The TSA now wants to sample people’s drinks that they bought BEHIND the Groping Curtain.  This makes absolutely no sense unless they are admitting by proxy that they are unable to maintain a secure area.  One would think that it would make more sense to concentrate on cargo, foodstuffs coming into the ‘secure’ part of… Continue reading

They’ve tried to turn this into just another barbeque and fireworks day–rendering it generic.  We need to remember the fervor and dedication to the ideals of freedom that caused this country to come into being.  Think about our Course of human events.  Think about our government and how they are no longer governing with the… Continue reading

The wails and howls of those without electrical power have reached my ears.  We too were without power for several hours (not days), but because of proper preparation, it was merely an adventure and a chance to go to bed early. After the storm passed Thursday night, I figured it was safe to dive into… Continue reading

It’s truly interesting to watch the spin the press puts on it.  Their meme du jour is that because Congress passed it, it must be Constitutional (also Nancy Pelosi’s argument, coincidentally).  Hopefully the balance of powers (even the Founding Fathers didn’t think that all laws passed by Congress would be Constitutional) will make this abomination… Continue reading

Since a picture couldn’t possibly do the meal I had last night any justice, I will try my level best to describe and you can use your imagination. Finely chopped chicken (marinated for two hours), red and yellow and green peppers, some onion, and BACON sauteed in a hot skillet in a blessing of cayenne… Continue reading

So the US Olympic Committee feels that a bunch of knitting fans holding a ‘Ravelympics’ “may constitute trademark infringement, unfair competition and dilution of our famous trademarks,”.  Seriously.  Because they are having competitions called ‘the Afghan Marathon’.  I would think that a couple of thousand years after the original Olympics and more than 100 years… Continue reading

…. or this just reeks.  One public school employee union in Michigan is strong-arming its members to hand over credit card and bank account information to force dues out of them since the state is no longer acting as the enforcement arm of the union.  To me, this just says that the unions are losing… Continue reading

So the Chicago Police department is eating the cost of providing 100+ officers for security for Valerie Jarrett’s daughter’s wedding.  And the citizens of the Chicago are eating quite a bit of lead–46 injured and eight dead.  The murder rate is up by 35% year over year in the Windy City.  And the city of… Continue reading

The Taliban has said that they are going to start denying their children access to the polio vaccine if the US doesn’t stop sending drone strikes into Pakistan.  Am I the only one who thinks “so what, it just makes it a generation of suicide bombers that have to crawl to their victims.”?

Standing at the train station waiting for my folks to emerge from their respective bathrooms, I was approached by a young man who said “Excuse me miss, may I borrow your cell phone?”  I looked at him and said “Yes I mind, and I’m sorry, but no you may not borrow it.”  I thought I… Continue reading
