The Times They Are A Changing

Anti-gay speaker booed off stage at CPAC. This is a huge deal. This tells you that the Republican party is, at it's heart, a fiscally conservative socially laisez-faire party. The Evangelical wing of the party has been discredited and essentially ejected and rightly so. Bush was a socially conservative fiscal liberal. The exact opposite of what the GOP (and America) needs. More like this please

I just never get tired of this

It's Obama Vs. Obama!

Obama And Pelosi Buy Health Insurance Or Go To Jail!   <i>Candidate Obama</i> says the <b>most important policy difference</b> between him and Hillary.  Didja get that?  Curious.  Now <i>President Obama</i> things you absolutely must buy health insurance or else.  Not a tax mind you, just something you must pay for under penalty of law.  So, either Mr. Obama was lying then or he and Hillary did some horse trading to get her deal done.  If it's the latter, I don't see the margin in it for her.  Reader(s) are invited to speculate how exactly he ended up here.  p.s. thank you for your continued patience with my non-existent blogging

Candid camera gone wrong

A huge dose of win with a side of awesome.

Lazy blogging again but hey, you get what you pay for dear reader(s). First up: Proof that Karma exists: Turns out the "crossdressers" were cage fighters dressed up for a party. If you ask me, these guys got off easy. That could have been much worse for them. Next up: proof that the French can be intentionally funny: In planetary news: Saturn is freakin' weird. The Mystery Hexagon on SATURN by the-pho3nix Someone page Hawking to 'splain this to me. Last one has no embed (sorry) but it's both oddly compelling and unnerving. It's the world's largest mall and it's almost completely empty. Watch here

as none is needed.

Sounds like my kinda place

“So,” I asked my brother, a student at Manchester University: “the city doesn’t make its money from industry, where does its income come from?” “From bars. The entire economy is based around bars.” “So where do the people get the money to go to bars?” “They also work in bars.” It's like the world's most awesome ponzi scheme.

Sean Thomas Lugano

Today's the day. Seven years gone and the rest of our lives to go. This blog honors Sean Thomas Lugano I knew Sean casually. We went to college together and were on the rugby team together. He was much better than I was. He was very fast and much stronger than he looked. Sean was one of those guys who was reserved but very funny. He wasn't one of those guys who garnered attention by being outrageous or demonstrative. He was just there, always with a smile and quick with a laugh or a joke. He took a lot of flack in college because of his modeling career. He used to model to make money for college and the idea of a rugby player being a model seemed absurd. The only commercial I ever saw him in was for The Gap and ironically, he was playing rugby in the commercial. That seemed to redeem him somewhat in the eyes of his teammates and we didn't rib him much after that. I didn't know Sean well enough to keep in touch with him after college. Occasionally, I'd see him in the...

Oh THAT liberal media

Freeberg got me thinking. Yesterday he wrote: "Just talking to liberals face-to-face, and thinking back on those experiences…I’m having difficulty recalling even just one who was enamored of the liberal position on every single issue across the board." It's one of those things that I always knew but had never really put into words. More like one of those "ah ha" moments when someone precisely puts into words something you were thinking. Herewith is the latest example Freebergs point: "ABC, NBC Won't Air Ad Critical of Obama's Health Care Plan" . I can remember all the way back to June when ABC ran the completely non-partisan hour long informercial produced and paid for by the Obama administration extolling the benefits virtues of Obamacare. See how that works? When they ran the Obama ad, it was informative and newsworthy. Like anything there are two sides to this issue. ABC and NBC have determined that the other side is merely "p...

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

Obama speaking at Langley in April 2009: I have fought to protect the integrity of classified information in the past, and I will do so in the future. And there is nothing more important than protecting the identities of CIA officers. So I need everybody to be clear: we will protect your identities and your security as you vigorously pursue your missions. I will be as vigorous in protecting you as you are vigorous in protecting the American people. Remember that "outing" Valerie Plame was treason! Obama actually tips his hand here by using his tell. The one that let's you know he's going to lie to you. Can you spot it? Sure you can, "So I need everybody to be clear ". So, with Obamacare about as popular as turd in a punchbowl and his approval rating tanking, he's found his previous pledge really inconvenient. So he resurrects the Ghost Of Bush's Past to distract the rubes: Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has named a veteran federal ...

Godspeed

Godspeed Senator . No ill spoken of the dead here. He served his country. Rest in peace

This one does too

Speaks for itself

One. Friggin. Mile.

I'm a little late to the party on this one but it's worth reading: A SCOTTISH soldier has been praised for making the longest recorded kill in Afghanistan after shooting a top Taliban fighter from almost a mile away. Corporal Christopher Reynolds took out the Afghan drug lord during some of the hardest fighting of the war so far. The 25-year-old, of 3 Scots, The Black Watch, kept watch on a shop rooftop for three days to eliminate the target. But he admitted the top-level Taliban fighter – known as Musa – was so far away it took him a couple of attempts to get the aim right. Initially Musa, who was with four men, did not even realise he was being shot at. But Cpl Reynolds, of Dalgety Bay, in Fife, together with his spotter Lance Corporal David Hatton, worked out different factors such as wind speed and the trajectory of the bullet to hit the target. Musa, who was more than 1,500 metres away, was taken out with a single shot to the chest. Cpl Reynolds, who has killed 32 Taliban ...
