In and Safe
With Snowmagedon coming, I made it home safely. My job is to keep the home fires burning (literally) while Himself handles stuff at work. My footprints that I left when I arrived an hour and a half ago are already covered. I’ve got my french toast fixins’ and the pets have food (very important because… Continue reading

More Ghurka stuff (no matter how it's spelled)
Shamelessly copied from JayG at MArooned (who got it from Stretch). After the story that broke late last week, this just cracked me up. Continue reading

Okay, found some content….
In my workplace today we’ve been getting email after email regarding the upcoming Blizzard-from-Hell/Snowmagedon event that is expected tomorrow and into Wednesday. However, they are passing along weather advisories from the… get this… Indiana Department of Homeland Security. So I’m confused. Either there has been some serious mission creep or else terrorists have some serious… Continue reading

I got nothing….
The muse just isn’t whispering in my ear today so I’m going with the fallback cartoon-in-lieu-of-content. At least with this one you have to have some knowledge of history to truly appreciate it (who knows what a ‘4F’ meant in WWII?). It’s also one of the few where Bugs truly meets his match.

Seriously, does the Obama team do any fact-checking?
This particular factoid from the SOTU is quite ironic. The Colorado school (grades 6-12) that Obama praised as a model school is one who was granted an exemption from union rules in 2007. They had all teachers re-apply for their jobs and only six made the cut. The school’s first graduating class had a graduation… Continue reading

Chris Christie tells it (again) like it is…
Okay, I admit to being a total fangirl when it comes to Christie. But dang, the man has a way with words. This time he’s having to tell yet another public service employee (police officer) how it is. I have the highest respect for police officers and firemen but their unions are proving to be… Continue reading

This guy makes all other badasses look like pikers
Via The Other McCain: A retired Nepalese Gorkha (or Ghurka, depending on your spelling preference) killed three robbers, wounded another eight, and scattered a total of forty robbers on a train using only his skills and his khuruki. In the process, he saved a young girl from being raped and saved a lot of sheeple… Continue reading

When is a Law, not a Law??
A law is not a law when it does not apply equally to all persons and entities. I’m hearing that there are now over 700 exemptions to unions and business out there to Obamacare’s annual limits requirement (doesn’t count some states that have been exempted either). These are being handed out like candy, but the… Continue reading

Dentist appointment
Had a dentist appointment yesterday. Usually these are no-brainers because I’ve been blessed with bones and teeth of pure adamantium but since I hadn’t been for three years, I was expecting something like: or this: Well, maybe not the second one since Himself assured me that the guy was really nice. It turned out to… Continue reading

Jumping the Shark, SOTU-style, a liveblog with commentary
Okay, during the SOTU, I now realize why I keep seeing (or repeating over and over) STFU. It’s not the State of the Union anymore, it’s the ‘here’s my agenda and you all should agree with me’. So there’s agenda items such as amnesty for illegal students because they happen to make it to college… Continue reading
