Wonder what happens if you push the strategically placed button?

Po Po Shut Us Down

From NBC Washington Via The Jawa Reoprt

A group of young Americans were told to stop singing THE NATIONAL ANTHEM at the Lincoln Memorial by Park Police.

Members of the conservative Young America’s Foundation, were told by U.S. Park Police that they were “were in violation of federal law and their impromptu performance constituted a demonstration in [...]

Ladies, Behold Your Savior!

We may argue whether we live in a man’s world or not, but there’s no denying the progress that women made in the western world in the 20th century. I hate to use the word “equality” when it comes to women’s rights, because it encompasses the idea that there is supposed be a sameness between [...]

“First Kill All The Lawyers” In Love

Literature, art, music: all littered with genius compositions, sprung from the detritus of The Broken Heart.  Shakespeare and “Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing/and like enough thou knowest thy estimate.” …Clapton and the instrumental from Layla…[recently deceased] Johnny Maestro singing the ultimate wedding day blues with “The Worst That Could Happen” (“Baby, if he loves [...]

Oh, Andy!

Ultimately, the only person who knows what’s going on in Andrew Breitbart’s head about the Shirley Sherrod/NAACP video is Andrew Breitbart (and probably his super-cool wife), and, while I won’t argue the guy has done amazing things standing up to the multi-pronged leftist attack dogs, still does not an amazing man make. However, beyond glad [...]

Just Another Day In The Russian Army

Saw this on Fox and various websites around the INTERNETS…

Apparantly the “honey pot” isn’t the only thing the Russians are good at.

Yes Texas District 18, Today You Must Really Be Proud

Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D) tells us all how proud she is that North and South Vietnam are living together in harmony…sort of like black and white keys on a piano.

Also this week she spoke to the NAACP, where she is quoted as saying;

And I thank you professor very much. I’m going to be [...]

Just When You Thought They Couldn't Get Any Stupider; Exhibit 538

Sadly, these episodes will no longer be part of mission briefings.

And then this happened:

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 [...]

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 [...]

Mssrs. Maher and Lee, sure this is what you want?

So the President’s a domestic disaster and his foreign policy’s not too much better either. Sending Gen. Petraeus to Afghanistan, though? I’ll definitely give credit where it’s due, especially when it’s what the previous man in the Oval Office probably would have done.

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 [...]

WTF?!?

From FOX NEWS

Mexican drug cartels have set up shop on American soil, maintaining lookout bases in strategic locations in the hills of southern Arizona from which their scouts can monitor every move made by law enforcement officials, federal agents tell Fox News.

UK Troops Called Baby Killers During “Welcome Home” Parade

From The Sun via The Jawa Report

I realize this is The Sun, but if you go to the link you will see the awful signs and rage displayed by these fine upstanding young Britons. Pray for England.

The Feds Finally Found Someone to Deport

You may remember that a couple of weeks ago John Morton, a top official of the Homeland Security Agency and the man in charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, implied that his people would not be deporting illegal aliens turned over to the federal government by Arizona authorities.

Well, in a classic Obama move, his department [...]

Plus, He's a Nice Guy

Steve Moore, the “viral drummer” (featured here) is not only a hoot to watch, he’s also a decent, honorable fellow. Check out this quote from an interview he did with Philadelphia Weekly:

Q. Is it kind of like winning the lottery?

A. It really is, and I’ll tell you this — and this isn’t a [...]

All Hail The Viral Drummer!

He’s all over the web, so why not a stop at Threedonia?

When I was a kid, my musical instrument of choice was the drums. It didn’t take me long to realize that I sucked, and I put my sticks away. (Something to do with not possessing any sense of rhythm – which seems pretty discriminatory). [...]

Nobody's Perfect

There have been two perfect games pitched so far this season, which has never happened before.  Tonight there was almost a third.  There should have been a third.

But the umpire blew the call on what would have been the 27th out:

He Could Be President!

The last kid from Indonesia who smoked is our dear leader. This kid smokes 2 packs a day. I don’t know whether to be appalled or amazed. I think I’m both. From the Daily Mail:

Taking a deep drag on his cigarette while resting on the steering wheel of his truck, he [...]

$20 Whore?

On May 17 President Obama signed The Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act passed last year by Congress. The law is intended to strengthen freedom of the press overall by authorizing the State Department to monitor and report such things. Nothing says freedom like a foreign government monitoring your press, but I [...]

The mayor of Baltimore this week imposed new rules on city employees requiring them to report when they’ve been arrested after a convicted sex offender stayed on the city’s payroll while serving time, a local news site reported.

The Whiner-In-Chief's Latest Complaint?

Your kid can kick his ass in Call of Duty. Seriously. How else do you explain this quote:

Radio Free Thredonia 2.10 -- Coach JoePa & John Romano

It figures on the first day a Porvaznik-produced show, that actually had all show prep done a half-hour before 2:00 PM, and even started on time, all technical hell would subsequently break loose. Microphone issues, a call-in number inexplicably and unknowingly disconnected (yet, go figure, accessible via Skype), internet disconnections halfway through the show due [...]

And The Answer Is…

Before we get to that, we must get to this. Since I was playing hookey from 3D yesterday (aka: working) I did not get a chance to reply to this comment of Rufus:

One of the Little Fireflies (a girl, thank goodness!) went through a 10 month or so phase where she insisted on wearing a [...]

“Paco Bell’s Cannon”

One of my students wrote that that was her favorite piece of music.  She’s a snotty little wench so I know it wasn’t intentional.

Have not. Stopped. Laughing.

Video shot by my friend (and candidate for Rancho Santa Margarita City Council) Jesse Petrilla, while in Paris last year.
