My Thoughts on Ft. Hood and Two-Gun Hasan

It is disheartening to read all the various apologia and hand-wringing conjecture going on about what REALLY caused (Maj) Hasan to go all Al Qaeda at Ft. Hood. Some have even taken to invoking the Klebold Defense, something to the effect that he was bullied because he was a Muslim, he was a social outcast, [...]

Mindless Ramblings and General Blitherings

I have this vague sense that sitting at my desk, drinking Cherry Coke and wolfing down Honey BBQ Fritos by the fistful while surfing slightly off-kilter webcomics isn’t exactly what I’m getting paid to do.  But oh well.
I find this webcomic strangely compelling.

I was thinking of starting my own webcomic, but then I realized I [...]

Q: How do you know when Obama is lying?

A: His lips are moving.  (Remember, Obama started out as a lawyer.)
There’s been much ado lately about the posters with the Obamanation dressed out to look like the Joker from Batman.  I think they chose the wrong villian.  It should have been Two-Face.
Today via Patterico, I read about the Obama Adminstration stance which is threatening [...]

Greenpeace isn’t dead yet?! Durnit.

Only Greenpeace would think that Obama isn’t pushing hard enough for the global warming agenda.
Greenpeace activists arrested for banner on Mount Rushmore
Greenpeace activists were arrested Wednesday for scaling Mount Rushmore and hanging a banner next to the carved face of Abraham Lincoln urging President Barack Obama to get tough on climate change.
Snort. Guffaw. Chortle.  Pres. [...]

It Doesn’t Take A Felony

In response to “The Hidden Costs of ObamaCare,” commentor Kate has asked the most burning question of the day:  If we see so clearly the dangers of the path down which Barack Obama is taking us, what then can we do?  What should we do?
I say, ask instead what  MUST we do?
By way of an answer, [...]

Cap and Trade Passes

This is what a Democratically controlled congress gets you.
Cap and Trade in all it’s glory. Hello $5 a gallon for gas, and double or triple your electricity bill in the next 10 years.
Bastards.  We are so phuq’d.

Obama’s Fairy Dust

I found a great article in Forbes magazine on the current state of disarray in the banking/finance industry, and a pretty good run down of the causes, what did happen vs. what SHOULD have happened, etc., entitled “Obama’s Fairy Dust” by John Tamny.
Here is one especially telling quote:
In that sense, the true contributor to our economic [...]

Why I Hate The Environment

They took out the paper towels in the bathroom to save paper, and replaced it with an electric blow dryer thing. Ah, but wait, to save electricity, it is a low power “green” dryer that essential wafts a warm breeze over my hands.
I want enough wind power to peel skin cells off the back of [...]

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 [...]

Seriously, dude. What’s with the HAIR?!

I’m old and crusty enough to remember when being “GQ” was a good thing for a guy.  An air of sophistication, shades of Cary Grant or Robert Mitchum.  Suave, debonair, well groomed.

What is it with today’s latest crop of shock tops?  These guys look like troll dolls in need of a haircut.

And while I would [...]
