I've done a courtesy search for the term step 11 for you. See if you can find what you're looking for in the list below:

• Thou Shalt Cover

  As I said on Twitter, the Obama’s administration’s ridiculous fight against the ministerial exemption — a fight they lost 9-0 in the Supreme Court — suddenly make sense:

  The Obama administration announced today it will wait for a year (coincidentally until after the elections) before requiring religious organizations to comply with an Obamacare mandate that they provide coverage for contraception — including controversial drugs that can abort an early pregnancy.

  This started with a

• Shoulda Called Bain

  Risk/reward, success/failure, supply/demand, capitalism and the free market system is not fair, does not play favorites, and does not redistribute wealth. It exists in a predatory state whereby you either sink or swim, no treading water allowed. And nobody or no company is exempt from it’s affects, unless government steps in with it’s Too Big To Fail nonsense, but this post in not about that.

  Some rather big companies are in the news lately concerning … Read more

• Whizzing On The Taliban

  We live in the TMI age, no getting around that. Video cameras in every cell phone and who doesn’t have a smartphone now? The fact of the matter is this, if you are out in public, anywhere, you have no expectation of privacy so whatever you are doing, factor in the possibility of it going public. There are some definite advantages to this, want to see naked pics (or a sex tape) of such and … Read more

• A Criminal Nation

  There is a disturbing trend in America wrt our bureaucratic overloads trying to solve every problem and correct every mistake by enacting new and more onerous laws. I wish I could blame this all on Obama, it is more convenient and tidy that way, but this has been going on for about 30 years now. Yes, he has quickened the pace and gone nuts in the process, but he was passed the baton and did … Read more

• Politifact Politicized

  I have a sort of like-dislike relationship with Politifact. I think they are useful for gathering facts and providing background. I actually find their long-form articles, where they hash out the details of claims and allow both sides to make their case, much more illuminating than their offhand ratings, which are a bit arbitrary. They are certainly superior to, say, Media Matters, which unabashedly touts the liberal line. But I do occasionally find they get … Read more

• Getting The Arab Spring Beat Out Of You

  Egyptian protestors had no idea the consequences of getting put on the cover of Time, but one thing I want to know, who sent Fullerton Police Department to Cairo?

  Much of this stuff is absolutely brutal, and I seriously doubt those are rubber bullets being used.

  With the first anniversary of the Arab Spring origin, we are left the cold reality that governments do not form in a vacuum, that removing your dictator is only … Read more

• Father Of The Year?

  Today we have another installment of ,”What say you, jury?”. In Minnesota there is a dad that showed us the criminal side of being out of control at his son’s basketball game:

  An Eagan man is charged with domestic assault after witnesses say he attacked his son at a basketball tournament Saturday.

• Hey, Anyone See My Missing Drone?

  Having sophisticated (expensive) super secret spy shit is nice to have, keeps you one step ahead of your enemies, unless, of course, you are so careless as to not keep track of your new toys:

  Iran’s Press TV on Thursday broadcast an extended video tour of the U.S. spy drone that went down in the country late last week–and it indeed looks to be intact.

  American officials have acknowledged that an unmanned U.S. reconnaissance

• Peel It Slowly

  The religion of Islam, comedy gold. How great would it be if all those whacky Islamist were like the Amish, ya know, eccentric in their own ways but peaceful and rather endearing. Colloquial interactions are similar, instead of “thee’s” and “thou’s”, Muslims use “Jihad” and “death to America”, but they don’t quilt and would not know Shoe Fly Pie if they stepped in it. I’m trying to imagine a movie version of “Witness” with a … Read more

• Leave the Drugs, Take the Money

  So we’re selling guns to Mexican drug cartels. What’s the next step? Laundering their money, apparently:

  Undercover American narcotics agents have laundered or smuggled millions of dollars in drug proceeds as part of Washington’s expanding role in Mexico’s fight against drug cartels, according to current and former federal law enforcement officials.

  The agents, primarily with the Drug Enforcement Administration, have handled shipments of hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal cash across borders, those
