Poetic Justices

Does anyone else find it slap-your-knee hilarious that Obama’s first Supreme Court nominee just got one of her appellate court decisions overturned by….the Supreme Court?
Ah don’t cayuh who you are, that’s funny raht thair.

When the government fears the people…

You know, as I’ve watched and read and listened to all the various outrage, pontification, justification and sometimes even downplaying of the increasingly fervent protests in Iran, vs. the regime’s increasingly violent tactics in suppressing them, I bemusedly have begun to wonder.  Sort of a compare and contrast kind of thing.
I look at the protestors [...]

Hate Crimes and That Cold Chill They Bring.

Listening to the radio on the way to work this morning, I heard something that chilled me to my very core.  I literally got a chill down my spine.  I quite literally spoke out loud, “Oh, shit.”
It was a “top of the hour” news blurb about how the push for Hate Crimes legislation is gaining [...]

Racism = Bad. Racialism = good. Apparently.

So, I have determined that it is only appropriate to focus on a person’s race or gender if you are “heralding” it.  Judge Sonomayor is being “heralded” as the first hispanic Supreme Court Justice.  Barack Obama is “heralded” as the first black president.  Every month is some sort of minority appreciation month where we “herald” the [...]

DHS Report on Right-Wing Extremists Makes Stars & Stripes

There’s a front-page report on the DHS report highlighting the dangers of “right-wing extremists” in today’s Stars & Stripes,  yet strangely I can find nothing about it on their web site.  I wonder if that was an editorial decision to bury the story?  You can’t unprint newspapers, but you can easily delete a link.
There was some [...]

Obama Promises to Hunt Down Muslims

…and give them key White House staff positions?
No link, so can’t verify, but it doesn’t exactly stretch the bounds of credibility, now does it?
One question.  Just one.  What do you think would happen if a report came out that Pres. Bush was soliciting and screening people based on their Christian faith for his staff?
I’ll tell [...]

All Your Businesses Are Belong to Us!

In case you missed it, the President of the United States asked for, and received, the resignation of the the CEO of a civilian corporation, in exchange for the promise of more “bailout” funds.
If I have to explain to you why this is bad….
As a matter of fact, just head on over to Gateway Pundit.  [...]

All Your Health Care Are Belong To Us

WorldNetDaily had this new article this morning:
Economic stimulus? Feds want your medical records
Electronic database to include lawsuit, mental health, abortion, sexual details
 A little-discussed provision in President Obama’s economic stimulus plan would demand that every American submit to a government program for electronic medical records without a choice to opt out, and it has privacy advocates [...]

It’s “Merry Christmas.” Deal with it.

Ya know, I was all set to pen some snarky post about how people just need to get over themselves, highlighting all the manner of mental flatulence surrounding peoples’ bizarre and over-compensating back-bending with regards to political correctness and not “offending” anyone with the grim specter of a baby in a manger.
But then I figured, screw [...]

Shades of Minority Report?

Behavioral screening — the future of airport security?
Security experts say focus is shifting from analyzing the content of carry-ons to analyzing the content of passengers’ intentions and emotions. (my emphasis)
I guess the whole concept of throwing a guy in a room because he’s nervous strikes me as a strange proposition.
Once these technologies are in place, [...]
