It looks like Amish and Gangster Paradises are colliding… From The Buffalo News: An Amish teen who tried to flee police faces charges of alcohol possession and “overdriving an animal” after he crashed his getaway vehicle— a horse and buggy. Cattaraugus County sheriff’s deputies reported over the weekend that Levi E. Detweiler, 17, ran a stop [...] In JohnFN’s post about Christopher Hitchens’ memoir David Marcoe commented on his frustration with Christopher Hitchens, mainly regarding his vocal and often vicious attacks on religion. A lot of us here like to philosophize a bit, many of us are also practicing members of a religious faith and many of us also admire guys like [...] Too bad so many winos don’t have shoes… of course shoes aren’t necessary for Mad Dog and Boone’s Farm. Share on Facebook I’m not sure, but thank God they did. Here’s an interesting article from The Atlantic on just that — the cocktail: Last fall, I visited a new restaurant and lounge in London called Hix. It specializes in revivals and adaptations of early-19th-century British libations, including a rum shrub of the sort one might have sipped [...] Turns out the more educated a woman is the more heavily she drinks. Science tells me so. From the London Daily Telegraph: Women’s alcohol consumption can even be predicted from their scores in school tests taken when they are as as young as five. Women who achieved “medium” or “high” test marks as schoolgirls are [...]
The mighty Kurt Schlichter has a wonderful, new piece up at Big Hollywood. Read the whole thing. The below excerpt is where he sums it all up. This is exactly what we need to do. What we must do. Call them on it. Most people are too afraid to speak up, even when they [...] Ten toasts to use today: 1. May your giving hand never fail you. 2. May we all be alive at this same time next year. 3. May the Lord keep you in the palm of His hand, and never close his fist too tight! 4. May you live as long as you want and never want as long as [...] Take your pick for a fave, folks, from Billboard’s list of musician mugshots. I’m still stunned Ol’ Blue Eyes was brought in on a charge of adultery and going with Ozzy in a St. Louis Blues jersey, George Clinton running a close second. It’s been a busy week for our less law-abiding celebrities. Not only did [...] I don’t want to belong to any Congress that would have me as a member. As I wrote in an earlier post, I think the Republicans failed to hit a home run today. They made some good, key points, but I think they failed to communicate what is most essential. Here is a [...] [I received the below e-mail and the above picture from an avid threedonia reader in China. I know we've also got some readers in Russia. If we could just get a few in Cuba we'd have the Communist world covered. (Brian, I deleted your last name. If you want folks to know more about [...] Screenplay by Roger Ebert, He’s an artiste! A few weeks ago Outlaw posted a very nice article by Roger Ebert. I took the occasion to speak my mind about Roger in the comments. I also received a lot of heat at John Nolte’s old place for stating a negative opinion of Mr. Ebert. Why? About ten years [...] The College Widow got me thinking… I really do like that video of James Brown performing “Gravity,” and it’s Friday… Back in the Old Dirty Harry’s Place days Floyd, John Nolte and I had a tradition of sharing moments from classic films that we loved on Fridays (John carried the tradition on to Big Hollywood and an [...] “Whatever it is, I’m against it!” Alright students, listen up. I’ve had all I can take of this Climate Change/Global Warming/Ice Caps receding/El Nina/El Nino/CO2 Good/CO2 Bad/Carbon Footprint/Carbon Offset/Cap and Trade/Crap and Trade nonsense. In the words of Popeye the Sailor, “that’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more!” I know this is [...] Massachusetts State Senator Anthony Galluccio, a Democrat (not that you’d know that from reading the AP story) appears to be positioning himself as a challenger to replace the late Senator Ted Kennedy in the upcoming special election. The Boston Globe gives the details: Cambridge police gave state Senator Anthony Galluccio a ride home early the morning of [...] On today’s radio program Glenn Beck commented on President Obama’s first address to the nation after the Fort Hood attacks. If you live in New York city, or get satellite radio you may have heard Andrew Wilkow making similar comments. Fort Hood was a terrible tragedy and I would not ordinarily nitpick about some-one’s initial reaction. I [...]
She’s a rich girl, and it’s gone too far… From Spinner.com: TV personality Rachael Ray is on a mission: to get Hall and Oates into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We’ve known that Ray is a lover of the more rock-flavored variety of the Hold Steady and the New York Dolls, but after [...] This was very under-reported, and will likely be news to you, but Sarah Palin, former Governor of Alaska, wrote on her Facebook page that one of the proposed health care bills features “death panels.” Although the term “death panel” does not appear in the bill, the bill did contain language about “end of life” panels that has [...] Over at her blog, Shredded Cheddar (and that’s a great blog name, by the way), threedonia regular Enbrethiliel has “tagged” me with some internet meme thingamajig. I’ve never done one of these before, and I refuse to participate in the “send it immediately to 7 of your closest friends or your harline will recede and you [...] More than 1/10 of Whites may have what’s called the “Churchill Gene”, according to this article in Prospect Magazine. The gene enables one to drink heavily and yet still function at a high — even enhanced — level. Yet until recently science has had little to say about alcohol and the creative process, confining itself [...] Have you ever wondered: 1. Is it good if a vacuum really sucks? Share on Facebook Here is a great story from The Weekly Standard (its cover story) on the resurgence of the cocktail – and not the sugary concoctions that pass for cocktails — the liberal versions. The cocktail is a lovely simple thing: a mixture of spirits and flavorings that whets the appetite, pleases the eye, and stimulates the mind. [...] James Lileks has a great piece up today at the New York Post on Joe Biden and his “terrible truths” contained in his many gaffes. Here’s a taste read the whole thing: What Biden meant to say, in his puckish way, that they misunderstood what an economy is, and how it works. Piling up a [...] 30 years ago this day the infamous Disco Demolition Day riot occurred at Old Comiskey park in Chicago. Fans were offered entry in exchange for disco records and 98 cents. The disco records were blown up in center field then Chicagoans reverted to form, rioted, and nearly burned the place down. The [...] More here, and just about everywhere else on the Internet, including Threedonia’s Friday Open Thread. (And for the record; we are all in a bar, celebrating Independence Day Eve. Kriskey caught the news on one of those scrolls when he looked at the bar TV to check on the score of the BoSox-Mariners game (tied up [...] Rockrimmon CC security cameras catch Mike as he sits in his hovel trying to mate his claymates “Harvey” and “Phil”. I have begun to worry about Mike as he seems to have become obsessed with A/V Club, the Little Rascals, and various other things. Luckily, he has left his caddy hovel at the [...] He doesn’t say what he wants when he gets the munchies. I wanna guess “Church’s”, but people would call me racist — even if Church’s is really what he wanted. Though I’m sure he really wants to drink champagne after diving the Great Barrier Reef. Share on Facebook Chacun a sont gout. Here’s a site that highlights one-star Amazon reviews of classic movies, books, and albums (do they still call them “albums?”). I wish I’d thought of this—but give me a week, and I will have. Rolling Stones – Let It Bleed The Rolling Stones sucks. Always did and always will. Be advised that Blackhawk has been spotted commenting at Big Hollywood. A little somethin' for the ladies… All personnel to your stations—this is not a drill. (I’m sure he would have posted at Threedonia first, but accessing the site today is like trying to pry a Ring Ding out of Rosie O’Donnells maw.) Share on Facebook The Liberty Manifesto by P.J. O’Rourke P.J. O’Rourke is the Cato Institute’s Mencken research fellow. Remarks delivered at a gala dinner celebrating the opening of the Cato Institute’s new headquarters in Washington. P.J.

The Cato [...] This woman was arrested for breastfeeding while intoxicated. From the report: Grand Forks Police Department officers watched as an “extremely intoxicated” Anvarinia “began breast feeding her infant in front of us,” according to an incident report. Since alcohol can pass from mother to child via breast milk, Anvarinia was arrested for neglecting her six-week-old infant. A little overkill. [...] Share on Facebook Apropos the post on cow whiz below or Hindew as I called it earlier… Share on Facebook For some reason every time I think of Obama’s State of the Union tonight I keep hearing Roadhouse Blues in my head. I want Obama to keep his eyes on the road and his hands upon the wheel. When I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer h/t: Floyd’s sister… from her e-mail: READ STORY FIRST A post by Valerie over at June’s place reminded me of this chestnut from Larry Miller. Sorry there’s no video, but if you haven’t heard Larry do it, give it a listen. “I’ve got’ta run. I’ve got that brunch with Hitler…” Share on Facebook Without getting too specific about Christmas… let’s just say that The Dark Knight Blu-Ray looks awesome on my kids our new PS3 — especially with some Talisker single malt scotch. The kids had a good time too. Share on Facebook According to WINK News Joshua Fagan had a few beers and needed a few more. Fortunately he knew he was too inebriated to pilot his truck to the liquor store on a beer run. So, why not toss the keys to his son and ask him to drive?
