the million plus (I guess if you add enough tens of… Continue reading

  • So… healthcare reform…

    Saw the President. This is what I got. Healthcare reform won’t cost anything except for $900 billion that they will extort from the insurance companies and from those ‘irresponsible’ fools who choose not to get health insurance or those companies who don’t offer health insurance. His door is open to anyone, except for those who… Continue reading

  • Recoil therapy… a very nice weekend..

    Last weekend was my birthday weekend. It was nice–beautiful and unique gifts from my partner that showed that he really put a lot of time and thought into them, dinners with my partner’s folks, getting stuff done around the house, and recoil therapy. Went to the shooting range so that my best friend from college’s… Continue reading

  • Personal responsibility issues…

    Via Amy Alkon… Five people in Gold Canyon in California refused to evacuate when told that the fires were coming their way but now that they are in danger, they want to be bailed out. Problem being is that there is no safe way to get to these morons. If they try, there is going… Continue reading

  • Oh HELL no!

    Via Drudge, Weekly World Daily has a chilling article regarding some new regarding legislation in Massachussetts that’s been passed by their Senate and is now making its way through the House (and this makes me wicked glad that I don’t live there anymore)…. The way I’m reading this piece of fear-laden crap is that ‘authorities’… Continue reading

  • The next time someone mentions astroturf….

    … take a look at this video from Gateway Pundit (h.t. Instapundit) who taped a little training session before a Town Hall meeting. Guess which side of the health care debate they are on?? Continue reading

  • So if Al Gore says it, it must be true—NOT!

    Via Drudge, here’s a report detailing the speeches that Algore and Clinton (Bill, not the Secretary of State) gave to a bunch of Tennessee democrats. Algore states that “anything complicated can be misrepresented. Number two, it’s personal. It’s personal to all of us. Anything personal can be used to inspire fear.” Well, he’s made a… Continue reading

  • HUBRIS!

    Via Timebomb 2000 (ht: Middle of the Right): Congressman Massa absolutely says that he would vote against the wishes of his district if he believes that it would be best for them, despite what they might say about an issue. Does he not realize that he has lost the frickin’ plot?? He’s not there to… Continue reading

  • Burkhas and hijabs and chadors, oh my!

    Maybe it’s because I was married to an Iranian (who, BTW, never EVER mentioned me putting on chador–just wanted to make it clear) maybe it’s the same reason that I don’t like wearing turtlenecks, I dunno, but it’s one of my hot-button, soapbox issues. I see someone with a scarf on her head and I… Continue reading

  • Shell games and curtains

    The White House’s flag@whitehouse.gov’s address that was designed to collect information about people disseminating ‘fishy’ information (to the rest of us, that would be those pesky things called facts) regarding the health care reform bill, has now been shut down due to questions regarding how the data collected would be used, if the information came… Continue reading
