President Barack Obama announced Thursday a merger between Italy’s Fiat and stricken US auto giant Chrysler, which is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after debt-restructuring talks collapsed.
Vice president Joe Biden said today he would tell his family members not to use subways in the U.S. and implied schools should be shuttered as the swine flu outbreak spread to 11
Some highly-skilled, intelligent, dexterous men grow up to be doctors, and have hamsters named after them. Some knuckle-dragging, barely-civil, abusive bastards grow up to be knuckle-dragging, barely-civil, abusive bastards, and have a town named after them (and a song, and a statue). Luckily for those of us without…
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. I have to admit, looking at it from the survivability perspective, our current arrangement sucks.
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…
According to news reports, a former student at Hampton University managed to shoot a dorm manager, an unidentified individual who was not a student at the school, and himself. The shooting took place in one of the university’s dorms, and thus far, there have been no fatalities. …
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.
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…
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:
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? Yeah, he lied:
President Obama promised on the campaign trail that he would have the most
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.

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…
Given how well-paying their stock and trade seems to be these days, some enterprising, scumbag pirates took it upon themselves to try to commandeer an Italian cruise ship putzing around off the coast of Somalia. However, in a refreshing change from previous instances, this cruise ship’s security detail happened to…
So I got my ass handed to me at the prerelease… And we got there too late to collect our own promotional card, which was very annoying, given that the limited nature of the promo cards was not advertised before the event. Oh well. Interesting cards, but…
Alright, you halfwit morons – standing with the freezercase open for five minutes, just looking at what is in there, is not going to change the type, quantity, or availability of the products in there. Unless you are actively pawing around, looking for something, or actually removing something from the…
You could not ask for a more-awesomely-timed picture than this one. High explosives being decomposed into energy before your very eyes? Check. Bullet hole that caused this whole reaction still visible? Check. Rifle still recoiling? Check. Absurdly low probability of successfully being photographed? Check. All manner of shiny?…
A former federal prosecutor running for governor approved the tracking of citizens through their cell phones without warrants while he was head of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for New Jersey, civil rights attorneys said Thursday. Christopher
Ok, for all those home-owners and mechanically-minded individuals who read my weblog (both of you), I have some HVAC questions. Better Half and I are currently eyeing a house that is going to need a completely new HVAC system in the very near future – it is currently running a…
Joe Walsh, the city of Knoxville’s parks and recreation director, and Doug Bataille, the county’s parks chief, cited many of the same reasons for opposing the
Can someone please tell us how U. S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano got her job? She appears to be about as knowledgeable about border issues
On the one hand, the Tennessee Legislature has been making massive strides towards recognizing and protecting an individual’s inherent right to self defense. On the other hand, it has also done stupid-assed gos-se like supporting the construction of a statue of Al Gore. Al Gore receiving the…
As per their standard modus operandi, the Commercial Appeal just cannot keep its pages bare of irrational hoplophobia. The first instance of further bigoty and bias from the staff of the Commercial Appeal does not even merit linking, considering it is nothing more than four paragraphs…
Apparently buckets of bolts are getting smarter, with some people believing that we are only 20 years away from a machine that is indistinguishable (mentally, at least) from a human:
Some far-out futurists, such as Ray Kurzweil, an inventor and technology evangelist in Wellesley Hills, a Boston suburb,
Even in this day and age, I can kind of understand how small companies’ online stores may not have the most up-to-date information concerning what items are or are not in stock, especially for stores that are, in any way, associated with firearms or firearm accessories. Shipments arrive unexpectedly, stock…
We therefore conclude that the right to keep and bear arms is “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition.” Colonial revolutionaries, the Founders, and a host of commentators and lawmakers living during the first one hundred years of the
Ever since last Wednesday, left-wing news/media/weblogs/commenters have been desperately and incessantly attempting to demonize, demean, and diminish the Tea Parties held on Tax Day, in addition to those fools/misguided souls/idiots/malcontents/etc. who dared to attend them. Allegations and accusations of racism, hatred, intolerance, stupidity, ignorance, anti-American-ism, fomenting rebellion, and many, many…
Even after our glorious President won his election, defeated the evil right, and promised to bring about a new era of rainbow-farting unicorns and free money for everyone, it appears as though the left just cannot get over their irrational hatred:
The comments are naturally an unscientific indicator,
President Barack Obama extended a hand to America’s hemispheric neighbors on Saturday at a summit where he offered a new beginning for U.S.-Cuba relations and greeted Venezuela’s fiery, leftist president who gave him a book about Latin America’s exploitation by foreign powers.
