I've done a courtesy search for the term rain rain go away for you. See if you can find what you're looking for in the list below:

• Loose Lips

  About 2 weeks ago I read a scathing article in the WSJ, penned by a recently retired former ST6 Navy Seal, who was more then critical of the Obama administration and his megaphone style handling of ST6 and their recent exploits. As background he admitted that he was retired before the OBL cacking, he had been on a number of similar high profile missions. The gist of the article was that Obama, his staff, and … Read more

• Tennessee Family Home Burns While Firefighters Watch

  I just copied and pasted the title of this thread from the article I’m using to introduce the topic. The title seems to me to imply a leaning by the author against the decision not to fight the fire. I am purposely refraining from saying whether or not I share that leaning for the time being. I would prefer to see the facts as presented discussed/debated before I give my take.

  For the record, I … Read more

• Hinckley Wants Out

  It’s been a few years since I sped read through “Psychiatry For Dummies” so maybe some medical break throughs occurred when I wasn’t looking, but can a person who is seriously mentally ill, become mentally NOT ill? I’m not talking about your typical lite weight, someone who suffers through anxiety, depression, nervous habits, or even someone who has difficulty concentrating (ADHD), all these can be regulated with medication. Prozac, Ritalin, anti depressants, even Lithium, wonder … Read more

• Perry Stumbles

  Egad:

  To be fair … I do some amount of public speaking and have occasionally had a brain cramp. Just last week, an unexpectedly raucous response to a throwaway joke threw me off my stride. But experienced speakers — and Perry is one — have ways of recovering. You combine this with his prior debate performances and his drunken syrup speech, and the impression is of a candidate who is just winging it. (Not that … Read more

• The Taibbi Plan

  Matt Taibbi, one of the key members of the More Clever than Smart Club, has an essay on what he would have OccupyWallStreet demand. It’s making the rounds. Let’s go through it. I’ve almost finished reading The Big Short, a book you really should read to understand the recent financial crisis. So this will serve two purposes: responding to Taibbi and talking about what I learned from Michael Lewis.

  1. Break up the monopolies.

• Gun Owners of America Not Happy With Romney

  I’m a member of GOA. Decided that the NRA long-ago stopped representing my best interests in favor of serving their own political and corporate interests, so I took my money elsewhere. As a member of GOA, I get email alerts at least a couple of times a week about specific legislation or candidates that threaten 2nd Amendment rights, which always have a link to their “Political Action” page that automates writing your Representatives and Senators. … Read more

• Fullerton Gang Members Charged With Murder

  A few months ago 6 members of the Fullerton Police Dept. beat a man to death. The murder took place in front of several eye witnesses and so it was clear to me when I read the story that justice would be done and the murderers would have to answer for their crimes. I was going to write a post about it then but I wanted to wait for official charges to be filed, they … Read more

• Scott Walker, Real Job Creator

  For those 25 million out of work, relief is about 1 week away. Although nobody will be watching (let’s see, do I want to watch the Packer/Saints game or Obama stumble through yet another attempt at a big government solution to something it was never suited for? Tough call) a cutting edge sure to please the sycophantic easily impressed WH press corps jobs proposal will be presented, thumb? Meet hole in dyke. With a shovel … Read more

• Another shoe drops…

  The El Paso Times has this article dealing with a new accusation made, in court, by the defense for a Mr. Vicente Zambada-Niebla, who was extradited to the United States to face drug-trafficking charges in Chicago of all places, a top lieutenant in the Sinaloa cartel, that’s very disturbing. The accusation? Heck, let me just post the article and let you know what this lawyer is alleging that agents in employ of our federal government … Read more

• Fuck the Both of Yous

  This really captures how I feel:

  Over the course of history, Congress and the White House have seen highs and lows. Times that can be remembered with pride and other times when politicians failed to meet the American people’s expectations. Right now, we are at a very, very low point—the worst I’ve seen since I moved to Washington in September 1972. Never in my memory have both parties and both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue appeared
