From today’s Washington Times… President Obama’s EPA is already well down the path to regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, something the act was not designed to do. It has a problem, however, because shoehorning greenhouse gases into that 40-year-old law would force churches, schools, warehouses, commercial kitchens and other sources to obtain [...] Share on Facebook 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 [...] Somebody at the Environmental Protection Agency takes too much policy guidance from Chris Rock standup routines. Rumors — let’s call it “truth” — were circulating that the EPA was planning on banning lead — as in lead bullets. You see the lead was poisoning the environment and killing animals. Yeah.. I know. A bunch [...] GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES (1953) Two fortune hunting friends venture all the way to Paris in search of millionaire husbands.

Patriotism — hell even mere pride of place — has become passe to many Americans… something of which we are sometimes made to feel ashamed or reticent to talk about. To hell with that. I love my [...]
Marvin Gaye’s performs for The Association of Stereotypical White People This is a weekend truth or dare folks. Your challenge: reveal something that’s a little offbeat – strange – weird even – about yourself. Not disturbing (Floyd take note: NOT disturbing – we don’t care if the statute of limitations [...] Share on Facebook This one is on us America — and quite frankly you can thank us too World. I haven’t talked to Rufus but since I know he is independently upper middle class he won’t mind if we forgo our usual fee. We have solved America’s problems in our Friday Open Thread. Who knew that a [...] Share on Facebook Stevie Ray Vaughan…look out it’s Hillbillies From Outer Space! Sorry I couldn’t work baseball in there too.

Ke$ha’s early life influenced her current music career. Her mother, Pebe Sebert, was also a singer and songwriter who struggled to support her two children. While Kei$ha was an infant, her mom would [...] Frank J. at www.imao.us has a great post about recent news stories that ceased to be news once it was discovered the perpetrators were not angry, right wing nutjobs. They were angry, left wing nutjobs, but since the mainstream media is convinced there is no such animal there is no sense in assigning a reporter [...] On the one hand — thank God MTV had the wisdom to put SRV on Unplugged and document this genius. On the other hand… 3 friggin’ songs? Half of a 30 minutes show? What the heck MTV? I saw him in Abilene, Texas a few months before he died — awesome… [...] While Michael Weinreb’s latest book may lean a little too much in the Nittany Lion direction for some folks’ liking, still think nods to Bo Jackson, Brian Bosworth, Jim McMahon and Lenny Bias (RIP) merit a little trumpeting.
