If freedom of speech means anything at all, it is the freedom to say things that people do not want to hear.~George Orwell There are certain words and phrases, the simple mention of which immediately evoke irritation, disdain, and trepidation in the American consciousness. Not the least of these phrases is “thought police.” It’s not that [...]
This post about (surprise) a liberal that doesn’t understand how to run a military not withstanding, I’ve been considering voting for Obama in November. I will allow time for those that have fallen out of their chairs to return. Okay, so why would I do such a thing? It’s simple….
Yesterday I drove back to Bloomington to get the rest of my stuff. I got almost all of it, but along the way I saw a billboard. It was something like this: Which, to me, sounds a lot like this: More evidence is now coming out that makes the current propaganda thinking global warming sound suspiciously like [...]
…nobody will do it, right? One of my crazy, leftist facebook friends posted a link to a “lie in”. They’re protesting how easy it is for “dangerous people” to get guns. Obviously making it harder for everyone to get guns will solve the problem, right? So people who obey the law will have even more hurdles [...]
Lileks has a great column today about how it’s un-PC to love America unless you temper your comments with sufficient criticism. But. Someone somewhere is a practicing Baptist and someone somewhere else is eating a hamburger larger than you’d prefer, and other people are watching cars go around a track at [...]
So yesterday someone found my blog searching for “Hillary Clinton Rocks”. Wondering how this travesty could occur, I tossed the search into Blingo myself. What I found was mildly amusing: #3. Heh. The internet is funny sometimes. Hillary Clinton Rocks! (Just kidding)
Wow: “I have a plan - a moratorium on foreclosures for 90 days [and] freezing interest rates for five years, which I think we should do immediately,” Clinton announced at what was the last Democratic debate before the Nevada Caucus on Jan. 19. I’m sorry, what? I realize that the problem with this [...]
Ask MetaFilter is a site where random people can ask questions and other random people can answer them. Half to three-quarters of the answers, in most cases, are ridiculous (especially when legal advice is requested). Less than that proportion of the questions are ridiculous, but this one is: So back a few years ago, [...]
So, Kristina took a little “which candidate should I like” quiz. Unsurprisingly she’s got a bunch of crazies at the top of her list. To make sure law school hadn’t melted my brain, I took it too. 79% John McCain77% Mitt Romney75% Mike Huckabee72% Fred Thompson68% Rudy Giuliani64% Tom Tancredo64% Ron Paul57% Bill Richardson47% Hillary Clinton47% [...]
I’ll admit, I haven’t been keeping an overly close watch on the primary campaigning. I learned a long time ago that we will never nominate anyone who would actually make an outstanding, principled president… so when November rolls around, it’ll just be the lesser of evils again. The puzzling thing, though, is all of the hype [...]
