Ever notice how much Carnac looks like Floyd? When President Obama speaks to America on Tuesday night about the war in Iraq he will be engaged in a political mission, one that will require the ultimate in political finesse. Democrats can’t claim much in the way of success after and year and [...] Exhibit A: Hazards of recoil Mr. Floyd’s excellent post about the EPA declining to try to ban lead in bullets (the opening of the EPA’s press release on the issue read: ‘EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson hailed the Agency’s decision not ban lead bullets, saying: “See, we’re not entirely morons!” ‘) reminded me of a [...] Wikileaks founder and spokeshole Julian Assange was charged and then discharged of rape and molestation by a Swedish prosecutor this past week and weekend. Assange, of course, is trying to paint it as a Pentagon set up. Using our noodle — and the common sense God gave us (or that you inherited from [...] We’re taking it a little easy on RF3D today — 4-6 PM PST on RightTalkRadio, taking calls at 877-942-2178 — with Double Trouble’s Tommy Shannon unfortunately unable to join us (he’ll be on-board as a guest next month, though, closer to the SRV Ride on the anniversary of Stevie’s birthday). However, with Kender “Patriot Missile” [...] A new study shows that astronauts that spend 6 months at the International Space Station become as weak as 80 year olds. Marquette University biologist Robert Fitts, who led the study, stresses that the accelerated space aging is temporary: Astronauts’ muscles recover after a few months back on Earth. But what if a crew needed to make [...] Doc - why I can’t get over my agoraphobia? According to this story, Los Angeles Steve Hermann just completed his latest project: a 13,875 square foot glass walled house. Price tag? $35 million. According to Hermann: “Here I have complete privacy. It allows you to be one with nature inside the house.” Personally, if I want [...] 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 [...]
If you want to know what’s wrong with Illinois, you need look no further. Behold the father and son legal team of Sam Adam Sr. and Jr., ranting like raving lunatics declaring their client the most agrrieved innocent man ever not convicted on the strenght of one dickhead juror who probably couldn’t find his ass [...] Looks like Iran/Israel may be heating up sooner rather than later. From the Jerusalem Post: Former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton said he didn’t see “any signs whatsoever that President Obama would make the necessary decision” to strike Iran’s nuclear reactor, speaking in an interview with Israel Radio Tuesday. Bolton claimed Israel has only [...] After an unexpected week off (no, we weren’t licking our wounds after not being able to figure out what’s up with the Podbean archiving), RF3D’s back in action today — 4-6 PM PST on Right Talk Radio. Guests include the production team behind No No: A Dockumentary, talking Dock Ellis and 70s baseball … comedians Ellen [...] Here’s a good full look at the Israeli response to a nuclear Iran and a portrait of Benjamin Netanyahu (Israeli Prime Minister) from The Atlantic… according to Jeffrey Goldberg… they are fast approaching the point of no return. But the Israelis are doubtful that a man who positioned himself as the antithesis of George W. Bush, [...] H/T man Shane is two for two today — this time featuring the mighty Thaddeus McCotter!!! Share on Facebook Stephen Hawking… super genius… thinks we should abandon planet Earth. Right. Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has some advice for the people of Earth – it’s time to get off. “I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space,” Hawking said to Big Think , a global forum that includes interviews with experts. “It [...] It’s The Expendables week at Chez Porvaznik (yes, milady is almost as psyched to see it as I), and to get in the right frame of mind, alternating between Stallone and non-Sly 80s/early 90s action flicks. Fun walk down memory lane, too, often forgetting how cheese-tastically great the no-apologies dialogue was, notably this (edited for [...] Two aging rockers, an asshole, and pre-Jenny Craig Valerine Bertinelli set to manipulate fans into forgetting original bassist Sometime, maybe 25 years ago, I would have gotten excited about Van Halen recording again with David Lee Roth. My rock and roll tastes took a decidedly wicked (and juvenile snickering) turn upon hearing “Everybody [...] Was honestly wanting to post this earlier today, after reading the St. Nicholas story, but even more on the mind thanks to a CA federal — cough, cough — judge. Share on Facebook Lawyers. Definitely lawyers. Floyd may get a pass, depending on how much man-boobage he subjects us to between now and la révolution. OK, the problem isn’t lawyers per se, it a code of laws and regulations that are so monstrously huge and out of control that they give bureaucrats – especially those who have J.D.s [...] Notice the above… pretty cool postcard huh? Well it wasn’t just a measly postcard. No, it was much much more… See what it was below the fold: Share on Facebook The ongoing WikiLeaks release is being covered by The Guardian here — it seems to me to be the most comprehensive coverage. A lot will be written about WikiLeaks’ motivations…. I don’t know that that is very useful — why does a toddler throw a tantrum? Because he can and because he lacks the wisdom [...] Watch the above… Then read this from The Australian: Correspondence obtained by The Sunday Times reveals the Obama administration considered compassionate release more palatable than locking up Abdel Baset al-Megrahi in a Libyan prison. The intervention, which has angered US relatives of those who died in the attack, was made by Richard LeBaron, deputy head of the US [...] The above is a successful test of an anti-aircraft laser by Raytheon at the Farnborough Airshow in Hampshire. BBC has the story: Peter Felstead, editor of Jane’s Defence Weekly, told BBC News that CIWS was the start of real world applications for military solid state lasers. “OK, so a UAV isn’t armoured, nor is it flying [...] Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 — continuously operating since 1977… and Voyager 1 is headed for the border of our Solar System. From Popular Science Next time you’re marveling at the fact that Spirit and Opportunity have been roving Mars for over six years now, ponder this: the two Voyager spacecraft have been hurtling through [...] Share on Facebook What could go wrong allowing an Italian “artist” to hang his work in Poland? The poster, which went up in June in the western city of Poznan just steps from a synagogue, is an Italian artist’s take on what he calls the “horrors” of the American lifestyle and is one piece of artwork in a contemporary [...] Public housing should be cleared out everywhere immediately…. Welcome to Gaza… er… Alton, Illinois: First responders from the Alton Fire Department and five officers from the Alton Police Department were attacked by a crowd of several hundred people in the Oakwood Housing Complex who shot large bottle rockets at them. The incidents occurred late Sunday and early [...] I try to avoid linking to Steyn because everything the guy writes is more brilliant than anything anyone else is writing. After awhile, the brilliance becomes mundane, but… Readers may recall Ann Coulter’s visit to the University of Ottawa a couple of months back. The Provost, François Houle, had threatened her with criminal [...] 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 [...] If you thought the CG and his staff $#it talking the POTUS from Afghanistan was bad, try this on for size. From The Victory Insitute via BlackFive. The McChrystal Flap: Behind the Scenes David Stein, kicking major ass and actually allowing those named to have their say, doing the hardcore investigative work the ever-dying kamikaze media (you know, journalists) used to do. God bless the new media, and thank you, David, for being on the front lines!!! Now off to get the number of my local SoCal Edison [...] So what the hell is it? Can you guess? The doodles of a bored six year old perhaps? Somebody testing out a new ballpoint? Floyd’s attempt to draw up the official Threedonia organizational chart? What? I’ll give you a moment to ponder, and trust you to be honest enough to post your first guess in the [...] Share on Facebook In a caper which appears to have been planned out after watching ‘Die Hard,’ gunmen set off explosions and took over Iraq’s central bank. The violence began with the bombings — which sent plumes of smoke over the city skyline — although there were conflicting reports about the number and nature of the blasts. The first bomb [...] With friends like the Pakistanis… who needs enemies? From The Times of London: Pakistani support for the Taliban in Afghanistan runs far deeper than a few corrupt police officers, however. The Sunday Times can reveal that it is officially sanctioned at the highest levels of Pakistan’s government. Pakistan’s own intelligence agency, the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence), is said to [...] In the latest installment of Turn It Up Tuesday, had some fun calling Little Steven to the curb, albeit 25 years after the fact, over not knowing (or caring) about the United States’ many instrumental roles in bringing goodness to the world’s occasional evil. Now, however, after finally seeing From Paris with Love, the “why [...] While I’m ordinarily not much of a modern-movie guy (which begs the question: what the hell am I doing blogging at this site?) I did stumble across the super-secret trailer for the A-Team movie sequel. And, I gotta say: it looks AWESOME! Check it out, below the fold. Share on Facebook I’m sure that you woke up wondering: “what’s Rich doing today?” Because the day job involves dealing with the EPA, the answer is pretty much always the same: something stupid. Today, however, is a mite stupider than most. As I write, I’m “in the field” at the factory of one of my clients. I can’t identify [...] Now maybe you woke up this morning and said to yourself “Self. Israel and Turkey might go to war spreading out to a wider Middle Eastern war and maybe involving Europeans. North and South Korea are this close to coming to blows over the DPRK’s sinking of a South Korean ship not to [...] Because I love underdogs … Found over at This Ain’t Hell, what has to be the worst propaganda video ever made. It looks like an AH-64A, shooting gunnery in Korea (judging from the geen mountains in the background and the fact that they are hovering with their anti-collision ligths on), just got hit with an ACME Brand (patent pending) [...] For those who don’t feel they’re quite ready for “The Show” yet … Share on Facebook Sorry if this a little too inside baseball, but this is some cool, game changing, I-Pod age stuff.
