I was going to blog about this one, but Althouse pretty much knocked it out of the park! Those who are harping on the shower issue have lost track of the pervasive reality that we can’t know and can’t police what is in another person’s mind — and that people frequently think sexual thoughts. It’s […]
A news story appeared yesterday that revealed some 98 small community banks (a “ton” as described by the headline) that took TARP funds are on the brink of failure. 98 American banks that received $4.2 billion in bailout money are teetering on the edge of collapse, according to the Wall Street Journal. In Q2 the […]
Really???? Someone can possibly say that with a straight face??? While at the same time the military is currently on a mission to pull off one of the greatest social experiments ever attempted – bringing Democracy to Afghanistan and Iraq!!! I am a gay man. I’ve known all my life. I came to terms with […]
From Graaaaaydon Caaaaarter, the uber-sophisticate editor of…. Vaaaaaanity Fair: Well, anger certainly continues to be all the rage in the corridors of American politics. Not to mention American corridors in general. Polls taken prior to the November midterm election indicated that a surprising number of Obama voters said they were going to vote Republican this […]
Dale Carpenter’s response is priceless! Note that he includes the the transcript of the full quote. Here is Qoute 1 in it’s full form: We must stop pandering to the pornographers and the perverts who seek to target our children and destroy their lives.

It appears it works better for baseball pitchers than it does for bloggers. On the 40 year anniversary of Dock Ellis’s throwing a no hitter while tripping the merry-go-round, Andrew Sullivan manages to scribble this (in crayon presumably) on his blog this morning about Barrack Obama: That’s the brutal truth and we have to face […]
From the MSNBC homepage: A big Beck crowd — but how big? Rally is over, but the controversy over widely varying crowd estimates goes on. Strange that Becks crowd size is controversial, yet, the anti-war rallies, or the immigration rally, or even the Million Man March one, you know, the one where there was supposed […]
I haven’t noticed this story of a slain Mormon lay priest getting any NATIONAL headlines as of yet, but if it were an Imam, well, you know what would be happening right now… Oh, For those not familiar with the San Joaquin Valley, Visalia is not too far from my city, Fresno. My in-laws are […]
Mark Tapscott gives us the heads-up that some in the Democratic circle are proclaiming that the Iraq war has cost $3 trilion dollars. The CBO, you know, those guys that actually account for all congressional expenditures, shows the cost at about $709 billion, a wee bit short of the $3 trillion mark. Here’s a CBO […]
