  • My tin foil hat is going pretty well with my tailored wookie suit these days…

    It’s kind of funny that when the public speaks out about a law is passed or a regulation or something that nips away at our freedoms like a duck nibbling on a piece of bread is said to be the beginnings of a slippery slope, we’re called conspiracy theorists.  Of course things won’t be taken… Continue reading

  • Doubling down on stupid

    The Obama administration has gotten its collective balls in a wringer on a couple of fronts:  domestically Obama is calling for more taxes on ‘the rich’ while re-defining rich as folks who are really not-so-much rich.  (That’s part of the problem with being forced to quantify your definitions).  And the American public understands that class… Continue reading

  • Phone cops play hardball…

    I was having a conversation this morning and got reminded of WKRP, which was arguably one of the funniest shows on television. Continue reading

  • 'Scuse me while I whip this out….

    Okay folks, I’m talking about my pocket knife but couldn’t resist the Blazing Saddles reference.  Geez, if I’m the only one that does, consider yourself to be lucky.  Og, the Mighty and Indomitable, over at Neanderpundit, is starting a meme that is along the lines of “I’ll show you mine and then you can show… Continue reading

  • And why are people so surprised about Solyndra?

    Folks have their knickers in a collective knot about the fact that the Obama administration mucked about in their loan from the American public to ensure that private shareholders got paid first.  And rightly so.  But seriously, this is not the first time that the administration has intervened in order to get their cronies paid… Continue reading

  • Happy Anniversity to the Constitution

    Today is the 224th Anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States.  Despite it being crumpled and disregarded by the present government class, there are those of us for whom the words still have meaning and who believe that its tenents must apply to everyone equally. Continue reading

  • Attaaaack Waatch takes it old school….

    Beware!  It’s: from a tweeted idea from Iowahawk via DirtCrashr at Anthroblogogy…. Continue reading

  • Ahead of my time…

    There is a new book out called Europe, Globalization, and the Coming Universal Caliphate by Bat Ye’or.  Her contention is something I’ve been trumpeting for a while–that muslims are colonists, not immigrants.  I expanded it to include any group who does not choose to assimilate and tries to put their ideals and ideas upon the… Continue reading

  • Seriously, what is the point of this??

    The Early Show just had a segment about White House chefs doing micro-brew beers at the behest of the Obamas.  It was carefully pointed out that micro-brewing is legal in DC and that the Obamas bought the equipment with their own money.  Howevah……  I believe the White House chefs are paid for with taxpayer funds? … Continue reading

  • The Man Who Wants to be Absolute Ruler of the Universe…. but is too imcompetent to make it happen

    So Obama, while speaking to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said he’d just as soon that pesky Congress not get in the way of his vision for the future and his plans to completely run this country into the ground (I’m paraphrasing of course, but not by much).  Unfortunately by using regulations, he seems to be… Continue reading
