To be perfectly honest, I do not watch the news any more. I do not even go to news sites terribly often, nor do I listen to the radio, nor do I read the newspaper. And, yes, this blackout is pretty much self-imposed – I get frustrated and depressed enough …
In honor of George Takei giving one of the best "Peace, y’all, I’m outta here" monologues I have ever seen come out of a reality television show after his firing from The Apprentice last week, I thought I would take a moment today to remind my readers of a piece …
Or, as I have been saying on Twitter, why wuss out and vote for Romney when you could just man up, go all the way, and vote for Obama? The only difference between those two men is velocity; they …
Way back at the end of the year before last (bit wierd to be saying that, honestly), I happily jumped on the bandwagon announcing the birth of “The Future of Guns Online”, otherwise known as “GunUp”.
Looking back on that, I find myself very happy I did not jump on …
If you do not have any records of your military assets killing a man and dumping his body into the ocean, is he really dead, and did you really kill him?
Obviously the records, photographs, and other documentation for the purported hit are classified and will be kept under wraps …
I still largely intend on keeping my mostly-radio-silence regarding the complete and utter disaster that is known as "Occupy Wall Street" or "Occupy [Insert Location]" (And, really, what have they accomplished in the past few months? Is it any wonder they cannot get or keep a job?), but that does …
There is a whole host of reasons that, despite being a Christian and despite graduating from one of their high schools, the Roman Catholic Church and I never particularly got along. Religions are kind of like that, though, which is why it is just as well there seems to be …
For those who are interested in those kinds of things, this morning a source informed me that Michael Bonomo (aka "mikeb302000") has been banned from Daily Kos*, apparently for maligning, insulting, and libeling veterans; maliciously misrepresenting comments from others in damaging fashions; perpetrating specious ad hominem attacks; and engaging …
I firmly believe (and the evidence indicates) that the current economic situation, and credit downgrade, are the product of years’ and years’ worth of effort by short-sighted morons on all sides of the aisles, but this graphic was just too damned funny not to share:
My parents keep telling me that it is incumbent upon my generation and the generation after me to fix all of the various economic and political problems that their generation and the generation before theirs have created over the past 50 years. Every time they bring that up, I have …
… if I were them. But if I were them, I never would have partaken in an operation that resulted in thousands of untrackable firearms being smuggled across the border into Mexico with full governmental approval, and I would thus never have been an accessory-before-the-fact to countless murders in both …
“Though it is a long step between being disarmed and being murdered - one does not usually lead to the other - but it is nevertheless an arresting reality that not one of the principal genocides of the twentieth century, and there have been dozens, has been inflicted on a population that was armed.” by Daniel D. Polsby
