This story doesn’t say it, because it hasn’t been widely reported yet, but this shooting took place in a town about 30 miles from where I am and where friends live. I was talking to one of them who lives in town there and the man who was killed is a locally well-known opponent of [...]

Digital Conversion Confusion: Dogs, Cats and Liberals Living Together, Mass Hysteria!

Filed Under Current Events, Science & Nature | Leave a Comment

The government (you, me and future generations) spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 billion dollars on the “digital conversion” — much of it going towards a couple years worth of highly publicized (as mandated by the FCC) warnings of what to expect and how to prepare.
It was not difficult to understand, but, as was [...]

Somebody’s about to be McWealthy:
A giant set of golden arches outside a McDonald’s in eastern Arizona toppled in high winds Wednesday, crushing a Naperville couple’s Chevy Trailblazer as they sat inside the parked vehicle.

Here’s your mid-morning palate-cleanser: What could taste better after tea than the BA-K-47 — a full size replica of an AK-47 made out of bacon:

Now just make the shells out of over-easy eggs and a sight out of pancakes and we’ll prepared for an invasion of the cardiologist’s office.

Anderson Cooper Gets a Little Testis About Tea Parties

Filed Under Current Events, Media | Leave a Comment

In this jewel of a clip, CNN’s Anderson Cooper goes for all the marbles when he says “It’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging” while David Gergen yucks it up. It doesn’t get any more disconcerting than watching these two guys analyze grassroots balls the size of the tea parties:
