Where’s that drought they promised.

The members of the Church of Global Warming said that we were going to have less rain and droughts. December beat the previous record. So far this month we’ve had enough that we now have an average of eight inches of standing water in the yard all 1.6 acres. To make it worse, there’s no […]



This is weird.

At least for the Southern Coastal Carolinas. I had to take a hair dyer to the well pump this morning. Seems Global Warming has it so hot the pipe froze. The 30 ft diameter flood hole(aids drainage in heavy rain) with 2 ft of water is frozen over as well. I know that the Yankees […]



Thank you Mattel and Powerwheels.

Your shoddy manufacturing and closed customer service center just earned you a bitch online.
Yes just keep shipping the Barbie PowerWheels Jeep with holes in the wrong place and the parts riveted so we can’t fix your screw up.
Now my granddaughter won’t have her present until Saturday. If the store has another and If it’s […]



Not to Harsh Your Mellow or Anything…

But visit or call your parents.

While you still can.



New War Crimes…

..by gamers? Games ‘permit’ virtual war crimes Talk about a waste of resources.
Human rights groups played various games to see if any broke humanitarian laws that govern what is a war crime.
The study condemned the games for violating laws by letting players kill civilians, torture captives and wantonly destroy homes and buildings.
It said game […]



Radley Takes Soros Website Media Doesn’t Matter to Task

I say “Soros website” because much of thier funding comes from groups Soros funds or controls.
Media Matters Slams Heritage for Being Soft on Crime
Yes, you read that correctly. The liberal website Media Matters has posted a sleazy attack on the conservative Heritage Foundation that, frankly, reads like a press release from some law and […]



French Racism

Via The Other McCain. Blackface 2009 : Lara Stone in French Vogue

Odd how there seems to be a lack of condemnation for this. I’m quite sure there are plenty of Black models that are qualified for the shoot.
Check out the comments and tell me they’d be as lowkey if this was an American publication. And […]



Media (Doesn’t) Matter

ACORN links to this report on it’s propaganda site. REPORT: Conservative media consistently scapegoat undocumented immigrants, ACORN This surprised me untill I looked at the staff page at mediamatters.
Tom Allison most recently worked for John Edwards’ presidential campaign in Iowa. In Virginia, he was involved with campaigns for Gov. Tim Kaine and Sen. Jim Webb, […]



Oh Hell No, Say It isn’t So

Edward Kennedy Will Be Buried in Arlington National Cemetery
Somebody please tell me that this insult to the brave men and women of our Armed Forces will not happen.
Kennedy’s status as a former member of the armed services — he was honorably discharged after serving as a private first class in the U.S. Army in 1953 […]



Stealing from Charity

The “Cash For Clunkers” program is taking many cars that would normally go to charity auctions. AP story so I’m not linking and will paraphrase.
Cheryl Rios of Texas Can estimates a loss of $75,000.00 so far. At the last auction they had people call at the last minute to get their cars back.
Many of the […]



Just Because You Can Do Something Doesn’t Mean You Should

Video Surveillance on the Fly: Here’s Looking at You!
The text below the Dept. of Homeland Security logo at the top of the urinal reads:
Automatic infrared flush sensors also provide video monitoring for security purposes.

That ought to do wonders for bashful bladder syndrome.
Possibly a hoax. But, like all good hoaxes, it is unfortunately plausible.



Another Bad Cop. And a Good Samaritan.

Fracas breaks out after bond set for detective
Joseph Frugoli, 41, was ordered held in jail in lieu of a $500,000 bail at the noontime hearing.
the family and relatives apparently became infuriated at the bail amount, and left the courtroom talking loudly. Once outside, they confronted passersby “insisting this was a travesty, that the police are […]



Barack Chavez?

U.S. Seeks Expanded Power to Seize Firms
The Obama administration is considering asking Congress to give the Treasury secretary unprecedented powers to initiate the seizure of non-bank financial companies, such as large insurers, investment firms and hedge funds, whose collapse would damage the broader economy,
“Damage the broader economy” is such a vague term. GM’s collapse will […]



Neca Eos Omnes Gets My Vote

Egyptian offers daughter to Iraqi shoe-thrower
Charming. Nice how daughters are worthless and can be given away like door prizes.
The daughter, Amal Saad Gumaa, said she agreed with the idea. “…I would like to live in Iraq, especially if I were attached to this hero,” she told Reuters by telephone.
Well, sure. Iraq’s GDP is hard to […]



The Great White North

State of Emergency: One Million Powerless as Ice Storm Paralyzes Parts of New England
Stupid weather.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: why anybody in his right mind would live in this godforsaken climate is beyond me.

Ocean Acidity Rising at Surprising Pace
Measurements of ocean acidification in the U.S. Pacific Northwest show acidity is rising more than ten times faster than climate models have predicted.
This is terrible! Simple linear projection tells us that the entire ocean will be like stomach acid in just a few short years. I call for immediate government […]



This item cannot ship to CA

I was looking at the Budk online catalog. I thought the 18 inch blowgun would be nice for places like Calli. Then I saw this.
Note: This item cannot ship to CA
They can’t ship the 5 foot ones either.
This is on the stunguns.
Note: This item cannot ship to HI, MA, MI, NJ, NY, RI, or WI
There […]



This Means War!

It’s bad enough that the Chinese are poisoning pet food and baby formula. (Through incompetence or mercantile greed; I don’t think anyone claimed it was an attack.) But now they’ve gone and poisoned sex toys. It’s time to bring down the kleptocracy and bring in some meaningful quality control.



Delicate Flowers

Man charged with passing gas, then fanning it toward South Charleston patrolman
South Charleston police have charged a man with battery after they say he intentionally passed gas on an officer while under arrest for suspicion of drunken driving.
Is the nickname of South Charleston, WV, “Whiny Bitch Central”? Being able to take that away from The […]



Get While the Getting’s Good

American auto makers are bellying up to the Congressional trough. They’re looking for a $50B loan so they can modernize their plants and design more efficient vehicles. Apparently the US manufacturers are unable to do what the Japanese and Korean manufacturers are able to do on their own nickel. (This is from an AP article; […]



Apropos Nothing 2

Anybody got any good leads for a senior programmer in Texas, New Zealand, Singapore, or other places far, far from the Northeast US? I’m interested only in leads in which moving the family will not be paid for. No assignment too hazardous or unpleasant.



Apropos Nothing

Suggested research paper topic for a Sociology or Criminal Justice undergrad: What is the relationship between day trips and other short family vacations and familial homicide, abandonment, or other undesirable behaviour? Be sure to note the effect of automobile size and the number of family members in the automobile.



Claim Denial

The Ex is currently unable to work and applied for SSI disability. Their denial:
You state that you are disabled and unable to work due to PTSD, depression, agoraphobia, memory problems,syncope, migraines, muscle problems, knee problems and back problems. You are not performing any substantial work now.
The evidence we received shows your condition(s) causes some work-related […]



This Cannot be Good

It seems the United Steelworkers are joining up with the UK’s UNITE.
Murray said the new super-union’s structure was still being worked on. He said its two component parts would maintain their separate identities, at least at first. He added that the new grouping hoped to enlist other foreign unions.
Corps aren’t allowed monopolies, but Unions are. […]



Child protective(?) services.

Texas may yet get its head handed to it. They have just started to check the ages of the FLDS “girls” they kidnapped - oops, I mean rescued.
But in the past week, the state has twice been forced to admit “girls” who gave birth while in state custody are actually adults. One was 22 and […]
