rant on: I don’t know why I torture myself in the morning by leaving the TV on after the morning news, but I did, and the Today show came on. Matt Lauer, that hack for the Left, was interviewing Rudy Giuliani about the NYC mosque. It is so hard for me to watch when someone… Continue reading

Diametrically opposing viewpoints–First Amendment and the Quelling thereof
Via Insty, two posts regarding the proposed NYC mosque project. I read them back to back and the complete opposite viewpoint were rather stark. First we’ll talk about Pelosi–she wants begin investigations of the folks who are questioning the funding and the motives of those wanting to build the mosque.

He points out that the reason that higher education tuition has gone up so much, especially in the past few years, is because it COULD. Institutions of higher learning could increase their tuition by several… Continue reading

Close call…. lions and tigers and bears, oh my…..
Via Southern Rockies Nature Blog….. Pictures from a trail camera in Condon, Montana. Picture of a female jogger in typical jogging clothes. Picture of a mountain lion—two minutes before the jogger passed by. I’m of the mind that if you’re dumb enough or have enough hubris to think that humans are always at the top… Continue reading
