I’m a big fan of Leg Iron’s rants at underdogs bite upwards. This, however may be among the two best sentences ever written in the English language: I’m not religious but Dear God, can’t you smack some intelligence into the things you made? You say you made them in your image and they make you […]
Also tagged quotes, wordsmithing, wtf?This QOTD (from this source) is actually from a couple of weeks ago. It appeared in The Smallest Minority, a blog I highly recommend and one that I’ve recently added to my “daily dose” in the RSS reader. No doubt the warmist crowd will be quick to express outrage at this blatant confusion of global […]
Also tagged Economics, humor, Nanny State, Politics, Science/TechnologyThere’s a global warming climate conference going on this week in Mexico. In case you thought it actually had something to do with climate, this, from one of the IPCC bigwigs might be of some interest to you: Climate policy has almost nothing to do anymore with environmental protection, says the German economist and IPCC […]
Also tagged abuse of power, Economics, envy, foreign policy, lie to me, Nanny StateRep. Nick Rahall, Democratic incumbent for the U.S. House in the 3rd District of West Virginia: Climate change — to deny it exists, to just put your head in the sand and, ‘oh no, it doesn’t exist, what are you talking about,’ is about like standing on the floor of Macy’s during the month of […]
Also tagged abuse of power, Economics, humor, Nanny State, Politics, quotes, Science/TechnologyIt seems like just a couple of years ago we had trouble with our air conditioner. Of course, they never break down when it’s 80 degrees outside with a cool breeze. They wait for a day when it’s 107° outside (like today) when I don’t get home til long after the maintenance guys have left […]
Also tagged Kansas, PersonalThere’s a woman who lives across the parking lot from me who has one of those little “box-on-wheels, I’m better than you because I’m saving the planet” cars. I’ve never spoken to her, nor she to me, but when we meet coming or going in the parking lot she always glares up at me. Personally, […]
Also tagged humor, pointless gestures, wtf?An odd collection of links tonight: First, an article which looks at a number of “Gansta vs. Cop” shooting issues. That description isn’t nearly as interesting as the article. Among other points, contrary to what I believed, “Gangstas” actually get more shots on target than the Cops they are shooting at. The author speculates that […]
Also tagged Economics, Guns, movies, Nanny State, pointless gestures, wtf?When I was in grade school I had a crush on a girl in my class. She was cute and very sweet and smart and I really, really liked her. Of course, I never said anything to her, although once (in the 6th grade, I think) I brought her a bouquet of flowers I had […]
Also tagged abuse of power, ethics, lie to me, wtf?I spent the afternoon splitting logs with a maul for my folks. The last time I did that was at least 10 years ago. I’m not feeling too bad right now, but I’m guessing I’ll have a bit of trouble getting out of bed in the morning. I’m not sure how he got it, but […]
Also tagged cool stuff, Science/TechnologyIf you’ve got half an hour, it would be worth your time to watch this video. I find it rather refreshing to hear Lord Monckton labelling the principals of the AGW fraud the criminals that they are. And then back up the charges. I was also tickled by his statement that these individuals “call themselves […]
