Not a bad way to spend the summer


I wouldnt’ think.

Wrong


Mike Turk says McClellan is getting beat up for telling what everybody already knows.
Well I’ve got news for him. HE may not care about that last 28%, but some of us do. Let’s hope they’re too busy reading Townhall.com to notice this.

At the Death House Door


We’re probably going to have to wait on this to hit DVD. I doubt a Chattanooga theatre will run it.  But anyway… the trailer will follow.  Not before a note about a recent study re-confirming the ongoing racism in the death culture. Nothing in the study or in my own experience helps me discern [...]

Caesaropapism Rampant


Americans are said to be cynical about politics. Actually, they are presidential romantics. Which is why they suffer serial disappointments.
The next President, whomever it may be, will not disappoint me. I will not allow it. I have had enough disappointments for the last 8 years to last me two more lifetimes.
I vow to expect nothing [...]

T-T-T Declares Obama Winner of Pledged Delegate Race


… we do so belatedly, because we have been busy with other things. We only speak for smijer, though we expect jadarm & Buck concur.
Excluding Michigan and Florida, Obama has won the pledged delegate race. With 86 pledged delegates remaining unsecured, Obama leads Clinton by 161 delegates. If Clinton wins all of the uncommitted pledged [...]

Pass This Along If You Agree. If You Don’t, Simply Delete


… The post title, or a variant thereof, is the tagline of many an e-mail forward I receive on various of my smijer e-mail addresses.

If our orbit wuz elliptical


We’d all be dead.
Oh no! Wait! This is terrible news. I guess now that we’re all dead, biologists will never explain how our feet evolved the ability to stick to gravity!
But, seriously, folks… It’s pretty obvious that the line of reasoning that the producers of Expelled mangle so badly is the “fine tuning” argument, and [...]

Hilarious, except for the stakes…


If he wasn’t going to be the next President, this McCain gaffe would be absolutely the most hysterical campaign mistake I can remember. This coming from a candidate for President of the United States, or in the new parlance, Commander in Chief. The sole executor and protector of national security. This is a [...]

Tsunami in a Teapot


After the House race / special election in Mississippi that everyone is talking about, there is definitely a Democratic surge in the air for November. Possible veto-proof majorities in either house or both.
Too bad the Executive has All Power and Authority now.
Look, I may have been overly pessimistic about the Presidential [...]

The weather is weird!


I have never been one to buy into the global warming thing. I do not deny that the globe is warming I just don’t put a lot of stock in the notion that man is the driving force behind the changes in weather.
That being said I still am amazed at the weather we have been [...]
