Earlier this past weekend a new commenter accused us, here in Threedonia, of being high brow because we poked fun at a enviro-comedy (oxymoronic) film called Furry Vengeance. In fact… SlipperyjackHawkEye (not his real name) wrote: What a bunch of High Brow folks hypocrites here, bet you never watch anything but PBS, and Ban fishing? Obama is the one who is a barbarian… Here are some cultural offering for him: I’d include Moby Dick, but of course that was whaling. The person who does not appreciate hunting and fishing does not fully appreciate God’s creation. Share on Facebook In today’s Texas history class students we find that on this date in 1836 the Alamo fell to the Mexican Army. For 13 days between 100-150 Texicans held out against the onslaught of over 1500 Mexican soldiers under the command of General Santa Anna. The battle became a rallying point for the Texas [...] Since none of you heathens mentioned it, allow me to remember that TODAY is TEXAS INDEPENDENCE DAY! To be honest if I wasn’t reminded by 67 Cougar I would have forgotten. Not much of an excuse I know but I was supervising 3 attack weapons teams flight operations over Iraq, so I nearly jacked it [...] Cool Hand Luke (1967) There’s no failure to communicate here. Luke will not bow and scrape to the man. It’s more anti-authoritarian than Shawshank Redemption — Andy [...] Let me preface this post regarding the Chicago gun ban case by saying this: I think the Chicago ordinance is foolish, evil, stupid, and an abomination. The plaintiff, Mr. McDonald is correct when he says the city government favors thugs over him. It does. I also believe Heller v. DC was correctly [...] Threedonia friend, sometime Radio Free Threedonia co-host Daniel Crandall has a great post over at his home digs — S.T. Karnick’s The American Culture — highlighting an idea that Sarah Palin would be better served by forgoing a political run for a career as a media player — a la Oprah Winfrey. Daniel points us to [...] Want to know why Ron Paul will NEVER be President? This pretty much sums it up. There are plenty of good reasons to dislike the Federal Reserve… and then there are Paulie’s reasons. Cocoa Puffs anyone? h/t: Jonah Goldberg at The Corner Share on Facebook Share on Facebook I love the Bible. I love reading it, studying it and I find it continually relevant on everyday topics attendant with the spiritual wisdom inside. I don’t expect some of you to understand all that — e-mail me and we’ll have a chat about that — I’m not a blog proselytizer…. Anyway… [...] *** Can’t guarantee I’ll be here the entire game — especially if it starts to suck, but feel free to comment on ads, game, half-time, Katrina mentions… Share on Facebook You might remember this Douche. Well, the FBI has rolled him up. Read all about it HERE. Thanks to CDR Salamander, X Brad TC and everyone who got involved to see this tool arrested and hopefully punished. Share on Facebook Tom Brookshier, former Philadelphia Eagles DB and CBS football broadcaster died last Friday of cancer at age 78. Before it was John Madden-Pat Summerall it was Tom Brookshier and Pat Summerall through Super Bowl XIV. Another part of childhood in the 1970s passes with Mr. Brookshier. Saturdays belonged to Keith Jackson and [...] Earlier today (it’s late Saturday) I did the “good son in law” thing and took my mother in law to a gospel concert… with this group Ernie Haase & Signature Sound. She grew up in Indiana and I grew up in Texas so we grew up on similar music (though this is more Southern [...] The crew of Apollo 1: Edward White, Gus Grissom, Robert Chaffee, R.I.P. Share on Facebook From GrEaT sAtAn”S gIrLfRiEnD “On 26 January 1945, 2d Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which was attacked by 6 tanks and waves of infantry. 2d Lt. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw to prepared positions in a woods, while he remained forward at his command post and continued to give fire directions to the artillery by [...] We didn’t say much this year about the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade last Friday. Reader Kenn Christenson linked in the comments to this fantastic and sobering article from The Weekly Standard about how experience and ultrasound force many abortionists into a crisis of conscience and ultimately, of course, a choice. I’m always reminded [...]
Kit was kind enough to forward the link to the above – many thanks K! The W/Dark Knight comparison has been made on these pages many times before, but the above sums it up very nicely. Like many a conservative, the biggest problem that I had with W was his refusal to [...] From CDR Salamander comes this story of a guy who showed up at a party honoring Houston’s new mayor. In a linked photo over there his uniform has him as a Brigadier General (One Star). Yeah, if that douche is a one-star then I’m Neil Armstrong. Head on over to Salamander’s place for the [...] This song sums up today’s Cowboys-Vikings game. In any case… there’s nothing to say but to tip my hat especially to the Vikings defense. The game would’ve been a lot closer if not for the Vikes D. Share on Facebook As part of my R&R leave, I am continuing my never ending quest to find good BBQ and other culinary delights. In that sprit I stopped in at an eatery in Arlington, TX called Bone Daddy’s House of Smoke. I had heard about the Austin location from some guys in the unit before [...] Share on Facebook Is the NFL a single entity or a collection of 32 individual entities that can act separately? That basic question comes up before the U.S. Supreme Court this week. The case, NFL v. American Needle, comes up for argument this week and New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees weighs in at The Washington [...] Share on Facebook Tomorrow afternoon I’m giving a guest lecture on the insanity defense to a graduate psychology course entitled “The Psychopathic Mind”. The usual suspects appear of course: And Bundy and Gacy, etc. All cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs — yet none insane (except for Andrea Yates). I found a particularly chilling 911 call [...] To everyone who sent packages to Operation Secret Santa here at Threedonia. Share on Facebook We often complain loud and long about how “the media” never gets it right. About how they are willing to be toadies for things most of us don’t believe in. Well, when they do get something right I think we need to take notice and reward them for a job well done. The Dallas Morning News [...] In case you couldn’t show up live last Sunday … OK, so it took about 30 minutes of starts and stops and more silence than anything, but such is apparently the way of the world when making the switch to live online radio. However, Eric, Floyd and eventually Rich (aka Mr. Front Page) anchored this week’s show, [...] Share on Facebook Rudy’s BBQ (the worst BBQ in Texas), has a thing going that I’d appreciate it if all of our readers took the time to participate in. Actually Rudy’s BBQ is pretty good stuff for a chain BBQ joint…I recommend the sausage and get a side of their beans while you are at it, wash [...] While the GOP as a whole needs revamping… some in there still have juice… From Rep. John Carter (R. — Tex) the Timothy Geithner Penalty Waiver Act and here’s Carter’s press release: Carter says the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution mandates equal penalties for similar offenses, and that the failure of [...] From IOWAHAWK Green Bay, WI – Like a pot of bratwurst left unattended at a Lambeau Field pregame party, simmering tensions in the strife-torn Midwest boiled over once again today as rioting mobs of green-and-gold clad youth and plump farm wives rampaged through Wisconsin Denny’s and IHOPs, burning Texas toast and demanding apologies and extra half-and-half. The [...] Got this in my e-mail today. If you’re in the area stop on by for a good time! Dear Texas Veteran: Please allow me to say “thank you” for your great and unselfish service to our country. Your willingness to do your part in helping to keep America strong and safe is greatly appreciated by all [...] Not that it ultimately matters because I’m sure both sergeants and the the folks at Ft. Hood are just glad Hasan got shot, but it is very interesting given the Politically Correct causes of this incident that political correctness might be rearing its head in the post mortem. From The New York Times: But the story of [...] Who knew the littlest boy (my great uncle Jack) would die in a place called Anzio Beach in 12 years and the oldest (my grandfather Leon) would jump out of a burning B-17 over Magdeburg in May 1944 to spend 11 months in a POW camp? They weren’t victims or rubes. They were stiff-necked, [...] Is it just me or does Jake Gyllenhaal look like juiced up Charlie Sheen spoofing Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo character in Hot Shots Part Deux? They showed this tonight before the Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles game (Cowboys 20-16!). You know — maybe if this was his first film after October Sky, but between his Rendition whininess and [...] From Dave in Texas at the blogAce of Spades Last night former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura made a secret visit to the devastated military families at Fort Hood. Valour: The quality of mind which enables a person to face danger with boldness or firmness; courage or bravery, esp. as shown in warfare or conflict; valiancy, prowess. From The New York Times….

Share on Facebook Bullshit: 1. Rubbish, nonsense I know most of you don’t have a dog in this fight, but here goes… Evangelicals know well — or should — the writings of Francis Schaeffer on worldview.

I can’t tell if that’s blackface or if that what she looks like after she stepped into the shit storm she’s embroiled in.
