cards up their sleeves

Remember, no one is trying to take away your guns:

Ban the sale, use or possession of 50-caliber or larger weapons, and creates a program to recall those currently legally owned

ride the wires

If you ever wanted to know how the electricity that is currently powering your computer was generated and transmitted to your house, NPR has a relatively spiffy map.

accurate misinformation

In an attempt to capitalize on the publicity surrounding and attention on Tennessee’s Handgun Carry Permit program, News Channel 5 out of Nashville decided to run their own “expose” on the situation.

thinking it through

I was going to be gracious and give President Barack Hussein Obama a pass on the whole Air-Force-One-overflying-New-York-City thing… unfortunately, I can definitely see some unthinking governmental peon being somewhat annoyed that the Press Office’s publicity photos of the President’s carriage have the World Trade Center in the background, and …

bearded old man, wearing a dress

Perhaps it is just me, but I simply cannot stop laughing about the fact that Fox believes that a show called “Lie to Me” should pre-empt our glorious President:

The Fox network is sticking with its regular schedule over President Barack Obama this week.

and this, class, is a prime example…

I am a bit late on this, but if you ever wanted to prove to the internet world that you are a complete and utter asshole, it would appear as though commenter “Tom” has provided you a perfect example to follow over at Tam’s place. Let us do a …

baracky doesn’t know

As time progresses, it becomes more and more obvious that our glorious President is completely and utterly disfunctional without his precious teleprompter:

President Obama’s speech at the National Academy of Sciences Monday morning hit a brief snag when Obama got ahead of his script.

well that explains a few things

As a long-time Browncoat who has watched both Serenity and the entirety of Firefly far too many times (speaking of, I need to break them out again sometime soon), I confess to being somewhat embarassed for not having caught this cross-story tie-in before. Consider this image:

the president who keeps on lying

Remember how President Barack Hussein Obama said he was going to change how Washington works, and usher in a new era of government transparency and openness, and all that good stuff?

break out the funny orange suits

If you want to watch the decline and fall of civilization as we know it (otherwise known as “some influenza bug that uses pigs as carriers”) in really close to real time, Google Maps has your hookup.
Looks like us cousin-humping rednecks are still safe.…

no agenda here

Given their silence on the topic for the past few weeks, I guess I should not be surprised that Chris Peck and the rest of the editorial staff of the Commercial Appeal are back at their old bigoted hijinks.
I will not waste my time on a line-by-line fisking …

never wrestle with a pig

Alright, what the hell is this gos-se:

NAPOLITANO SAYS US SHOULD SHOULD PREPARE FOR NEW FLU OUTBREAK SOON EVEN IF THIS ONE FIZZLES OUT

Ignoring the atrocious grammar and one-lined nature of the report, what the hell is the Secretary of Homeland Security doing fear-mongering and generating up rumors …
