  • Taking a break from politics for a minutes for a totally different rant

    Was watching Star Wars (the original, I refuse to call it Episode 4 or The New Hope or whatever).  Frickin’ George Lucas, you rat-bastard–Greedo DID NOT SHOOT FIRST.  The whole scene between Han Solo and Greedo was to show what a rogue and bad man that Han Solo is–that’s what makes him coming back to… Continue reading

  • Demonizing law abiding citizens

    On the heels of a discussion regarding the implications and issues surrounding an Indiana newspaper putting online a database of concealed carry permit holders (which BTW isn’t the only one, the Journal News in New York does so as well under the guise of reporting on out of date records), comes this article from Bob… Continue reading

  • Well, they did it.

    The Senate has proven that there is no honor and that bribes are the status-quo for passing a bill that the American public has vociferously opposed.  No one could have read it, even if Harry Reid’s office had released it.  I’ll say again… they voted on something that affects 1/6th of the economy of the… Continue reading

  • So then, will we get to complain about discrimination??

    Via Drudge, there’s an AP article saying that whites will no longer be the majority in the United States come the middle of the century (funny enough they’re saying the limits to immigration are pushing this figure back). So, one wonders, at that time will white jokes become un-PC and will there be entitlement programs… Continue reading

  • For your viewing pleasure… an excerpt from Guys and Dolls

    I played about five different parts in my high school production of this play and it’s always been one of my favorites.  I use this quote often but here’s the whole scene. Continue reading

  • Crossed wires at the Senate

    I was reading Gateway Pundit’s posting about the Tuesday Code Red Party at Claire McCaskill’s St. Louis office today and in the article it mentioned that it’s very difficult to get through to the Senator’s office in DC.  Now when I was called Senator Evan Bayh’s office in DC, I also ran into problems as… Continue reading

  • Just in time for Christmas

    The WTF blanket (Snuggy parody).  This is pretty funny.  For myself, I think the snuggy make everyone wearing it look like Spock in “The Voyage Home” or someone out of a 1970 horror flick. Continue reading

  • Algore thrown under the bus, or would that be the polar ice cap??

    Via Insty, there is an article in the London Times that I thought was particularly amusing.  First my disclaimer: I don’t like Algore, I don’t like his politics and his self-righteous attitude with his ‘green houseboat’ that runs on biodiesel at a lake that has no fueling stations with biodiesel or the fact that his… Continue reading

  • Media Misdirection

    Larry Anderson over at American Thinker has a fantastic piece on values, justice, and truth.  I like the article but I think that he’s missing a crucial piece in his ‘Values’ section.  He blames the American public for the media blitz about Tiger Woods because he says that this is what the public is buying,… Continue reading

  • Palin/Shatner Beat Poet Smackdown

    This  was pretty good (ht Insty).  I think that Palin is really enjoying herself.  Shatner, of course, has no ego–he seems to be pretty secure in himself and takes the joke well.  Well played, well played–especially to whoever thought it up.  Great move for Palin. eta:  Apparently Shatner’s latest schtick on the Tonight Show has… Continue reading
