Churchill’s Wisdom
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist …
Background Checks
Lots of talk about “expanding” background checks for firearms purchases. Lots of reasonable people on both sides of the argument disagree what that would mean. But so far no one seems to have suggested the obvious – probably because so few in the argument have ever actually participated in what goes into buying a firearm. …
Lowering Gun Violence
This via Jon McNaughton. I have no idea the validity of the numbers, but the sentiment is thought provoking. This morning I was reading a blog entry on Glenn Beck’s The Blaze when I ran across this blogger’s words. I thought it was rather interesting. Here is the post: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/01/18/the-end-of-gun-control-or-anarchy-see-the-chilling-possibilities-created-by-3d-printed-guns/ Rangerskippy said: Want to see a …
The fans write letters!
As promised, this one from the “fans of reality tv” file: This one from one “Breanna (aka Rihanna) Riles“, who has obviously worked long and hard at her studies to write the following: “hello my name is breanna and u may not know me but im from bessemer alabama u may not have heard of it …
Surely we can’t be this stupid?
The President’s spokesman, the former President’s wife (now Secretary of State), and the propaganda media are all repeating the great lie that muslim savages throughout the world have a clue about some video on youtube that “offends” the offensive animals that follow islam. Supposedly this obscure video has led rabid animals throughout the muslim world …
Sorry
So today I heard a news piece on the radio about the commander of US and NATO troops in Afghanistan flying in to a village to personally apologize to some perfectly innocent Afghani citizens who happened to get blown to bits while harboring taliban shitheads simply trying to hold a wedding party. Apparently there was …
Blatant Illiteracy
My contact page is there because I honestly believe that there are valid reasons to leave a reason for people to contact the proprietor of a web page. It’s unfortunate that I share names with a freak in hollyweird that has experienced success feeding manure to idiots. That being said, I’ve gone above and beyond …
Quote of the Day
Young, dumb girl working the register at Food Lion after I walked directly to front of the empty line to check out: “Good thing you got here when you did, if you’d been five minutes sooner, you’d have had to wait fifteen minutes to check out.” Yep. 5 minutes sooner, and I’ve have been stuck …
Where do we sign up for these jobs?
Seriously. Someone went back to work after an extra long lunch one day, and to justify his time says “I was watching a bus idle for TWO HOURS!” The asshole probably got an award. School Bus Company to Implement Anti-Idling Program and Pay Penalties under the Clean Air Act In fall 2010, an EPA inspector …
IT pays
I’ve lately become a fan of Lonerider Beer’s “Sweet Josie”, and tonight, while attempting to access their website, I am greeted with this bullshit: So… who forgot to register the freaking domain? Who’s the manager in charge of hiring a competent IT geek? This is inexcusable. I buy enough of your beer myself to pay …
Rush to Judgement.
Am I the only one who didn’t realize the Martin/Zimmerman case was over a month old when it was introduced by the media? Did those seeking to use this case for political gains use that month to try to clean it up for public dissemination? After all that time, why were we presented with such …
Trayvon Martin
Well, this case might just get interesting. Apparently, a witness has emerged, who says Martin attacked Zimmerman. Let the riots begin! Oh, wait… apparently, the witness may also be something other than a privileged white male. Still doesn’t justify Zimmerman following Martin in the first place. Still doesn’t justify the self-proclaimed neighborhood watch ‘captain’ carrying …
2012
Happy New Year! Let’s hope this year brings an end to the ridiculous situation we’ve endured for the last three years, and blows wide the theory that an ancient culture mapped out our demise. Me, I’m just going to enjoy my black eyed peas and hope for the best!
