I second that emotion

Just something about the way Gene Wojciechowski’s brain ticks that makes me smile, widely, more often than not. Love me that Chicken!!!

The Annoyance of Being Earnest

While vacationing in my relatively unknown place I had the pleasure of going to a local bakery (because it’s relatively close to the isolated place we’re staying) called Bread Not Bombs (after the old liberal (Greenpeace?) slogan). The place was so righteous, so sincere — so earnest — in its capitalistic greed to charge [...]

Why Sarah Runs

Aha!

What I lacked in physical strength or skill I made up for in determination and endurance. So if it were a long race that required a lot of endurance I’d win.

Finally, out of the wilderness, a magazine story on Alaska’s governor that taps into part of her appeal but none of her (made-up) flaws.

Sympathy: Empathy’s Red-Headed Stepbrother

In yesterday’s Best of the Web, James Taranto remarks upon the Supreme Court’s decision in the Ricci case.  Specifically, he notes a little sparring between Justices Alito and Ginsburg regarding the role of  “sympathy” in the justice system.

…an exchange between Justice Ginsburg (writing for the dissenters) and Justice Samuel Alito (joined in his concurrence [...]

Tornado Death Toll Drops Dramatically

With today marking the final day for peak tornado activity, USA Today reports that the death toll has fallen from 121 people this time last year to 21 in 2009.*

Now, tornado death tolls—like hurricane property damage—is largely a matter of chance, and depends on whether or not these storms hit populated areas or not.  [...]

A Request from Irshad Manji

 This morning I received an e-mail from Irshad Manji, the author of a remarkable book, The Trouble with Islam Today.

Here’s what she had to say:

Infrequent Dose of Hubba-hubba: John Boehner

Because as the blog pottymouth, of course I’m gonna love this guy.

Because someone had to call Cap & Trade what it is.  Thank goodness it was one of our guys.

Because I love the smell of testosterone in the morning.

Because Ohio suddenly took its share of the covers.  May it last through 2012!

Tuesday Open Thread

Ohhh… Alright… by Roy Lichtenstein

High kangaroos blamed for crop circles

One of the dangers of growing your stash outdoors is having the local wildlife partaking to it. This happened in Australia, when some local marsupials ate the opium, then tore the place apart.

Wallabies snacking in Tasmania’s legally grown opium poppy fields are getting “high as a kite” and hopping around in circles, trampling the [...]

Reverse Racist? No, Just Plain Ol’ Racist.

After this lovely rant from the Black Entertainment Awards, I should be relieved I now get to save money by not seeing anything starring Jamie Foxx in the future. Not much of a problem, really, considering I can’t recall doing so anyway since Ray.

However, Michael Jackson spends the better part of his lifetime non-divisively [...]

Pick the ‘FN review

Meant to catch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen by now, but the EGR valve on the FN-mobile went kaput, meaning an afternoon of scrapped knuckles, bloody fingers and greasy pants. With Public Enemies debuting tin two days, which film would the loyal Threedonia-ites care to read about first? Transformers? Public Enemies? I’m planning on [...]

Krugman making it too easy

Nobel economist and sham columnist, Paul Krugman of the New York Times, has labeled anyone opposed to the Democrats behemoth crap-and-trade legislation as a “traitor to the planet.” Even as President Obama has relented on some of the finer points of the legislation, Krugman has pushed it a step further. Here’s something you rarely get [...]

Buzzmachine vs. The Cleveland Plain Dealer

Jeff Jarvis takes on Connie Schultz, columnist for The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Schultz wants a re-writing of copyright law allowing newspapers to keep stories exclusive for a 24-hour period before others can reprint or link to them. Jarvis begs to differ, and points out that Schultz is the wife of Senator Sherrod Brown. It goes [...]

Floyd’s Monday Open Thread, Brought to You by Mike!

This Is No Time for Experts

With actual data showing no evidence of global warming for years–despite increasing CO2 levels–the Al Gores of the world have shifted their terminology (and bogeyman) to “climate change.”

Of all the myriad natural occurrences they lay at the doorstep of human-caused climate change, their favorite is the melting of ice in the arctic circle.  That’s because we [...]

Radio Free Threedonia XIV — AlfonZo Rachel

Liberals, you have only yourselves to blame for making AlfonZo Rachel the internet phenom and PJTV mainstay he’s become. We on the right thank you … a lot.

Zo lets loose on how God has shined His blessings down on his rapid rise to prominence as a spokesperson for the conservative movement, the power [...]

Cracked: Beyond badass soldiers

From time to time, I revist this article from Cracked about five real-life soldiers, comparing them to on-screen counterparts who can’t really compare at all. My brother re-linked me to it today, so here it is, again, if you have read it before.

First, Simo Haya …

Simo Hayha had a fairly boring life [...]

Floyd’s Sunday Open Thread, brought to you by Wankette

Because they’re playing “Can’t Get it Out of My Head” by ELO on the radio, and I have no other place to swoon over it.

Obama good. Big Business Baaaaaaaad!!!

Raging Liberal Ragging on Obama

Bob Herbert, the black op-ed columnist, noted for his raging socialist views and support for everything liberal and populist is asking economists (and by proxy his savior [...]

‘Cap and Trade’ More Like ‘Bait and Switch’

Andrew Price at Commentarama has the best summary of this fiasco I have seen anywhere:

Why did they do this? Short answer: they don’t like you. Longer answer: Environmental theologians, like Al Gore the Prophet, believe that carbon dioxide, a heat-trapping “greenhouse” gas, is the primary cause of global warming.

They note that carbon dioxide [...]
