Borepatch was wondering about why Reid decided not to bring la Feinstein’s bill to the Senate floor.  I think I might have the answer… The UN Arms Treaty   Dollar to dime the Dems are banking on this since it would make anything else moot– per NRA civilian weapons would not be excluded. Time to make… Continue reading

So la Feinstein says that she felt ‘patronized‘ by Cruz’ questions yesterday and that he was being ‘arrogant’.  But after watching the video again, she was the one being patronizing and arrogant–I think that’s the reasoning behind ‘I’ve been here blahblahblah so many years’ commentary.  It’s akin to ‘Look youngster, shut your mouth and mind… Continue reading

After Sen. Cruz’s well thought out question, the only answer that Feinstein had was the usual emotional rhetoric, timed served in the public sphere, and ‘well, we’re leaving those bitter-clingers with SOME of their guns’ (paraphrased loosely, of course).  And Sen Leahy deliberately tried to re-work the point that Sen Cruz was trying to make… Continue reading

…. will always be 42.  Because it’s a perfectly reasonable answer to an extraordinarily difficult question. Rest in Peace Douglas Adams on what would have been your 61st birthday.  I will always strive to have my towel with me at all times. Continue reading

The only reason I am bothering with this post is because the Obama-complicit media seems to think  that four years of journalism school and paying enormous dollars for a closet in Manhattan makes them somehow smarter than us poor unwashed masses in middle America. We were watching the news this morning about the meteor that… Continue reading

Valentines Day has never been one  of my favs on the holiday scale.  Mr B taught me what Valentines Day can be today though.  On my way out the door, he asked me, as he often does, what I’d like for dinner.  I laughed and said Beef Wellington. By this good green earth, I got… Continue reading

Borepatch has posted about his experiences with his Mom.  His words have been a touchstone for me and, like him, the word Sparrow now has special meaning.  I’m trying very hard to learn from him and emulate him in my own journey towards, perhaps, a bit more wisdom and patience.  Trying to understand the Great… Continue reading

We made the mistake of watching the State of the Union political speech last night on CBS.  I can’t say how irritating I find Bob Schieffer and whoever that bobble-headed twink was with him (doesn’t know the difference between a catch-phrase and a moniker and THEY are supposed to be the intelligencia).   Schieffer seems… Continue reading

As Roberta X, Og, Mr B and others have pointed out, the reporting bias on the Christopher Dorner situation in LA is almost laughably biased.  I say almost, because modern ‘reporting’ isn’t reporting, it’s slant, spin, and dirty laundry (as the song goes).  I’m surprised that they even mentioned that the LAPD is so trigger-happy… Continue reading
