I was listening to 890 WLS this morning on my way into work. I caught part of the interview with Rep. Schakowsky and I really can’t believe that SHE believes the crap that she was shoveling is gold. First, she said that ‘not all opinions are worth voicing’ in reference to the truthful information that… Continue reading

Went to the range and tried out my new Kel-Tec PF9-9mm. Shoots nice, kicks like a frickin’ mule since it doesn’t weigh anything–double action triggers are VERY hard to get used to though. Had to bring the line up to 21 feet since I couldn’t tell what the HELL I was doing at 50 (shooting… Continue reading

Linking to this at Men are not Potatoes since I can’t say it any better. Continue reading

The White House is miffed that the insurance companies have released a report that shows that the ‘health care reform’ plan would cost households an extra $1700/year than if the government does nothing. Of course ‘supporters of Obama’ characterize this as sabotage to the their plan, since like, well, telling the truth that interferes with… Continue reading

So they based their criteria on campaign promises and pictures of him on a Hawaiian vacation (must have been his abs… Continue reading

I was talking with a colleague at work (academia). He is a liberal and a Canadian and a very nice man. In any case, we got on the subject of term limits (agreed that they would be a good thing) and I said something along the lines that I felt the Founding Fathers didn’t want… Continue reading

I’ve linked to an article by Stephen Green from April 18, 2009. In it he discusses the Saul Alinsky handbook and Anderson Cooper’s use of the derogatory term for Tea Party Protesters. What brought this particular article to mind was a story I was told yesterday by B. I’ll let him tell the whole thing… Continue reading

I got this peripherally from the story about the young man being beaten to death in Chicago. According to locals, the reason for the increase in gang violence in that area was caused by the closing of a high school (it was turned into a military school) and sending those kids to this other school.… Continue reading

Again on NPR (see reasons for listening to it below) there are reports that reports of flu are up considerably at colleges and universities. The tone of this message is that we are on the burning edge of a pandemic since so many college students are reporting that they have the flu: something like 200… Continue reading
