*zing*

Fun fact: out of the most-recent/contentious Presidents in history, only President Clinton’s approval rating was lower than President Barack Hussein Obama’s this far into his term.
Given that Our Glorious President is an inveterate narcissist, that really has to burn……

building equity

The housing market sucks. Builders are having enough trouble selling the houses they have already built, so slabs, half-built homes, and empty lots are sitting there, accumulating dust. So what did one local builder do? Put his employees to work, tilling fields:

They may not have built any houses

manufactured criminals

There is a very famous quote of Ayn Rand’s concerning laws, those who abide them, and those who break them… Today in my reading of Atlas Shrugged, I finally found the full quote, in its entirety:

Dr. Ferris smiled. “Don’t you suppose we knew it?” he said, his tone

just cause

Why do I carry a firearm whenever I am out in public, and why do I keep a well-armed home? Because gos-se like this just keeps happening:

A 15-year-old prowler was shot Friday night in a face-off with a South Knox County homeowner, authorities said.

The shooting happened just

the difference a day can make

Do you vehemently, openly, and vociferously disagree with a white, Republican President?
Good for you! Dissent is the highest form of patriotism!
Do you vehemently, openly, and vociferously disagree with a black, Democratic President?
YOU RACIST!!11!!1!!!
*sigh*…

so goes the country

Apparently our Glorious President had a sit-down with George Stephanopoulos recently, and the following quote came out of that interview:

STEPHANOPOULOS: That may be, but it’s still a tax increase.

OBAMA: No. That’s not true, George. The — for us to say that you’ve got to take a responsibility to

mad libs

Today’s installment of bigoted, anti-rights screeds comes from “MikeB302000” yet again, and is actually a two-fer… I would remind my readers that while these “quotes” are slightely edited, the core message remains the same, no matter the specific vocabulary used.
At any rate, in response to law-abiding citizens …

box the fourth

The fourth box arrived on Saturday, as a prime indication of why the USPS is in such trouble… when first-class mail from Atlanta gets to Knoxville after priority mail from San Diego, there might just be a problem with your routing system.
At any rate, the package in question contained …

box the third

The third package… well, the third package is going to have to wait a little while for an explanation, unfortunately. However, by way of a teaser, you can have this:

Good fun.…

box the second

The second package had all of three total days of transit from Kalifornistan, including the sending and receiving days… Occasionally (very occasionally), USPS Priority Mail actually works out alright. At any rate, this one included items that bore no relation to the first one – in fact, only two of …

box the first

By what can only be descibed as a postal convergence, I happened to receive four packages between yesterday and today… What is impressive about that is that one of those packages was ordered over a month ago, while another package was ordered a scant four days ago, and the rest …

uncannily appropriate

Today’s hold-my-breath-and-read marathon brought out two interesting quotes from Atlas Shrugged… first:

Do you wish to know whether that day is coming? Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compusion – when you see

puts us to shame

those unruly masses

From the mouths of the totalitarians:

I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw this, myself, in the late ’70s in San Francisco. This kind of rhetoric was very frightening, and it created a climate in which violence took place.

So I …

careful what you wish for

About a week ago, one of my Obamabot commenters brought up the point that President Bush did not “give the country a good reputation” around the globe, while simultaneously implying that our Glorious President (the current one) is working to change that. Well, current events would seem to support that …

You know what would be awesome?

If sites like Ammo Engine and Gun-Deals.com would do a mobile version for Pocket IE and the like.
That way, when I come across in-stock ammo, I don’t have to wonder if I’d get a better deal on ammo from teh interwebz.…

We’re the only ones…

Smuggling stolen cars across state lines while filing racial discrimination lawsuits against our own departments enough.
Sorry, couldn’t resist it.…

proof of concept

You can hardly tell from the picture, but there is one of those little Ikea/putt-putt golf pencils inside of that lanyard:

Why? Well, stick around, and if my package gets here, you might find out this weekend.…

educating the masses

If you do not have a subscription to Popular Mechanics, you should probably just go ahead and buy October’s edition. I will certainly not deny that PM’s advertisement/fluff – to – useful information ratio has been steadily worsenning over the years, but this particular issue covers governmenta/societal/corporate disaster response …
