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

• Weekend Roundup

  As of tonight, I am on the other side of the world. Actually, most people would say I blog like someone on from a completely different world. But in this case, it’s literally true: I’m back in Australia. As a result of preparations and travel, I’ve missed the biggest news stories of the week. So I’ll go through them quickly in a weekend roundup form to hopefully start a few (well-reasoned) fights.

  ….

  First, Indiana … Read more

• Boy, Do I Feel Safe

  More hi jinks are a foot at our local airports, and these I can’t blame on TSA. We all know about the zero common sense tolerance approach that Homeland Security takes in keeping us safe from those olive complected terrorists, keeping one step ahead of the jihadists is no small feat, so when John and Yoko decided to come pay us a visit, they got the welcome wagon is spades, God save the queen:… Read more

• Why Bill Maher Is A Horse’s Ass

  Because he’ll take a seemingly legitimate point and drop into a vat of stupidity. Here’s the clip everyone is talking about:

  Buried within that stupidity is a legitimate point that the Republican leadership and a large part of the punditsphere are campaigning against a partially imaginary candidate. I’ve pointed out before that the “apology tour” stuff was bull and that Obamacare, bad as it is, was hatched in conservative circles and is to the right … Read more

• The Fiefdom Of Daniels

  Fresh from his national ascension to prominence, kicking Obama ass all over the stage the other night, Mitch Daniels and Indiana is making more hay. Championing the cause of choice, letting workers decide for themselves by what conditions they are bound and by whom they are aligned, Indiana is on the cusp of making right-to-work “G” rated again:

  In another blow to organized labor in the traditionally union heavy Midwest, Indiana is poised to

• LSM is again not reporting a huge story

  Stalin was famous for saying the following:

  “It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.”

  By that he meant that people like him believed that elections where just a means to an end, and thus, the real power came from the vote counters. The progressives have agreed with Stalin on this forever, and have actively pursued … Read more

• We Will Decide How Much You Can Keep

  The “Speaking Of Geniuses” thread is still active, your money and how much of it you get to hold on to is near and dear to everyone’s heart, but for you corporate tycoons and runners of businesses, remember one thing, Washington wants what is yours and will legislate to steal it:

  Six House Democrats, led by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), want to set up a “Reasonable Profits Board” to control gas profits.

  The Democrats,

• Profiles in Cowardice

  It’s the must-listen audio of the day as the “captain” of the Costa Concordia refuses to obey the Coast Guard’s increasingly angry demands that he return to his sinking ship:

  I ran this by a few native Italian speakers and they have told me the translation doesn’t quite capture the color of the Coast Guard’s language. At one point, he calls Schettino an Italian slang word for penis, the equivalent of calling him a little … Read more

• The Year in TSA

  Hmmm. The TSA blog had a proud post up about their successes in 2011. Let’s go through the list and see how many involve terrorists, shall we?

  #10 was live animals caught in MIA and LAX. These were, um, not even weapons. And the smugglers were not terrorists.

  #9 was a science project that looked like an explosive. So, um, not weapons. And not a terrorist.

  #8 was a metallic martial arms spike. It was … Read more

• Hope Against SOPA

  Two announcements today give hope that the vile SOPA/Protect IP Acts can be deleted. First, SOPA author Lamar Smith has backed down from some of the worst provisions:

  Rep. Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas), one of the biggest backers of the Stop Online Piracy Act, today said he plans to remove the Domain Name System requirements from the Stop Online Piracy Act.

  “After consultation with industry groups across the country,” Smith said in a statement released

• Knee Jerk Much?

  Carrying the discussion over from the other thread, the typical government solutionreaction has raised it’s ugly head:

  All four of the U.S. Marines seen in an outrageous video urinating on dead Afghan bodies have been identified and could face criminal charges ‘within hours’ over the incident, it emerged today.
  Two men have so far been interviewed but not detained – and the group could face criminal charges on Friday of bringing dishonour
