full of sound and fury

As you have unquestionably heard by now (I found out by way of a remarkably snippy tweet from the White House), Our Glorious President has finally released his long-form birth certificate

*shrug* 

I have repeatedly written in the past that I really did not care about the specifics …

an interesting comparison

Last week, Senator Lamar Alexander replied to an email I sent him concerning the impending decision from the BATFE on the importability of certain shotguns; at the time, I noted how the letter seemed to consist mostly of grandstanding about the Senator’s past efforts in regards to the Second Amendment, …

spread my good foot up your…

I largely consider myself a non-denominational (or perhaps multi-denominational) Christian, though I have not been to church in quite some time now, and I confess to being occasionally intrigued by the finer points of other religions. I was baptized and raised Episcopalian, educated at Lutheran and Roman Catholic high schools, …

doubling down on failure

Apparently Our Glorious President has already announced that he will be running for re-election next year.

Is anyone surprised by this?

I mean, hell, in the past two years, he has successfully managed to drive our economy into the toilet, increase the federal deficit and debt by previously-unheard-of numbers and …

walking away is not the way to win

In an unsurprising turn of events, it would appear as though the psychological shortcoming of “running and hiding when one appears to be losing a conversation” is one that all anti-rights nuts, of all types and affiliations, seem to share

Next, a man stood up to tell

Mr. President, I have just one thing to say to you:  if you cannot do something right, do not bother doing it at all.

as i was saying…

Remember what I said about Tomahawks and the inventory thereof?

Unlike American dollars, they do not just grow on trees:

Defence insiders say as many as 12 of the weapons have been fired from the hunter–killer submarine Triumph in the past four days.

If this is correct, the [British]

quote of the day – les jones

In case you have been living with your head in the sand (or up your nether regions, depending on your political bent), our government is spending money at a prodigious rate, to the point that “mandatory” expenses now exceed revenues (where “mandatory” means Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and interest on …

the more things change

My random and meaningless opinions and observations on the current situation in Libya (because, really, in the grand scheme of things, who cares what I think?):

– We have no business there. None. At all. Even less business than we had in Iraq. So what are we doing there?

– …

perspective is required

A lot of folks have been making a lot of noise over the damage incurred by the Fukushima nuclear reactor in Japan, and how much damage it could potentially cause. Lots of interesting, and conveniently terrifying, words like “radiation poisoning”, “radiation sickness”, “fallout”, “meltdown”, and so forth have been whispered, …

just when you think they could not get worse…

Remember how the Transportation Security Administration was created and installed in order to guarantee, or at least improve, the safety of the American public as they availed themselves of our comprehensive airplane transportation network?

Yeah, neither do I, actually, but you can witness just how much your “safety” takes a …

quote of the day

This time around, ExurbanKevin wins the award with this comment at SayUncle’s:

I think we finally have definite proof of quantum mechanics. We “know” Obama’s birth certificate exists, but we can’t prove its location (or speed).

I giggled.

At this point, while I have every reason to be suspicious …

starting to wonder about their training

When embarking on kick-the-door-down, SWAT-team-style, room-clearing, flash-bang-banging raids on suspected criminals’ homes, the police have a remarkable record of shooting whatever canine may be present, regardless of whether the dog poses a material threat to the officers or not.

This is not a post about another one of those …

only in america

Want to know how to tell when a country’s rule of law has failed?

Well, take two people: one person “forgot” to pay his taxes for three years, and the other person “forgot” to pay his taxes for four years.

Which person should end up in jail, and which person …

talk about “awkward”

Among other things that are better discussed at other weblogs, the recent WikiLeaks… well… leak has exposed two interesting pieces of information.

First, there really were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq:

The WMD diehards will likely find some comfort in these newly-WikiLeaked documents. Skeptics will note that these

the lesser of two weevils

So apparently Bill Haslam is going to be Tennessee’s next governor.

Ask me in a year if I think that is a good thing.

However, for the time being, I will do the shocking, bipartisan thing, and agree with my “progressive” counterparts – Haslam’s unceasing and erratic flip-flopping gives …

rrraaaccciiiss…. ohwait

Our Glorious President seems to have been taking speech lessons from his Vice President:

“…we can’t have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.

quote of the day

By way of Les Jones:

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”
— Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher (1788 – 1860)

It seems to me that the vast majority of anti-rights advocates – whether we …

actions have consequences

Remember that horrifically disgusting, murderous, anthropogenic-global-warming-cultist commercial from a few days ago?

Sony has yanked their sponsorship of 10:10, the organization behind it.

Serves those bloodthirsty monsters right. …

willful ignorance should hurt

Remember, ladies and gentlepeople – these are the kinds of people the anti-rights nuts would have decide what firearms we law-abiding citizens are permitted to own, or even if we are permitted to own firearms:
