Sometimes there is justice

Lynne Stewart is off to the big house for ten long years… Judge nails the bitch to the wall for demonstrating “lack of remorse.” Awesome. U.S. District Judge John Koeltl sentenced Stewart, 70, today in New York. A federal appeals court in November ruled that his first sentence didn’t reflect the seriousness of her actions. …

Walking on the U. S. Flag at Walmart

To his credit, the manager (Terry) at the local Walmart who responded to my complaint was courteous, understood my anger, and voiced agreement with my position.  To the discredit of Walmart, he quoted me their response to the effect of “it is not as significant to everyone else.” He did tell me that he asked …

Disrespecting the Flag, Walmart Style

Today I was in the Walmart store at 561 Yopp Road, Jacksonville, NC and walked past this display.  I was dumbfounded. I spotted store manager “Dave” walking by and asked him if he was aware of this display, and if he knew that it was disrespectful of the United States Flag.  He looked at it, …

The invasion continues

No, this isn’t an illegal immigration post. A proposal to build a mosque steps from Ground Zero received the support of a downtown committee despite some loved ones of 9/11 victims finding it offensive. What. The. Fuck? Imagine the reaction if any non-muslim religion tried to build a house of worship ANYWHERE in Afghanistan, Iraq… …

Life: More GW propaganda?

Visually interesting, pretty damned amazing series, actually. I don’t even mind listening to Oprah’s mildly annoying voice (more suited to bedtime stories than something you’d want to stay awake for). At least until they got to the part about polar bears, and had to throw in the usual “swimming for their life”, “melting ice” crap. …

Race: American

I just filled out my 2010 census form. I didn’t hesitate to check “Some other race” in response to question 9, and write in “American”. I invite every American to do the same, regardless of ancestry. Kudos to Michelle Malkin and Theodore Roosevelt.

Brrr. That was warm.

Don’t worry about your heating bill from last month. Global warming (err, climate change!) scaremongers are hard at work denying your lying eyes. World warming unhindered by cold spells: scientists “January, according to satellite (data), was the hottest January we’ve ever seen,” said Nicholls of Monash University’s School of Geography and Environmental Science in Melbourne. …

That ID theft protection commercial

Not going to mention their name, since I’m not sure they deserve the little free publicity I could provide… but here’s one to think about: In their commercial, they feature a cop who’s identity had been stolen by a fellow cop. He mentions that he noticed something on a credit card bill that he didn’t …

2010 State of the Union

I mentioned this to people at work the other day, but haven’t seen another comment/post/blog about it, so I guess I’d better before I forget. The president has an annoying habit of thumping his hands on the podium when he speaks. I don’t know if he’s always had it and I never noticed, or if …
