  • Quote of the Day–Noemie Emery

    Noemie Emery in The Weekly Standard (ht Insty) ends an article discussing the implosion of the liberal Hollywood elite and the Nobel Committee through their own blatant hypocrisies with the following: “If there were a Nobel Prize for shark-jumping, these people would share it: They have proved themselves more inane than their critics imagined. With… Continue reading

  • Why is it that a former Brit has to show more national pride than many of our citizens?

    Craig Ferguson shows his pride at becoming an American citizen. Notice that the women of the View don’t dwell on it nor were they able to parse from whence the symbolism might have come. (ht Anarchangel). Watch starting at 1 minute 34 seconds. Continue reading

  • A nightmare come true–an unholy alliance

    B has been saying and I’ve been agreeing and apparently other folks have been saying it too. Government run health care would be the same as having your medical needs evaluated by the folks at the DMV. In this article (ht In Jennifer’s Head), the present form of the health care bill makes this not… Continue reading

  • The blitz has begun

    Got this tidbit of info from Gateway Pundit. The point of the story was to show the students at Texas A&M protesting Obama. A small point mentioned is that he was speaking about community service. As we all know, there is going to be a weeklong media blitz/brainwashing session to try to get the American… Continue reading

  • Perception

    Perception is the lense through which we filter reality. This filter consists of our experiences, our education, our mood, and possibly that first cup of coffee. When we ‘think outside of the box’, we are expanding that filter to include elements that we don’t normally use-new knowledge, new experience. What we do with that perception,… Continue reading

  • The latest from Thomas Paine… The Broken Common Bond

    Listen to this, think about it, pass it along. The latest video from Thomas Paine–his talking points–That a Common Bond must exist for our country to stand, that national pride must exist and be taught in our schools, that immigrants must be legal, must learn English, must learn our history. He enumerates several things that… Continue reading

  • So the only television show I can watch next week is…..

    Stargate-Universe! Fortunately SyFy is one of the networks not assimilated into the Obama administration’s “service and volunteerism” campaign next week. Big Hollywood (h.t. Drudge) has a list of shows that are participating in this media blitz (subversive campaign) that is designed to ” ‘organically’ create and produce as many shows as possible about service and… Continue reading

  • A city is a victim??

    Why is New Orleans still referred to as the hurricane-torn city, the city ravaged by Katrina, etc.?? Any other city in the WORLD has to be out of the victim stage after FOUR FRICKIN’ years. If the residents can’t pull their heads out of their collective butts within four years, tear it down and start… Continue reading

  • These broke my heart, but kind of in a good way

    Via Ambulance Driver and New Life Changes there is this and this. Kleenex are necessary for both as AD says. There is a will to live and likewise a will to die. Both are equally as important as the other. Johnny Cash followed June within weeks of her death. I think that we sometimes find… Continue reading

  • And now for Exhibit A…..How bureaucrats are going to help bring down the economy

    Via Taxing Tennessee (h.t. Insty), the Kiplinger Business Resource Center has an article showing how much rampant bureaucratism is going to cost businesses. I blogged a little while back about how it’s the rules and regs that come along with a law are a major problem since they are written by little people in their… Continue reading
