Best of all it isn’t government subsidised and it burns gasoline. Worst of all it’s missing the Yellow/Orange paint scheme of my youth…boo.

The 9th Circuit Delivers Again

Anybody see my Medal of Honor? I seem to have misplaced it.

Last week, it was against the law for me to make such a claim. Now? Not so much. Thanks to the 9th Circuit, you’ll soon be able to order your replica MOH from the Franklin Mint and display it proudly above your mantle. Act [...]

Let Them Eat Flan

(from the Washington Times)

MARBELLA, Spain (AP) — Security was tight at the posh Hotel Villa Padierna in southern Spain as Michelle Obama and her 9-year-old daughter Sasha arrived for a summer vacation in a motorcade.

Mrs. Obama was accompanied by longtime family friends but did not identify them.

The first lady will also pay an [...]

August 6, 1945

…and some Japanese are still pissed. I’d tell them to go and try peddle their pity party in Seoul, Korea and see how that works out for them. Don’t like how your war ended maybe your country shouldn’t have started it.

Take a look at this

I notice nobody ever protests or marks the anniversary [...]

Gay Judge Strikes Down CA Constitutional Ban on Gay Marriage

Federal judge overturns CA gay marriage ban.

A federal judge overturned California’s same-sex marriage ban Wednesday in a landmark case that could eventually land before the U.S. Supreme Court to decide if gays have a constitutional right to marry in America.

Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker made his ruling in a lawsuit filed by two gay [...]

Bush's Fault

Not only did W “drive American into a ditch, ” it seems that he pissed off a certain giant gasbag (and I’m not talking Al Gore!) How else could we explain the following? According to FOX:

Earth is bracing for a cosmic tsunami Tuesday night as tons of plasma from a massive solar flare head directly [...]

This is THE crux of this election… actually, it has been the crux of every election since 1788.

A Gentle Answer Turns Away Wrath…

This is awesome… not the way I’d train my employee, but these things don’t always work according to corporate’s plan.

And I like the way the story is presented straight up — no editorializing that I noticed.

Hanging Sun

John Derbyshire at NRO’s The Corner links to an interesting story from the BBC about two recent executions in Japan. From the BBC:

The two prisoners, both convicted killers, were hanged at the Tokyo Detention Centre.

Justice Minister Keiko Chiba – who opposes the death penalty – witnessed the executions and announced the formation of a [...]

Now back to those fun-time motivational posters ...

Fun-time (though NSFW) applicable video here.

Rangel Tangle

We’ve always known Charlie Rangel is as crooked as a dog’s hind leg. Hell — he won the seat from a crooked politicians around Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. back in 1970. And while it’s not the indictment leading to the living the rest of his life behind bars he deserves — being charged [...]

Not quite a motivational poster

… but still pretty damn funny. So glad fewer people are falling for the bait and/or are fighting back against these thugs.

YES!!

Let me start by saying that despite a foot that is 110% lead I have had only two tickets in my entire driving life — one in high school and one in 1996 outside of Needles, CA and I’ve had a dozen warnings or so. I hate traffic cameras with the heat of one [...]

Top Five: New laws

Here ye, here ye, I King JohnFN the First decree these laws the law of the land. If you disagree, we can argue over a case of Miller Lite, a tailgate, and plenty of ammunition, maybe a scrap car or two to shoot up.

1. If you add a law, you have to get rid of [...]

Coyotes, Hobbes, and The State of Nature

Kevin Williamson of The National Review has a tour de force column from the print version that they have posted online. It is one helluva read. Here’s a bit — go read the whole thing here:

To use lethal force in self-defense is the ultimate declaration of independence, a kind of momentary secession from [...]

They don't care where they kick, just as long as they hurt you

Being a Republican candidate in LA County never gets easy. Mark Reed, running against longtime U.S. Congressional incumbent Brad Sherman in the 27th District, learned that the hard way tonight at an allegedly public townhall meeting at Temple Ramat Zion in Northridge.

According to Mr. Reed, with whom I spoke mere minutes ago, immediately after the [...]

North Korea’s coach Kim Jong Hun

North Korea… as Eric and Kit may know was defeated 7-0 in the early round of the World Cup a few days ago. This happened to be the first game televised to the nation by Kim Jong Nutsack. From Adelaide Now:

Seems the result may not have tallied too [...]

Because I Can Hubba: Robert Pattinson

Because he sure brings Teh Pretty.

Because in his interviews, he’s self-deprecating & funny — it’s the Brit in him — and that makes him the perfect man.

Because he refused to rise to the bait of the dumbass Entertainment Weekly reporter who tried to get him to knock author Stephenie Meyer’s Mormonism.  He obviously likes and [...]

Another Effect Of Idiots Running Their Mouths

An idiot runs his suck in response to GEN McChrystal’s aides being unable to keep their pie holes shut during their dealings with the infamous Rolling Stone reporter.

I spotted this article in the Washington Post, which of course reaches all the wrong conclusions.

Scrub-a-dub-dub

More less-than-shocking Orwellian behavior from the bastion of lunacy over at MoveOn.now MoveOn.org. Must be nice to live in a world of magic pixie dust, where consequences for one’s action can (attempt to) be erased with a few keystrokes on the ol’ laptop.

MoveOn.org has scrubbed its website of criticism of General David Petraeus. The [...]

Stormy Weather

I’m one of those people who enjoys a good thunderstorm. They’re awesome. I’ve never really been even nervous in a thunderstorm, but the whopper that blew through as I was driving home from work yesterday scared the poop out of me. The rain blowing horizontally across my windshield was coming down so hard that the [...]

Get a Bigger Boat

This is a 10 foot long Great White Shark… it wasn’t hit by a boat or by a shark hunter… it was bitten by a 20 FOOT Great White Shark. Ay caramba! From The London Daily Mail:

A ‘monster’ great white shark measuring up to 20 ft long is on the prowl off a [...]

The Call That Started It All

Apparently Glenn Beck came across the transcript:

“General McChrystal’s office.” “Yeah, man, this is Rolling Stone magazine and, like, dude, we’d like to do, like, an interview with, like, the guy who heads up all the baby-killers.” “Just a minute, I’ll put you right through.” (Phone ringing). “Yes?” “General McChrystal?” “Yes.” “Some dope-smoking hippie is on [...]

Stewart Notices Both The Emperor And His Attire

I like Jon Stewart, which is not the same as saying that I watch his show, but I do like the guy even if I usually don’t agree with him. Unlike the thoroughly despicable Bill Maher, Stewart is both witty and intelligent. He wants the same things most of us want, no matter our differences [...]

The Core Danger

Here is a sobering piece from The New Criterion called “Morals & the Servile Mind” by Kenneth Minogue. Here’s a bit… more on the concept as I’ve been mulling over this awhile:

My concern with democracy is highly specific. It begins in observing the remarkable fact that, while democracy means a government accountable to the [...]

Hare Today - Hare Tomorrow

Sorry ladies – he’s married.

Democrat Phil Hare, another member of Illinois’ congressional delegation of which we are so very proud, has been busy doing what Phil Hare does so well: acting a douchebag. Hare first entered the national spotlight when he said that he “doesn’t care about the Constitution” in response [...]

A Legacy of Heroes

Recently a reader of this site asked me if I could attempt to educate the masses about the history of rotary-wing aviation and the US Military. Being a somewhat obscure topic I apologize in advance if some of you find this boring and pedantic…but it is a topic near and dear to my heart for [...]

66 YEARS AGO

June 6th, 1944 the final fight to free Europe began. During the invasion alone there were over 10,000 causalities, with 2500 of those killed in action.

For you history buffs what are your favorite books/films based on the invasion?

Just Doing My Job

David French writing for The Corner at the National Review On-Line has some interesting things to say about awards and decorations in the Global War on Terror (can we still call it that?).

Are we less courageous now? Or is the military stifling valor awards in a labyrinthine bureaucracy dominated by rear echelon second-guessers?

Mr. Crowley, duhn-duhn-duhn

"Some say that's progress, I say that's cruel."

A favorite of Radio Free Threedonia (we hardly knew ye), Yes, But, However’s David Stein doesn’t have to dig too deep to expose the latest in an ever-growing line of White House-associated radicals.

Even before the Democratic nominee was chosen, Mr. Crowley was already calling upon President Bush’s [...]

Your Tax Dollars At Work, Part 2 in a continuing series

I had the pleasure of attending the 2010 Cowtown (that’s Fort Worth to y’all who ain’t from around here) Warbird Roundup, and shot these examples for your viewing pleasure. Yeah, it wasn’t a clear blue day…but it was a great day to be an American.
