Windfall

Via Althouse, since I’ve been on a plane all day and currently have the intellectual capacity of a TSA agent.

I’m not going to pretend this documentary is fair. And I’m sure the Left will find it was funded by the Koch Brothers or something. But I do know that we have looked at wind power with a thousandth of the skepticism with which we’ve looked at, say, nuclear. There is a downside to wind … Read more

The Spirit Over The Letter

Last month I wrote post on the troubling trend of legislators tripping over themselves in the pursuit of sponsoring bills that adds ever more rules and laws into our lives. Not only are there too many laws now (many are just goofy) but the trend for their increase in numbers keeps rolling along. The impetus behind this is obvious, legislators have to justify their existence to get reelected, and the states/municipalities need the money garnered … Read more

Flagging Fools

Years ago Jim Croce had a not so bad song with lyrics of:

You don’t tug on Superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don’t mess around with Jim, da do da do…

Let’s add one more, no matter how dumb/drunk/cottled/young you are, you don’t go to your local VFW hall and burn their flag, what a goofball:

A few facts on … Read more

Tracking Nothing

Gun control is kind of a dead issue these days, at least in the US. If the Obama-Pelosi-Reid government wouldn’t dare bring forth a gun control measure, that tells you how discredited the anti-self-defense crowd is. And with Heller in place, we are set up for any legal challenges.

The gun grabbers are not beaten, however. They still want an unarmed America. The price of freedom … is making sure we keep up to date … Read more

Useful Idiots

Although Lenin gets credit (probably not deserved) for coining the phrase, the basic premise reveals mountains concerning the human condition. I always liked the phrase ,”The path to Hell is paved with good intentions”, another window which we can peer through, but to get seemingly good/honest people to do your bidding, to garner unwitting support for a malignant cause through charitable/peaceful acts, genius.

The latest example of a truly useful idiot comes from Hollywood land, … Read more

Callin’ Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton! Money to be made..

I call racims!

There is also some structural damage to the restaurant, which is located at 6701 Martin Luther King Jr. Highway, at the intersection of Sheriff Road. A collapse team was dispatched to stabilize the building and board up the restauarant’s windows, which had shattered.

A fried chicken joint on MLK Highway is insensitve! Especially when you have a Sherrif – a.k.a “Da Man” – involved too. Some white people have to be … Read more

Obama’s Pot Wars

At this point, blogging about Obama’s reprehensible approach to the marijuana issue is beating a dead roach. I’ve previously blogged on it here and here. But it seems like more people are catching on to his hypocrisy and promise-breaking. This week, Rolling Stone has a great article that is one-stop shopping for how far Obama is pushing the fight against legal marijuana.

But over the past year, the Obama administration has quietly unleashed a

Personal note: I got hit by a truck

So this happened yesterday.

Oww.

Also my bike is ruined. Everyone who has seen it says they’re gonna total it when the adjuster sees it. ::sadface::

Also I’m gonna sue the guy because he did something so reckless and he was such a complete jerk at the scene. My plan is to make every effort to financially ruin him, because he literally tried to kill me in order to save 3-5 seconds on his trip.… Read more

Stimulus … V?

I’ve lost track of the number of stimulus bills our Congress has passed. There were two under Bush (mostly tax cuts), the big Obama spendathon and now two waves of payroll tax cuts:

Two months after vowing to never give up the fight against President Obama’s payroll tax proposal, House Republicans decided Friday that they could not afford the battle any more.

Large bipartisan coalitions in both the House and Senate passed a $143

Wanna Buy Some Treasuries?

OK:

Italian anti-mafia prosecutors said they seized a record $6 trillion of allegedly fake U.S. Treasury bonds, an amount that’s almost half of the U.S.’s public debt.

The bonds were found hidden in makeshift compartments of three safety deposit boxes in Zurich, the prosecutors from the southern city of Potenza said in an e-mailed statement. The Italian authorities arrested eight people in connection with the probe, dubbed “Operation Vulcanica,” the prosecutors said.

The U.S.
